Product Overview
ClearPath ePortal is an end-to-end modernization solution that enables you to easily extend your existing ClearPath server applications to mobile devices, service-based clients, and the web. Using ClearPath ePortal, you can transform, simplify, and consolidate user and application interactions, refactor complex transaction sequences into a logical collection of services, or expose a subset of the application transactions to a targeted set of users.
ClearPath ePortal enables you to transform monolithic single-tiered ClearPath server applications into a modern multi-tiered architecture by using popular modern technologies. You can do this by leveraging your existing ClearPath server application assets without changing them; this eliminates risk or interruptions to your ongoing operations. Everything, from application interface capture, to web-tier application generation along with deployment and management to a highly scalable runtime environment are provided in a single, integrated solution. ClearPath ePortal consists of ePortal Developer and the ePortal Runtime Environment.
ePortal Developer
ePortal Developer is a Microsoft Visual Studio plug-in for building ePortal applications. It enables you to capture the interfaces of existing ClearPath server applications into a data source project that is used to create presentation projects for web, mobile, or web service applications. The flow of data between these newly designed applications and the existing ClearPath server application can also be orchestrated to provide additional processing and navigation capabilities when required.
ePortal Runtime Environment
ePortal Runtime Environment is a dedicated, secure runtime environment that hosts and manages ePortal applications. A browser-based management interface manages the runtime environment including application deployment, cluster management, software upgrades, security, and consolidated monitoring. The ePortal Runtime environment consists of a Manager Partition and one or more Web Partitions.

For ePortal Business and Enterprise systems, the ePortal Runtime Environment is the dedicated application specific "appliance" which runs the ePortal runtime software on Unisys provided platform hardware.
-
For ePortal Software Edition (SE), the ePortal Runtime Environment is the dedicated application specific environment that runs the ePortal runtime software on customer data center hypervisor. The hypervisor hosts a Manager Partition and one or more Web Partitions. The hypervisor host can be either Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESXi.
