Maintain, Modernize and Integrate Legacy to SOA

Over time challenges can mount to the smooth operation of your company's RPC-based applications.  Internal RPC skills tend to diminish as resources move on to new projects. Application service levels can decline with out knowledgeable application maintenance. Vendor support is unable to compensate and the cost of maintaining and operating these applications can rise.

With Services and technology eCube lower the cost of ownership and simplify the management, maintenance and evolution of valuable legacy RPC applications.

  • Modernization

Eclipse based RPC Tooling

NXTware IME for RPC is an Eclipse-based engineering environment that makes difficult legacy middleware to easier to manage and more cost effective to maintain and integrate. NXTware visualizes the maintenance and development of RPC applications making it easier for engineers unacustomed to commandline environments.  The NXTware IME for RPC includes 20 tools and Wizards that simply the development, testing, deployment and maintenance of RPC-based applications. NXTware IME for RPC delivers:

  • Simplified configuration and partitioning
  • Develop, maintain, configure, test and deploy RPC services from the NXTware IME
  • One button generation of RPC providers and consumers
  • Automated generation of data independent service with configurable data poolers
  • Federated RPC services
  • Support for Entera, DCE, TCP-IP, EZ-RPC,and ONC-RPC

RPC Integration

The NXTware IME is designed specifically for maintenance engineers and those needing to integrate applications based on RPC middleware. Its unique blend of features and benefits make it a stand out as an integration tool. Using NXTware IME users can imtegrate legacy COBOL, C, C++ and other legacy systems with RPC and RPC with contemporary platforms such as SOAP, .NET and message oriented middleware.

  • Enables less-experienced engineers to be more productive with visual tools
  • Focuses on business value, not on RPC "plumbing"
  • Enables RPC services to fully participate in SOA environments
  • One button generation of SOA Interfaces and integration services



RPC Modernization

Modernization includes moving and/or migrating applications based on heritage technologies into contemporary technologies, platforms and languages. In addition, Modernization includes the capture, reuse and redeployment of existing RPC business rules as services in services oriented and model driven architectures.

Modernization Benefits

RPC Modernization offers alternatives to development and package deployment projects and also provides ways to augment replacement initiatives through the reuse and migration of existing data and application architectures. RPC Modernization:

  • Streamlines the time and costs associated with eliminating or migrating obsolete technologies and platforms.
  • Lowers the risks associated with deploying replacement systems based on the reuse of proven functionality extracted from existing systems.
  • Reduces the costs and timeframes of migrating data into target data architectures, relational databases and package environments while improving the integrity of the end result.
  • Supports business unit consolidation, mergers and acquisition initiatives through data and application architecture consolidation and integration.
  • Enables the redeployment of proven, stable functionality in SOA, model driven and other agile architectures
