uLinga Nexus

AI Integration Gateway for HPE Nonstop Systems
Developed by Infrasoft, delivered and supported by TIC Software
TIC Software - Leading Modernization with AI

Introducing uLinga Nexus

TIC Software and Infrasoft have a longstanding partnership delivering integration solutions for HPE Nonstop. uLinga Nexus builds on that foundation: a modern, standards-based way to expose Nonstop applications and data through REST APIs and standard integration protocols, running natively on Nonstop, with support for AI-driven use cases.

What it is

A native Nonstop gateway that exposes existing applications through REST APIs and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the emerging standard for AI access to enterprise systems.

What it does

Lets AI models authenticate, discover available capabilities, and interact with Nonstop applications and data — with no changes to application logic.

Why uLinga Nexus

REST enablement of Nonstop applications

AI and external systems reach legacy applications over standard HTTP/JSON, with built-in conversion to the DDL or ISO8583 formats those applications expect.

Native to Nonstop

Runs as a Guardian process pair rather than via interim servers — no added single points of failure, and lower latency in AI-powered workflows.

A unique architectural approach

Multi-layer by design: MCP for AI clients, a transformation layer for JSON to DDL, and a backend layer for Pathway, Guardian, OSS and external endpoints.

Secure by design

Access is controlled at the authentication layer, supporting OAuth 2.0 and JWT token validation, with TLS encryption in transit.

uLinga Nexus architecture: AI client to MCP server, data transformation, and Nonstop back-ends
uLinga Nexus architecture: from AI client to Nonstop back-ends via MCP, OAuth 2.0 validation, and data transformation.
✓ Reach decades of transactional data without rewriting a line of it. uLinga Nexus removes the need for extensive custom development, so you can deploy AI-powered fraud detection, conversational interfaces and intelligent automation against live Nonstop data — without sacrificing reliability, security or performance.

Use cases

Use case What it enables
REST APIs for legacy applications Expose Pathway, Guardian IPC or TCP/IP applications as REST APIs for AI platforms, mobile apps and cloud services — without code changes.
AI-powered fraud detection AI agents analyze transaction patterns from real-time Nonstop data, detecting anomalies in mission-critical financial transactions.
Conversational AI interfaces Conversational AI triggers Nonstop business processes and retrieves data as naturally as calling any other API.
Intelligent automation AI-assisted decision support drawing on decades of transactional history held in Nonstop databases.

Benefits
