Clear. Path Road Show Clear. Path e. Portal Developer Demonstration Clear. Path Modernization

What you will learn in this module • Clear. Path e. Portal is an end-to-end, integrated solution for extending Clear. Path applications onto the Internet, wireless/mobile devices and SOA (web services) environments • This demonstration will show to use the e. Portal Developer to easily: – Modernize an existing terminal application for the web – Extend the generated application to support i. Phone and SOA clients

Why is this important? How can it help? • Rapid, in-place application modernization can provide a powerful opportunity to add agility to Clear. Path applications • Adding agility to Clear. Path applications can help your organization be more productive and more responsive to critical business needs • The use of industry-standard tools and the high degree of automation means that you can convert, deploy, and maintain applications – in less time – with less risk – and with far less technical knowledge

Our strategy • Combine the myriad of technologies, connectors, and tools necessary to modernize and deploy application interfaces into a complete and easy-to-use package • Standardize the development environment on an industrystandard tool (Visual Studio) and provide a high degree of automation • Create a deployment platform that is robust, scalable, and has high RAS characteristics • Provide application and environment monitoring, management, and maintenance that is simple, flexible, and highly automated

Clear. Path e. Portal Major Components • e. Portal Developer – Microsoft Visual Studio plug-in for building solutions • e. Portal Runtime Platform – Dedicated, application-specific, “appliance” for runtime deployment – e. Portal Manager • Manages applications and runtime environment – Hardware configuration, application deployment, software upgrades, security, consolidated monitoring, etc.

e. Portal Developer • Microsoft Visual Studio plug-in • Automatic web, mobile and web services application generation • Leverages Visual Studio World-Class development capabilities

e. Portal Developer Orchestration • Orchestrate client communication with Clear. Path applications • Visual editor for orchestration • Use to define custom web, mobile and web services interfaces Page 7

Clear. Path e. Portal Enterprise • Enterprise-class blade platform • Fully redundant • Preconfigured blade “appliances” • Pre-configured for optimal performance and security • Software centrally maintained and loaded

e. Portal Business Entry/mid-level rackmountable platform • Virtualized e. Portal Enterprise blade platform • Max four virtualized Web PMs • 1 -4 virtual servers • ~1000 users/2 k transactions/minute)

Management Environment • Point-and-click browserbased configuration and management • Point-and-click deployment • Software deployment and updates w/minimal application downtime • Consolidated monitoring

Demonstration Overview • Using Microsoft Visual Studio we will: – Capture selected screens from the existing application – Generate new presentations for the application – Stage and deploy the applications
