Secure, browser-based, web-to-host connectivity

Any organization that manages users in a wide geographical area should consider using axes for their Web-to-host access needs. axes provides users with secure access to any host over the Internet, Intranet or Extranet. axes serves host applications through a Web-browser exploiting the latest, open and industry sponsored World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Internet-standards. There is no download from the server to install on the client.

axes provides access to host based applications via a Web browser interface. System administrators need only to install the solution once on a server, centrally configure the user and group set-ups, enabling users to access their host-based applications in a variety of styles and languages, with a click of the mouse via their Web browser. Using a browser, users simply access a URL-eliminating the need to install software and user configurations on individual desktops. When a new version is released, only the central server needs to be updated. All users automatically get latest release benefits the next time they access their host-based applications, no matter where they are located.

Full security for browser-based sessions

axes offers a unique Web-to-host solution that supports built-in security. It uses the Internet-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for data encryption to ensure that all axes sessions are secure. Users are therefore able to work in a safe and protected environment while utilizing any IP network (public or private).

axes provides full security using SSL encryption algorithms. With axes, client session shadowing enables the system administrator to monitor and provide immediate assistance to any remote/mobile user on-line and in real-time.

Immediate web-enablement

axes is a browser-based, Web-to-host connectivity solution, which can be deployed immediately and can also be customized. The output sent to a client's device is a programmable Dynamic HTML/XML/CSS/XLS document set, exposing methods, events and properties to client-side script (DHTML). This allows any adaptations and modifications made to a host-based application to be reflected in the resulting Web application dynamically.

Graphical application interface

axes has been designed to protect and leverage your investment in proven, robust and functional host-based applications. Thousands of host-based business applications have evolved through significant investment, development and refinement. They provide the strong, scalable, proven foundation businesses continue to rely on.

axes provides a new Web look and feel for host applications. No programming is required and further customization is possible.

axes provides a dynamic real-time environment for modernizing, adapting and extending existing host-based applications. axes unique Dynamic server architecture works in real-time providing order-of-magnitude cost savings compared to alternative application modernization strategies, without requiring compiling, programming or changes to any existing host-based application.

Integrate, extend and re-engineer
  • Graphically Web-enable host-based applications, eliminating client deployment cost while utilizing existing infrastructure
  • Integrate Web-based applications with other desktop, network and browser based applications
  • Extend Web-based applications with integrated support for methods, events and properties via client-side scripts
  • Re-engineer existing host-based applications to eliminate redundancy and improve workflow

All axes function is implemented instantly. aXesTS dynamic server architecture means you can add a business process to an existing host-based application and implement it instantly, without disruption to users. The ability to manage change instantly, significantly reducing costs and improving responsiveness is among the unique business benefits provided by axes.

axes includes full support for integrated terminal emulation, providing all users with a choice of interface style, allowing organizations to embrace the graphical Internet progressively. Just as 3GLs remain important and vital, so too do terminal devices. In many cases, terminal technology remains an important infrastructure requirement with incumbent cost effectiveness already well established. axes provides the integrated solution that supports your existing infrastructure and interface requirements.

Ease of Use

Host access in axes is through the Browser, thus the end user is already familiar with the interface being used to access the host. The Browser has become the universal interface to all types of applications, hence there is little or no training required to get the end user up and running. Both training and support costs are minimized.

Centralized Management and Administration

axes is centrally installed and configured by the system administrator for all users or groups of users. Centralized configuration and administration saves time, reduces costs and increases worker and system efficiency. aXesTS architecture provides unlimited scalability for any size business.

  • Monitor the entire system remotely, determining which sessions are open and who has current access to what applications
  • Remotely manage users, groups and sessions; create a custom session login script; create a custom session keyboard mapping
  • Restrict users to pre-configured sessions
  • Increase security by allowing users to login from predefined IP addresses only
Single point (true zero-client) installation

axes features single point (true zero-client) installation and centralized management, which gives the administrator a high level of control and reduces the organization’s total cost of ownership (TCO).

Single point (zero-client) installation not only minimizes user training and support costs, but Web-to-host technology minimizes the costs associated with software distribution, installation and configuration. The core of the aXesTS Web-to-host solution is a server-based component that includes host access authorization information, connection parameters, administrative and monitoring tools and configuration data for sessions and users.

axes requires nothing to be physically loaded on client workstations by the system administrator. Web-to-host technology does away with the necessity of anyone visiting individual machines to load and configure host access software. Necessary software and configuration data are resident on the Web-to-host server and becomes available to end-users when the Browser is directed to the appropriate address on the server. Additionally, Browser-based host access provides organizations with the capability of granting host access to anyone, anywhere in the world, via the Internet.

Only with technology that can be interfaced by any user via the universal Web Browser and centrally controlled on the Web-to-host server, is open access to enterprise information even possible.
