Measuring Innovation

The Global Innovation Index ranks 125 countries/economies across the world in terms of their innovation capabilities and results. The Report highlights those countries that achieve more innovation outputs surmounting weaknesses from the input side – the efficient innovators – and those that lag behind in fulfilling their innovation potential.

Interconnect

“System” management

Application environment

File system(s)

Database(s)

Operating System

Flexible interconnect fabric between processing resources, delivering elasticity, scalability and high availability.

“Platform” comprised of multiple processor and I/O cells.

Single pane of glass across heterogeneous operating environments.

Human interface provides intuitive management support

Contemporary development across heterogeneous operating environments for diverse programming resources.

Focus on open development tools, languages and middleware

File system consistent with ClearPath attributes while concurrently supporting other operating environments.

Enables heterogeneous application solutions with file consistency.

Support for ClearPath data bases as well as industry-standard data bases, across multiple processing profiles.

New ClearPath data bases will expand solution opportunities – e.g. Relational DB and others

Extending ClearPath Mission-Critical attributes across multiple operating environments, transparently.

s-Par plus the ClearPath attribute layer essentially create a new OS.

ClearPath Forward! Data Foundation Top-level Goals

Preserve customer investment in existing ClearPath application systems

– From application perspective – But not necessarily underlying system components

Bring advantages of modern search engine technologies and big-data capabilities to ClearPath

– For performance, scalability, and resiliency

Speed adoption of new data models and implementation techniques into ClearPath family

– More configurational, less programmatic


Data Technology Landscape Is Rapidly Evolving

Relational hegemony is over – Disruptive data technologies abound – Open source, new data models, NoSQL systems – One size no longer fits all

Focus expanded from write- to read-intensive applications Old constraints are falling away

– Big memory, big storage, big CPU farms, big interconnect – Virtual machines everywhere – New applications with massive data volumes (social networking, BI) – Less restrictive transaction models promote scalability

Read-Intensive Technologies Are Driving Change

These guys are busily re-inventing the data business! Search engine technologies

– Key-value, metadata agnostic store – “data atoms” – Map/Reduce – programming pattern for data access – Development led by Google engineering

• Distributed file system with single in-memory master • Many shared-nothing “chunk” nodes • Highly fault tolerant, assumes regular node failures

– Hadoop: open-source version of Google capabilities • Proven: and many others

– Techniques used in newer OLTP engines

ClearPath Innovation A story of people and technology


Innovation with a purpose

• Contemporary technology, supporting multiple operating environments including OS2200, MCP, Windows and Linux and positioning ClearPath Forward! as the deployment platform of choice.

• Enterprise-class attributes extended to non ClearPath environments. • Wide array of development technologies including Java, C++, COBOL,

BIS, AB Suite, EAE, .Net, and more. • “Single pane of glass” management across all supported operating

environments. • An elastic cloud like environment that can combine multiple ClearPath

Forward! platforms into a single entity that allows clients to transparently provision hardware and software resources where ans when required.

• Contemporary, modernization enablement technology delivering real business value.


Preparing for ClearPath Forward!

• Deploy Specialty Engines

• Invest in 4100 class servers as test environments

• Update to current software levels

• Identify enterprise applications that could benefit from the architecture


State of the Art

• Unisys continues to define state of the art – The only common infrastructure that supports traditional

‘mainframe’ attributes with commodity operating environments on a single hardware architecture.

– While the competition continues to milk proprietary designs, we choose to advance state of the art in enterprise computing.

• Innovation never ends – In technology – In products – In people

• Invention is in our DNA – We continue to invent what the world consumes
