Access to Legacy Host Applications

IGEL Universal Desktop solutions offer not only efficient access to server-based applications and desktops but also to legacy host systems. Due to its efficiency and security, this original form of server-based computing (SBC) is still widely used in many business sectors such as commerce, production, transport and logistics. IGEL offers the following ways to directly access legacy host applications:


By means of the native IBM 5250 client for IBM Power Systems (AS/400, iSeries and System i)


By means of terminal emulation using the integrated Ericom PowerTerm software, such as for IBM 3270 and 5250, DEC Dorio / VT100, etc.

Support from IGEL Software and Hardware

All IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients and IGEL’s Universal Desktop Converter (UDC) software allow access to legacy host applications from the ‘Standard’ firmware package.
