Micro Focus to Extend COBOL to Amazon Cloud
Enables enterprise applications to run on EC2

Micro Focus has announced that Micro Focus will enable enterprise applications to run on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Platform. Micro Focus provides a secure, reliable approach that requires zero rewriting of code.

Support for Amazon EC2 is a part of Micro Focus' recently launched Enterprise Cloud Services. With Enterprise Cloud Services, customers can start their core, mission-critical applications in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud US or European availability zones. This allows customers to implement a cloud computing infrastructure while continuing to use the applications and systems they rely on to keep business running smoothly.

Micro Focus is supporting Amazon EC2 to increase the options customers have to reach the cloud and begin capitalizing on the cost savings associated with cloud computing. Enterprise Cloud Services uses an enterprise's existing encryption keys to secure mission critical data while in motion (over the network) or while stored on persistent cloud storage.

Micro Focus is also extending Enterprise Cloud Services across its ISV network, allowing ISVs to leverage the cloud as a new sales channel. Taking COBOL applications to the cloud and then using Micro Focus development tools to build a Web 2.0 and Software as a Service (SaaS) interface around them allows ISVs to make their systems available to a whole new group of users.
