Vital, sensitive and often indispensable data requires the utmost security when being accessed from external or internal locations. Fully compliant with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140, Host Gateway Server (HGS) offers a flexible solution to data protection with a mixture of encrypted and non-encrypted connections. Secure Socket Layer authentication and encryption affords secure connections when required, such as from systems outside the enterprise network. For connections not requiring encryption, HGS allows clear text messaging, as well.
Host Gateway Server gives enterprises the ability to provide secure connections to and from Unisys MCP or OS 2200 mainframes without the expense, complexity and/or user training issues of a typical VPN solution
Host Gateway Server can support multiple application client types, from the feature-rich eXpress Enterprise terminal emulator to the lightweight browser-based client. Applications developed with eQuate fit flawlessly within the HGS framework. The support of existing terminal emulators permits the enterprise to leverage its current investment in terminal emulation software.

Easy to Administer
Host Gateway Server has a low total cost of ownership. Utilizing Microsoft’s one-touch deployment methodology for the administration tools and ClickOnce technology for browser-based clients, as well as centralized configuration of the client connectivity options, makes Host Gateway Server simple to maintain.
Flexible Security
Host Gateway Server has the ability to accept a mixture of encrypted and non-encrypted connections. This feature allows for secure connections when required, such as from systems outside of the enterprise network, and clear text connections when encryption is not required.
Easy to Configure
There is no need to go to the server to do configuration because all configuration actions may be done remotely. Host Gateway Server offers the same easy-to-configure host connectivity as found in the eXpress emulators.
