The NXTware Evolution Server enables existing business logic to inter-operate with contemporary computing platforms on demand.

The Evolution Server takes advantage of open industry standards to define scalable, secure, and transactional mechanisms that enable legacy systems to generate XML and participate in contemporary SOA/ESB architectures such as .NET, J2EE, and SOAP.

The Evolution Server also serves as a consolidator of legacy functions which are then made available as contemporary services. These services can act as transitional provider, linking applications in transition to old back-ends and new systems transparently.

In this way, the Evolution Server makes it possible for applications to evolve one function at a time -- avoiding the overhead and bloat of traditional integration solutions where integration is an all or nothing proposition with high costs and unnecessary complexity.

As the first enterprise evolution server, NXTware provides older, "last-generation" applications with:

Integration
NXTware enables existing IMS, CICS, DCE, RPC, CORBA and RPG/COBOL applications to serve as both consumers and providers of .NET, J2EE and XML data and logic.

Emulation and Replacement
NXTware emulates existing distributed infrastructures such as DCE, EZ-RPC, Entera and CORBA, allowing companies to continue to use existing application logic, while they transition to more contemporary service platforms at their own speed.

Federation
NXTware serves as a service interface layer to existing RPC, DCE, CORBA and RPG applications, and as a framework allowing existing functions to be federated together with new J2EE, .NET or Web Services logic.

Mitigation
NXTware slows the standard ROI bell curve by lowering the cost of ownership, maintenance and development for last-generation applications, while concurrently reducing operational risk.

NXTware EV Technical Overview

The NXTware EV platform finally provides an easy, transparent way to extend the ROI and productivity of last generation business logic.

NXTware EV can:

• Transparently expose DCE, RPC, RPG/COBOL services as .NET and J2EE objects
• Support automatic generation of XML data output from existing application services
• Incorporate LDAP and work with various LDAP servers
• Employ a scalable J2EE servlet engine
• Work with leading J2EE application servers such as BEA WebLogic and IBM WebSphere
• Integrate existing legacy security models with contemporary security systems
• Support a variety of consumer/provider (client/server) bindings, including:
  • C#
  • .NET
  • VB.NET
  • ASP.NET
  • JCA
  • J#
  • C++
  • J2EE
  • SOAP
• Using JCA Connection technology supports integration with enterprise applications and messaging systems:
• Oracle Financial
• Siebel
• SAP
• PeopleSoft
• WebSphere/MQ Series
• message processing in a Web-Services based manner using Java's JAX-RPC standard
