Our 3D Blueprinting methodology helps you plan a Service Oriented Architecture approach that enables you to more rapidly create new composite business services from your existing business processes. Several SOA technologies are available for the MCP environment such as Java EE enabling you to reuse your existing assets or create new SOA-based components.

• Pay for resources only as you use them

  ClearPath Libra servers offer the industry’s leading, Pay-for-Use business models and metering technology. You always have all the processing power you’ll need instantaneously, without having to pay for any resources beyond what you actually use. Together, the dynamic combination of metering and Pay-for-Use systems provide the cornerstone for establishing an in-house private utility. Find out how they can help you transform your data center to address your greatest financial and operational challenges.

• Enjoy a highly secure Java environment

  Exposing your servers to a Web environment can be risky business given today’s ever more intelligent hackers, viruses and worms. Java is a relatively secure environment, but it’s not without flaws. Running your Java-based Web applications in an environment as secure as MCP is a major advantage. ClearPath Java offers many other benefits: It enables you to implement SOA-based applications, integrate and reuse your existing non-Java applications in your Java applications running on diverse operating environments.  And all this using industry standard skills and tools.
