Magic Software, a provider of mobile and cloud-enabled application and business integration platforms, has released uniPaaS 2.0, a new major enhancement of its uniPaaS application platform.

The uniPaaS 2.0 deployment platform is based on the .NET Framework and enables seamless migration of any legacy Magic application to .NET, claimed the company.

By providing complete and simple .NET integration, it enables developers to easily use a wide range of built-in, commercial, or third-party .NET services and controls as components in their applications, said the company.

Recently, the company had launched its new mobile offering for the mobilisation of core business applications on any smartphone, and its expansion into the Microsoft SharePoint ecosystem using the iBOLT integration platform.

The company said that the new capabilities of uniPaaS 2.0 enable developers and enterprises to develop tools in a highly productive metadata-driven development environment.

Enterprises could also simultaneously enhance their software offering with a rich, engaging, standardised and modern user interface, said the company.

The new uniPaaS 2.0 runtime engine for client/server and server-side applications uses controls from the Windows Forms .NET library as the GUI front-end to support a significantly improved user experience.

uniPaaS 2.0 provides a simple and gradual migration path from Client/Server applications to RIA deployment and provides new and improved RIA deployment features.

It also provides native mobile clients to fully support the development and deployment of mobile applications, said the company.

It added that although based on the .NET framework on Windows, uniPaaS 2.0 will continue to support native deployment on AIX, Solaris, Linux and Series I server platforms.

Magic Software CTO Eyal Pfeifel said, "Building on the success of previous versions of uniPaaS, and following the recent release of our new offerings for the development and deployment of mobile applications, we are maintaining our technological forward momentum with this significant release."

"The release of uniPaaS 2.0 is part of the continuing execution of our technology roadmap, which is driven by our ongoing commitment to meet and overcome the evolving challenges faced by our customers."
