Visual COBOL is next generation of COBOL development and deployment solutions. It brings the productivity of modern, industry-leading Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to COBOL, including the ability to deploy key business-critical COBOL applications to Windows, UNIX, Linux, .NET, JVM and the cloud.
Visual COBOL provides familiar, high-performance developer tools to address current business requirements. By combining rich tools with a modern language existing applications can be leveraged, enhanced, integrated with other business systems and deployed to cost-effective and flexible execution environments.
With Visual COBOL and the COBOL Server, the application remains in COBOL allowing the application provider to deploy to the platform most strategic for the business – Windows, UNIX, Linux, z/Linux, .NET, JVM or the cloud. The COBOL Server, in addition to providing support for native code deployment, now supports managed code deployment to .NET and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). COBOL Server supports both 32-bit and 64-bit execution modes providing even further deployment flexibility and choice. COBOL Server is part of the Visual COBOL product portfolio from Micro Focus which includes testing and developer productivity tools.
