Attachmate on Tuesday debuted Verastream Host Integrator 6.5, for accessing mainframe data and logic.

The product is geared to SOA integration. Featured is flexibility for Web-based user interfaces and support for 64-bit hardware and software platforms.

Verastream Host Integrator transforms legacy applications into SOA assets, exposing business proceses as Web services, XML, Java and .Net components that can be reused. No changes are required to mainframe application code, Attachmate said.

Microsoft Vista support is included in version 6.5. Also supported are the latest Java application infrastructure standards. End-to-end communications are encrypted between the client and the mainframe.

Verastream Host Integrator works within IBM mainframes as well as with IBM iSeries, Unix and HP OpenVMS and e3000 environments.
