ClearPath Systems and Services - ClearPath MCP Software

A Complete Operating Environment for Your Enterprise-class Server

The premier MCP operating environment puts ClearPath Servers in a class by themselves. No other servers deliver their robust scalability, availability, data integrity and secure ultra-high-volume transaction processing capabilities. New software and middleware that extend MCP power and flexibility - and enhance their ability to integrate with virtually any hardware and software technology - reaffirm the Unisys commitment to ongoing development of our business-critical MCP mainframe servers.

ClearPath MCP is a complete operating environment for ClearPath Servers that includes all of the software needed to operate an enterprise-class server. The MCP operating system is at the heart of the operating environment. It is a "kernel" that handles input and output, processes runs, allocates system resources, manages files and data and provides a library of useful subroutines.

Transaction Server (formerly COMS), is a transaction manager and application server designed especially for and highly integrated with the ClearPath MCP operating environment. Transaction Server is extremely versatile and can process transactions from a variety of clients, including Web and mobile devices as well as traditional terminal-oriented devices. It can also participate in distributed "global" transactions and message queuing.

Enterprise Database Server for ClearPath MCP (formerly DMSII) is a mature, proven database management system that is highly scalable and reliable. Enterprise Database Server can be used by applications running in a variety of operating environments, including ClearPath MCP, Java, Microsoft Windows and Linux.
