ClearPath Mainframe Servers

Unisys ClearPath mainframes handle some of the world’s most demanding mission-critical workloads, delivering scalable, reliable, and secure real-time infrastructure. Security is exceptional, as common breaches are avoided via the native system architecture, thus reducing costs while optimizing protection. These systems provide significant vertical scalability, supporting mixed workloads consisting of hundreds of applications, processing exceptionally high volume transactions and requirements under a single operating system. ClearPath environments support an extensive range of standard and de facto standard interfaces, allowing participation in distributed environments, including SOA implementations.

ClearPath Servers deliver leading business model options. With our Pay-for-Use business models based on metering technology, you pay only for the exact amount of resources you use, as you use them. Extra processing power – delivered with your system – is “always on” and available instantly.

With ClearPath Cloud: Development and Test – a unique Unisys enterprise class hosted public cloud, CIOs can optimize the allocation of their investments across their ClearPath application portfolio, gain additional flexibility and deliver accelerated functionality to their business. 

Through Specialty Engines for ClearPath mainframes, you can take advantage of the latest technology to deliver application-specific performance for Java, Message Queuing, Cryptography, web/web services and smartphone integration, supported by industry-leading security and resilience.
