  • 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.

    To download uniPaaS Jet, go to Magic’s website at www.magicsoftware.com.

    Integrate Virtual Tape to Automate Your Backups And Strengthen Your Ability To Recover From Cyber Attacks And Disasters

    With most IT departments stretched thin, finding something that can quickly free up IT time is definitely a bonus. That’s why it’s important to stop and take a look at integrating virtual tape into your backup and recovery. Virtual tape is one of those technologies where once you have it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. See a demo and get a $50 gift card.

    But what is it about using virtual tape that makes it so worthwhile? Why is it that so many IBM i shops are already using or considering using virtual tape for all or part of their backup and recovery systems?

    Virtual tape and virtual tape libraries offer a way to both simplify and strengthen backup and recovery operations. By incorporating virtual tape technology, automation of backups becomes possible resulting in hundreds of hours saved annually for IT departments and personnel.

    “We needed to find a replacement that would lower the maintenance cost and reduce complexity of our backup and recovery functions without a major disruption to our operations.” David Fray, Director of Enterprise Systems, ABC Financial

    LaserVault ViTL is a virtual tape and tape library solution developed specifically for use with IBM Power Systems (from AS/400 to iSeries to Power 9s). With ViTL you can:

    • Replace physical tape and tape libraries and eliminate associated delays
    • Automate backup operations, including the ability to purge or archive backups
    • Remotely manage your backups – no need to be onsite with your server
    • Save backups to a dedupe appliance and the cloud
    • Recover your data at lightspeed greatly improving your ability to recover from cyberattacks
    • And so much more

    Sign-up now to see a ViTL online demo and get a $50 Amazon e-gift card when the demo is complete as our way of saying thanks for your time. Plus when you sign-up you’ll receive a free facts comparison sheet on using virtual tape vs tape so you can compare the functionality for yourself.
