We are pleased to announce the release of GCOS8 Net Express and GCOS8 Server Express, which complement the existing GCOS8 Mainframe Express solution for BULL GCOS8 mainframe customers.

GCOS8 Net Express is based on Net Express v4.0 from Micro Focus - the  leader in COBOL technology. The Net Express platform combines the same GCOS8 features as GCOS8 Mainframe Express with a COBOL development platform with focus on building and modernizing applications for client/server platforms and for the web.

GCOS8 Server Express is based on Server Express v2.2 from Micro Focus - the leader in COBOL technology. The Server Express platform combines the same GCOS8 features as GCOS8 Mainframe Express with a COBOL development platform for Linux and UNIX.

BULL GCOS8 mainframe customers may now use either GCOS8 Mainframe Express, GCOS8 Net Express or GCOS8 Server Express for maintenance and development of mainframe applications, as well as building new COBOL applications.

For migration/rehosting of GCOS8 mainframe application, either GCOS8 Mainframe Express, GCOS8 Net Express or GCOS8 Server Express may be used to compile application components for deployment within GCOS8 Rehosting Express.

For Linux and UNIX deployment, you can combine the powerful graphical features of GCOS8 Net Express running under Windows with GCOS8 Server Express running under Linux/UNIX.
