“Kasten Chase Applied Research Limited…announced the
availability of Linux operating system support for its VersaPath
e-business Internet connectivity solution. The new software,
previously announced as part of the VersaPath 4.0 development
effort, will be available to all new and existing VersaPath
customers wishing to upgrade their existing systems to Linux.
VersaPath software enables businesses to utilize their existing
host-centric software applications to securely conduct business
over the Internet. Host-centric software applications are
applications that reside in mainframes, mid-range computers,
servers and other centralized computing environments. A significant
portion of corporate applications and data reside in mainframe
environments. In fact, according to Meta Group, an independent
research organization, more than 70% of corporate data still
resides in the mainframe environment. Because these applications
were not designed for use over the Internet, businesses that wish
to use them online require solutions such as VersaPath to enable
them to do so….”
“VersaPath includes the necessary data security solutions
required to do business on the Internet. End-to-end data encryption
and strong authentication ensure the protection and integrity of
competitive, mission critical and business sensitive data in an
e-business environment. VersaPath is a highly scalable solution,
appealing to organizations with between 500 and 40,000
employees.”
“Hyde continued: “The incorporation of Linux support further
enhances the VersaPath solution, extending its application to the
large number of e-business users migrating to Linux. We see the
addition of Linux support as significantly expanding the market
attractiveness of our VersaPath software for corporations deploying
e-business solutions.”
