Description: |
In today's increasingly Internet-driven business world, enterprises that rely exclusively on mainframe applications find themselves at a major disadvantage. Their mainframes lack the agility necessary to interoperate with systems, applications, and people over the World Wide Web. To meet those challenges, enterprises can completely overhaul their infrastructure and/or develop an entirely new set of applications. Both alternatives are not only expensive, they can take years of development and deployment time, putting organizations in a bind as they try to roll out new services and compete with other companies in Internet time.
A far more practical approach involves integration of applications across a common next-generation Web Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This provides the intelligent interworking capability necessary to interact with the conglomeration of network architectures comprising the Internet.
Enterprises with mainframe infrastructure that seek to leverage a services architecture must implement technologies that translate mainframe applications for use with Internet-based services before they can take advantage. This can be done with powerful new development tools that automate the process of generating the necessary Extensible Markup Language (XML) structures to support Web service technology.
GT Software's Ivory Web Services architecture provides a powerful answer to the equation. The Ivory solution enables development of a complete Web services architecture that allows legacy mainframe applications to communicate seamlessly with open systems platforms, including J2EE and .NET.
This comprehensive solution from GT Software consists of Ivory Studio and Ivory Server. Ivory Studio enables organizations to create and publish Web services from existing mainframe assets; Ivory Server provides high-performance Simple Objects Access Protocol (SOAP) processing for deployed Web services (SOAP defines conventions for invoking code using XML over HTTP). Combined, the GT Software product suite performs Web services and generates Web Services Description Language (WSDL) without the need to write new programs.
