ClearPath OS 2200 ClearPath Dorado Servers

Accelerate to a Real-Time Infrastructure

Building a Real-Time Infrastructure (RTI) is a process. It’s a journey toward the place that you really want to be. Moving toward an RTI – and accelerating the pace – doesn’t mean throwing away what you have and starting again from scratch. It starts by looking at where you are today and takes your legacy systems to places you never dreamed of before. You can leverage the investments you’ve already made in your Unisys ClearPath applications to create an RTI delivering true IT agility.  

The secure, robust and agile ClearPath Dorado Servers are the ideal platforms for building an RTI. And they’re also ideal for Java and Java EE applications. Dorado Servers offer both the utmost security and highest service levels for those who want to run Java-based, service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications but are not comfortable deploying their core business applications on UNIX, Windows, or Linux.   

Gain Business Agility

Unisys continues to increase the agility of its ClearPath Dorado mainframes in a variety of ways:

• Diverse computing workloads
• Flexible buying models
• Popular software standards
• Secure Java environments
• Industry-standard tools, applications, and skill sets
• Automated processes and operations
• Policy-based resource management
• SOA-based business connectivity

All to give you the agility you need to rapidly accommodate marketplace changes and deliver results you can measure in terms of real economic impact.

Why do our Dorado Servers offer you the ideal IT infrastructure, one that helps you achieve the highest levels of business agility? Because ClearPath Servers are the world's most versatile servers. And, they offer an ideal infrastructure for Unisys 3D Blueprinting solutions, enabling your IT organization to assemble flexible, composite applications that are tightly aligned with your critical business processes. And then they stay aligned, even while changing at the speed of marketplace dynamics.

New Next-Generation OS 2200 Servers
