Magic Offers Free Version of uniPaaS

March 22, 2011 Alex Woodie

Magic Software took the plunge into free software last week when it announced uniPaaS Jet, a single-user version of its tool for developing Web applications. While Magic still supports deployment on the IBM i platform, the company is clearly looking to build name recognition among the new generation of mobile and cloud app developers with the launch of uniPaaS Jet.

uniPaaS is Magic’s flagship application development tool for creating so-called rich Internet applications (RIAs), which deliver the richness of regular Windows applications but within the construct of a Web browser. The product, which debuted as G5 in 2008, uses a high-level, metadata-driven development methodology that borrows heavily from the rapid application development (RAD) expertise of Magic’s old eDeveloper product, which you will remember targeted Windows and System i platforms. uniPaaS offers a customizable .NET-based rich client, as well as options for mobile clients and support for cloud deployments, via the software as a service (SaaS) delivery method.

With the launch of uniPaaS Jet, Magic is giving away a single-user edition of the software that can be freely used for development and deployment purposes. The idea behind the new offering is to give developers “the chance to explore their business ideas immediately, and to take advantage of new opportunities as their business grows,” states Magic CTO Eyal Pfeifel.

While uniPaaS Jet will allow a developer to quickly scope out a possible new application, there are restrictions on its use. Magic is hoping some of the free versions of uniPaaS Jet turn into paid licenses for the full version of the product.

Although the general availability of uniPaaS Jet was announced only last week, the company has been talking about uniPaaS Jet for several months, and apparently it is already being used by “thousands of developers,” according to Magic. Magic also plans to include a copy of uniPaaS Jet with all paid licenses of the software.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
