Remote Development for OpenVMS

NXTware Remote is the industry’s first Eclipse remote development solution for HP OpenVMS. NXTware Remote combines an Eclipse plug-in with a remote server execution component to bring remote Eclipse development to OpenVMS. With NXTware Remote, teams of developers can edit code on local workstations -- then deploy, compile and debug on a remote OpenVMS server. Now any developer can be productive on OpenVMS without specialized training using the Eclipse IDE and NXTware Remote.

NXTware Remote also simplifies the maintenance of applications based on legacy OpenVMS languages such as C/C++, COBOL, BASIC and FORTRAN. NXTware Remote can also integrate into its process custom built utilities and frameworks designed by IT organizations to meet their own development needs.

NXTware Remote for OpenVMS

• Makes remote OpenVMS engineering possible from Windows and LINUX
• Simplifies the maintenance and development of new and legacy business logic
• Enables Eclipse IDE to support multiple legacy languages and custom utilities
• Extends OpenVMS business logic to Java and Web Services

Modernization process for OpenVMS

ARM modernization is a series of tool-enabled disciplines that facilitate the understanding, improvement, migration, reuse and/or transformation of existing software systems. eCube's ARM process is made up of three major phases: assessment, remediation and modernization. Because the ARM process breaks down into phases, organizations can readily apply selected ARM disciplines to a wide variety of projects.

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 data and business rules in object based languages, such as Java or C#, new data models, services oriented architectures and model driven architectures.

eCube delivers the benefits of Modernization as well as related capabilities that organizations can employ to derive the most value from existing software assets over the long-term
