Secure and Standards-Based Microservices Server for the AS/400
ZCOM 2.0 Features and Benefits
Proactively Improve your Security Posture
Implement AES encryption or run ZCOM behind a reverse proxy that terminates SSL connections for secure operations, even on internal networks.
Get ahead of the curve and prepare for Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), an advanced approach to cybersecurity that enforces strict identity verification and access controls for every user and device accessing network resources, even on internal networks.
Native ILE Server
ZCOM 2.0 is a native ILE HTTP server designed to help you modernize your AS/400 applications. It provides a highly secure and standards-based microservices solution without dependencies on other installed software.
Seamless Integration
Our approach to application integration does not require wrappers or modifications to existing code. Support any AS/400 program written in any language, including OPM and ILE objects.
Developer Friendly
Your developers can use any HTTP client with which they are familiar, ZCOM supports them all. ZCOM uses strictly JSON for all requests and responses, allowing programmers to use familar data manipulation libraries and utilities.
Highly Customizable
ZCOM includes fine-grained configuration options, allowing you to specify authentication methods, define transactions and the IP addresses from which they can be sent, perform JSON-to-String and String-to-JSON mapping, detect and regenerate duplicate transactions, etc, all by using ZCOM configuration files.
Our Story
Originally, the AS/400 was quite difficult to integrate into a larger heterogeneous server infrastructure. Our original goal was to make this integration not just possible but far easier (ZCOM 1.0).
Of course times have changed. There are a multitude of options available now, some customers have even come up with their own solutions. But we feel the new challenge is not just to conitinue to make communciations with the AS/400 easy, but to do it using rigorous security measures (AES/SSL), common communications protocols (HTTP 1.1) and modern data representation standards (JSON).
ZCOM 2.0 represents our offering for a secure, easy, fast, and standardized way to communicate with one of the most popular, reliable and stable midrange systems in use today.
But we also find that customers always have the best ideas, so please reach out with any suggestions!
