Magic provides a simple, gradual migration path from client/server applications to RIA deployment and offers mobile development solution for legacy apps.
Magic Software Enterprises Ltd., a provider of mobile and cloud-enabled application and business integration platforms, has announced the availability of uniPaaS 2.0, a major release of its uniPaaS application platform*. This announcement comes on the heels of the launch of Magic Software’s new mobile offering for the mobilization of core business applications on any smartphone, and its expansion into the Microsoft SharePoint ecosystem using the iBOLT integration platform.
The new capabilities of uniPaaS 2.0 enable developers and enterprises to develop solutions in a highly productive metadata-driven development environment, while enhancing their software offering with a rich, engaging, standardized and modern user interface.
The uniPaaS 2.0 deployment platform is based on the .NET Framework and enables seamless migration of any legacy Magic application to .NET with minimal effort, the company says. By providing complete and simple .NET integration, the platform enables developers to easily use a wide range of built-in, commercial, or third-party .NET services and controls as components in their applications. The new uniPaaS 2.0 runtime engine for client/server and server-side applications, which is integrated with the .NET framework, uses controls from the Windows Forms .NET library as the GUI front-end to support a significantly improved user experience.
uniPaaS 2.0 provides a simple and gradual migration path from client/server applications to RIA deployment and provides new and improved RIA deployment features. It also provides native mobile clients to fully support the development and deployment of mobile applications. Although based on the .NET framework on Windows, uniPaaS 2.0 will continue to support native deployment on AIX, Solaris, Linux, and IBM i server platforms.
“Building on the success of previous versions of uniPaaS, and following the recent release of our new offerings for the development and deployment of mobile applications, we are maintaining our technological forward momentum with this significant release,” said Eyal Pfeifel, CTO of Magic Software. “The release of uniPaaS 2.0 is part of the continuing execution of our technology roadmap, which is driven by our ongoing commitment to meet and overcome the evolving challenges faced by our customers.”
