Improving legacy transaction processing

NXTera FX is a middleware framework that allows the use of multi-database transaction processing in all the languages supported by NXTera. NXTera FX has standard rapid application development tools (sqlmake, rpcmake, rpcdebug, etc.) in the building of enterprise-class distributed transaction processing applications. NXTera FX middleware implements services that automate and simplify many of the challenges involved in developing and deploying distributed applications, such as:

  • Cross-platform communications
  • Secure communication services
  • Cross-language and development tool integration

Using NXTera FX middleware, developers and architects can build secure multi-tiered business applications using a variety of development tools such as JAVA, COBOL, C, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi and other 4GLs. With NXTera distributed applications can be built, modified and easily, integrated with legacy environments, and new technologies, as they emerge.

Features and benefits

With NXTera FX middleware, companies are able to extend the value of their legacy investment in COBOL, C/C++ business logic as well as RPC-based applications. With NXTera FX middleware tools, developers can deliver solutions with shorter and less expensive development cycles, compared to other legacy middleware development tools. Applications developed with other middlewares like Entera, DCE, TCP-IP, EZ-RPC,and ONC-RPC can easily be upgraded to NXTera.

NXTera is committed to performance. Its high speed data access mechanism provides a 25-65% increase in performance over other other RPC-based middleware solutions as a result of improved memory management. Tests have shown an up to a 45% increase in data throughput over Entera and other RPC-based platforms.

NXTera Middleware delivers:

  • An API compatible replacement for Entera middleware
  • integrated support for SOAP, XML, J2EE, and REST
  • integrated support CICS/IMS, SOAP, XML, Web Services and messaging/ESB
  • Federated and personalized Web services
  • Legacy to Web data "Mash-ups"
