JET - Technical Information

JET gives organizations using Unisys LINC
a way to move their systems from a proprietary environment to an open
systems platform in order to gain flexibility and cost-savings.

Jade Project Methodology.
The Key to Project Success.

LINC systems that can be converted include those running on any Unisys supported platform, including A Series, Clearpath, 2200, EAE and Unix systems.

Data can be converted from DMS II, RDMS, Oracle, and so on.

The target environment is the JADE software platform running under Windows, Red Hat Linux and SUSE Linux on any Intel-compatible hardware platform. In preferred relationships, support for other IBM hardware platforms is available on request.

The JADE software platform provides a comprehensive object-oriented development, runtime, and storage environment, with the ability to publish data in real-time to relational databases such as SQL Server and Oracle.

This case study analyses the performance of converted systems on various platforms compared with A Series.

"I am sorry that we did not convert to JADE sooner, as there was a substantial reduction in cost and a tremendous improvement in system performance. We now have more system abilities as opposed to LINC system restrictions."

"We saw the writing on the wall that we'd have to get rid of our mainframes because they cost too much to maintain. The challenge was to get off the mainframe and go to a less expensive implementation."

"The migration to JADE has enabled us to move our system into the 21st century while retaining our investment in Intellectual Property and knowledge."
