S/390 Partners in Development

IpServer® CICS Web Server/CGI

What is IpServer?

IpServer is to VSE 2.1+ what Microsoft's Internet Information Server is to NT and IBM's WebSphere is to OS/390. IpServer is the premier Web server for VSE, powering more native VSE Web sites and e-Business applications than any other solution.

Why do I need IpServer?

For VSE to become a viable server platform, like NT and OS390 it too requires a robust Web server environment, supported by knowledgable and experienced people dedicated to keeping pace with the rapidly changing technology of the Web. IpServer is just such an application. And just such a team supports it. Its robust functionality, dedicated support staff and low cost all work for you to insure world-class results at the lowest cost and with the least amount of effort.

What are Customers saying?

"After an in-depth evaluation of many other methods for WEB enabling our customers CICS applications, IpServer stood out as the clear choice. I encourage anyone interested in web enabling CICS to take a close look at this solution." Jerry Sorkin, Republic Service Bureau

"IpServer is the best solution we found for providing WEB access to our Mainframe data. The installation was a breeze and their support is excellent. IpServer is so economically priced that every Mainframe site should get a copy." Michael Lacy, Technical Support Manager, Fort Hays State U.

"I am tickled pink with the opportunity to use good old COBOL/CICS for the creation of state of the art GUI applications with colors, buttons, pull-down boxes, etc. As our marketing director puts it, we are teaching our mainframe to dance." Dominique Pfaff, Senior Programmer Analyst, Peralta Community Colleges
