RSOM is a collection of ActiveX components allowing client applications to send and receive messages from NonStop™ servers and provides ancillary services to convert between Windows® and NonStop™ data formats.

RSOM enables communication between client applications and Web servers running on Windows® systems and Pathway application servers running on NonStop™ Servers. In a three-tiered application architecture, any Web browser on any platform can access NonStop™- based data through an RSOM-enabled Web server.

RSOM Enterprise gives you the same high-performance, dependable, and scalable foundation for building e-business applications as RSOM but without requiring HP NonStop Remote Server Call/MP!

In a perfect world, you would be able to create your IT environment from the ground up, without having to consider any existing systems or environments. However, your business exists in the real world and, like most businesses, you have built up your IT system over time as your business has grown. You have made huge investments in HP NonStop™ servers that have become mission-critical repositories of knowledge that support your business operations. Organizations that do not plan for scalability and availability to meet business growth or the shift of critical business information from mainframe to network systems, risk the greatest impact on the bottom line: business downtime.

Now, enter the World Wide Web. The Internet has become the most popular computing platform to build and deploy your applications. Your business now demands a web presence that is not only global and continuous, but is also capable of servicing the maximum number of customers. One of the major advantages of Web-based applications is that they can become "self-deploying;" that is, a user navigates a browser to a site and instantly has the latest version "deployed" to the desktop.

How do you take advantage of this powerful tool without having to make a huge IT investment? How do you preserve your current development investment on your NonStop™ System? RSOM Enterprise, from Cornerstone Software, Inc., is your answer.

RSOM Enterprise combines the power of RSOM with the host portion of TDS. It allows you to develop new internet and intranet applications or deploy Web-based applications created using Transaction Delivery System® or HP NonStop™ Remote Server Call with one middleware application that will support existing Pathway applications. You can now migrate your applications with a less expensive and more effective alternative. Hence, you save money, time, and development effort migrating Pathway applications to a scalable, three-tier architecture.

Your competitive advantage:

• Integrates state-of-the-art Web technologies with legacy Pathway applications using component base engineering
• Quick and easy development of Web based front-ends to Pathway applications using RSOM in combination with ActiveX development tools like Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Active Server Pages
• Automatically converts PC-formatted data elements to NonStop™ server format so client applications work with existing Pathway servers without changes
• All application code is stored on the server eliminating the need to install or update client software on individual workstations

Performance

• Easy integration with state of the art Web technologies
• Rapid development of Internet / Intranet applications
• Simplified client application development with Active Message Objects
• Client deployment is simplified by using web-browsers to access applications
• Flexible environment for implementing multi-tier business applications
• Incremental scalability to meet growth demands

Optimization

"Our main reason for buying RSOM was performance and time. Other systems were non-responsive to inquiry needs. RSOM satisfied both performance and service."
