Consolidate Terminal Emulators

If you consolidate terminal emulators with PASSPORT, you can realize dramatic savings and significant benefits in the total cost of ownership, including:

• Reduced IT administration and help desk support - Using a single vendor makes for easier management and support. The consolidation process can be used to secure and standardize on functions that are available to users across your organization.
• Reduced license costs – Our license costs will introduce significant savings when compared to existing terminal emulation products. Typical reductions are between 50% and 80% of your existing terminal emulation license and maintenance payments.
• Flexible licensing plans and simple license compliancy – if you’ve been asked to audit your terminal emulation licenses for compliancy recently, talk to us to see how our concurrent, enterprise and multiple product licensing options can remove the need for this burdensome administrative overhead and drastically reduce costs by paying only for what you use.
• Multi-host access – PASSPORT offers access to legacy applications found on IBM mainframe (TN3270), IBM AS/400 (TN5250), UNIX (VT, SCO ANSI, WYSE) host systems
• Easy migration – Our PASSPORT suite of products can be installed alongside your existing terminal emulators without conflict. Migration to PASSPORT can be achieved at a pace to suit your business needs. We can even arrange for you to only pay Zephyr upon completion of the switch or upon expiration of your existing maintenance.
• Full technical support, macro conversion and assistance – we provide full access to our technical support team and assistance in converting existing emulator settings and macros. Often we have a tool to do this automatically, and, always we have the experience.
• API compatibility – PASSPORT is fully compatible with existing HLLAPI applications. PASSPORT also includes an Attachmate-compatible Object API that lets you reuse existing screen-scraping applications written for Attachmate EXTRA!®. In most cases, existing screen-scraping applications can be used 'as-is' with Zephyr terminal emulation software.
• Certified for Windows Vista – PASSPORT PC to Host® is Certified for Windows Vista, and with our subscription licensing program, you will always be entitled to working software under your current Windows OS, including Windows 7.
• Security - PASSPORT has a host of internal security options for both the terminal emulation and file transfer clients. SSL/TLS, SSH-2, FIPS 140-2 compliance are just a sample.
• Easy deployment – Deployment can be via MSI, SMS, Citrix, Windows Terminal Server and most virtual servers. PASSPORT Web to Host® can be distributed via any web server, be it Windows IIS or IBM WebSphere®.
