Specialty Engines in actionModernization without application change

University of Washington (JProcessor)Replacing a hybrid XML processing application with one that runs entirely on its ClearPath system helped the university speed the exchange of student loan information with the Department of Education – and enabled it to do so in a much more secure, reliable, and straightforward manner.

VF Grace (ClearPath ePortal)This company sells to retailers who needed to access the catalogs and prices online. The existing online transactions are exposed as browser interfaces through ePortal and enhanced to incorporate pictures from another source. Support has been moved to iPhone.


Specialty Engines in actionModernization without application change

CEDAE (Companhia Estadual de Águas e Estogos) (ePortal)Worlds largest water authority (9.5M subscribers) -- provides a very modern method of paying a water bill – using an iPhone with a bar code to pay the bill via an ATM.

LabCorp (QProcessor)Using MQ to deliver test results to large clients (like EDI) and other platforms, to dress up reports and add PDF’s for some of the tests. HIPAA audit messages are delivered to an archive system to comply with Federal regulations. Specimens are routed via MQ to different stations in the labs where automated testing is performed on specimens.

Specialty Engine Direction

• Specialty Engine Scalability– Much higher capacity and performance (e.g. new ClearPath

ePortal just introduced)

– Ability to add more Specialty Engines to a ClearPath platform

• Expanded functionality– Wider range of device support (e.g. ePortal support for iPad,

Android and Blackberry)

– New JProcessor and QProcessor software releases/functions

• Enhanced EAE and AB Suite support• Higher availability profile (e.g. QProcessor clustering,

Libra HA model support for ePortal and JProcessor)• Additional Open Source solutions

ClearPath Strategic Direction and Technology Futures

Jim ThompsonVP, ClearPath EngineeringTechnology, Consulting & Integration Solutions

Questions

• What is the strategy to extend ClearPath into the future?

• What is NextGen and what are it’s attributes?

• What kind of progress is being made?

• What kind of investments are being made?


ClearPath Strategy

Our strategy for ClearPath is simple:

Preserve

Defend

Extend

Retain all the attributes that make ClearPath the best choice for mission-critical computing Performance, availability, security, data integrity

Keep pace with evolving industry standards

Add new capabilities New methods of delivering ClearPath attributes Broader range of offerings Additional solutions

Grow Expand use of Clearpath in Unisys Solutions


Standing Behind Our Commitment

“We remain dedicated to sustaining ClearPath innovation, so that clients can continue to benefit from their solution investments. We envision ClearPath as a prominent cornerstone of our technology portfolio for at least the next 15 years, through the first quarter of this new century, which is as far out as we can see today.”

Dominick Cavuoto President, Technology, Consulting and Integration

Solutions, Unisys Corporation


ClearPath Long-Term Challenges

• Technology

– Continued alignment with technology trends

• Industry-standard multi-core chips, not proprietary ISA’s

– Performance

• Delivering higher performing systems on industry standard hardware

– Interoperability with increasingly complex computing environments

• Services-based, web-centric deployments, mobile devices

• Demographic Realities

– Work force patterns and realities


ClearPath Key Tactics

Apply advanced software technology to ClearPath

To continue meeting customer needs To make it even more competitive for new opportunities

Move to industry-standard platforms

Already done for low-end and mid-range systems

Enhance the architecture to improve performance

Integrate ClearPath with contemporary computing environments

Broaden the range of ClearPath offerings

Broaden the portfolio of ClearPath solutions


ClearPath Technologies

Key technologies

Functional partitioning Intra-system virtualization Acceleration Integration

Outcome

Improved performance Additional capabilities Seamless integration into

today’s computing environments

Simpler configuration and management


ClearPath: Functional Partitioning

Why? More performance through parallelism, native x86 execution Expanded ClearPath capabilities using existing code

A fancy term for “split it into pieces”

Future I/O and network processors Language and application processors

Already happening through Specialty Engines JProcessor: Java processor QProcessor: Message Queue processor ePortal: Web browser/Web services front end


ClearPath: Intra-System Virtualization

A fancy term for “replace Specialty Engines with VMs”

Exploit the huge number of cores available in new x86 systems

Key technology: Unisys s-Par (secure partitioning)

Not a general purpose hypervisor Focuses on secure partitions at the socket/core/IO slot level Provides guaranteed performance, security, and error containment Consolidates multiple separate pieces into one system

Will support both MCP and OS 2200


ClearPath: Acceleration

#1: emulate faster Code unrolling, on-the-fly optimization, static translation, etc

#2: use native code by decomposition or rewrite I/O and network subsystems Language- and application-specific processors

#3: use native code by binary translation or recompilation Major subsystems User applications

As ClearPath is functionally partitioned, we can speed up different parts with different techniques


ClearPath: Integration

Integrate

ClearPath into

contemporary

computing

structures and

practices

SOA: middleware interfaces to and from ClearPath

Development Options: JProcessor - run native Java applications inside ClearPath; PHP and other scripting languages

Ease of Management: Contemporary Management Frameworks

Development Tools:Eclipse-graphical IDE for ClearPath

ePortal: Web interface and Web service front ends for green-screen applications
