New Java Dedicated Processor Offerings

Dedicated Java Processors

• Highly costeffective avenue for Java modernization – Price positioned against SUN and Oracle

• Efficient communication between Java and OS 2200 applications within a single partition

• IPs can be dedicated to Java processing – Designates a subset of the IPs (18) in a partition to run only work initiated in the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

– The Java IPs run at their full performance level, even on software controlled performance systems

• Dynamically controllable via console keyin or SPO script within the constraints of your licensing

• Only change for an existing workload (BIS/EAE/GP/SDK) with enough IP performance is the Image Enabler

ClearPath Software Release Strategy Adjustments

ClearPath Software Release Strategy Current Situation • Increasing demands for business agility and 7x24 availability of IT infrastructures

• Some ClearPath customers skip major (x.0) releases to reduce the cost and impact of migrating to new releases.

Why make some adjustments? • Enable customers to continue to take advantage of new software products and features.

• Reduce the costs associated with migrating to new major (x.0) software releases.

• Increase customer flexibility and control when introducing new functionality into the IT infrastructure.

ClearPath Software Release Strategy

What’s not changing • Unisys will continue to support interim (x.1, x.2, and so on) software releases for as long as the underlying major (x.0) release is supported.

• Unisys will continuously deliver new software products and features each year between major releases via – Interim (x.1, x.2) releases – Independent releases – Downloadable interim corrections
