AcuConnect

Frustrated by bottlenecks? Tired of character-based screens on UNIX terminals? There comes a point in nearly every organization’s development when business requirements exceed computing resources. So how do you meet the demands of your changing business without spending a lot of money? AcuConnect is the answer a client/server solution that lets you distribute your resources for optimal performance and functionality.Product Highlights AcuConnect is a COBOL client/server solution that can be deployed in a distributed process-ing architecture or in a Thin Client architecture.In a distributed processing deployment, you can divide application processing among mul-tiple UNIX, Linux, and Windows machines for optimal performance. You can perform most of your processing on the client or most on the server, or you can divide the processing any way you wish.In a Thin Client architecture, only the user in-terface portion of your application runs on the client, a 32-bit Windows machine. The rest runs on a UNIX, Linux, VMS, or Windows server where data access is local. Because only user interface commands are passed to the client, network overhead is minimized.Key BenefitsImprove performanceReduce network management costsAlleviate software distribution concernsBuild a graphical front end for non-Windows applicationsExtend the life of older equipmentKey FeaturesAcuConnect is a versatile COBOL listener that lets you make the most efficient and strategic use of your existing computing re-sources. AcuConnect can be deployed in a Distributed Processing architecture or a Thin Client architecture.Thin Client ArchitectureThe Thin Client technology consists of three components:1.A small program on the Windows client called the ACUCOBOL-GT Thin Client (acuthin). The Thin client communicates with the application running on the server and handles the display of the user interface. Acuthin is available as an executable file, an Dynamic Link Library (DLL), or an ActiveX control (Web Thin client).Data SheetAcuConnectDistributed Processing Servers• UNIX, Linux, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012Clients• UNIX, Linux , Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012Thin Client Servers• UNIX, Linux, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012Clients• Windows® XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2012
