Host Explorer

Published By: 

OpenText Corporation

Open Text HostExplorer provides the fastest and most reliable terminal emulation connection to enterprise hosts, including IBM iSeries, zSeries, UNIX and Linux systems. It uniquely offers both full-featured PC-to-host and web-to-host solutions in one software package.

HostExplorer provides corporations with an easy way of protecting their investment in legacy data while letting them benefit from the latest desktop and web-based technologies. HostExplorer can be deployed as a traditional PC-to-host emulator, or as a web-to-host emulation solution through a browser. In both cases, HostExplorer links people and information through TN3270E, TN5250E and Telnet (VT) applications.
