ClearPath OS 2200
ClearPath Dorado Series
Accelerate to a Real-Time Infrastructure
Building a Real-Time Infrastructure (RTI) is a process. It’s a journey toward the place that you really want to be. Moving toward an RTI – and accelerating the pace – doesn’t mean throwing away what you have and starting again from scratch. It starts by looking at where you are today and takes your legacy systems to places you never dreamed of before. You can leverage the investments you’ve already made in your Unisys ClearPath applications to create an RTI delivering true IT agility.
The secure, robust and agile ClearPath Dorado Series servers are the ideal platforms for building an RTI. And, they’re also ideal for Java and Java EE applications. Dorado Servers offer both the utmost security and highest service levels for those who want to run Java-based, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications but are not comfortable deploying their core business applications on UNIX, Windows, or Linux.

And, they offer an ideal infrastructure for Unisys 3D Blueprinting-based solutions, enabling your IT organization to assemble flexible, composite applications that are tightly aligned with your critical business processes. And then they stay aligned, even while changing at the speed of marketplace dynamics.
New Next-Generation OS 2200 Servers: Dorado 400 Series
The ClearPath Dorado 400 Series is the first Dorado family of servers based on the ClearPath Next-Generation Server Architecture. These entry-level servers run the OS 2200 operating system on Intel® processors. At the same time, they deliver the ClearPath attributes you expect – including high levels of reliability, availability, and security.
Representing the first phase in our transition to the Next-Generation Server Architecture, this server is the first milestone in the Next-Generation evolution that will ultimately deliver a virtualized environment running ClearPath OS 2200, ClearPath MCP, Windows and Linux within one physical partition.
The Dorado 400 Series is an ideal platform for smaller OS 2200 applications, development, and test environments.
The Dorado Model 430 is a metered server with Pay-for-Use business models. The Dorado Model 420 is not metered and features traditional licensing models.
