Run VMS / OpenVMS Applications in Private Cloud, Public Cloud, Hybrid Cloud, DEC VTxxx Terminal Emulator in a Web Browser

Gate One will allow your to enhance your users experience by providing VT52, VT100, VT220, VT320, VT420, VT510, VT520, VT525 enhanced VT emulation in a standard HTML5 web browser.

Gate One™ is a web-based Terminal Emulator and SSH client that brings the power of the command line to the web. It requires no browser plugins and is built on top of a powerful plugin system that allows every aspect of its appearance and functionality to be customized.

Gate One will allow you to modernize your VS application and also provide a SECURE gateway to your Private, Public or Hybrid VS cloud solution.

By providing seamless graphic injection into the VT character stream, your character cell applications take on a modern, GUI, web application look and feel.

Any JPEG can be injected into the stream and Gate one will recognize the JPEG headers and display the graphics. Fir example, $ COPY mylogo.jpg TT: will inject your companies logo into the VT Emulator.

When VSI release VMS on an x86 platform running on a standard virtualization engine, you will (hopefully) be able to host your VMS server on AWS (Amazon Web Services) and RackSpace - private, public or hybrid cloud. gate One will enable you to access your VMS system for maintenance and application on any HTML5 web browser - Laptop, tablet, phone.

Multi-User and Multi-Session

A single Gate One server can handle thousands of users and each user can have as many open terminals as needed.

Multi-Auth and Single Sign-On Ready

Gate One supports Single Sign-On (SSO) with Kerberos and Active Directory. It also supports Anonymous, PAM, Google, and it's own API-based authentication methods (for pass-through authentication when embedding).

Extendable Terminal Emulation

built-in terminal emulator supports the following emulation types:

Embeddable and Unrestricted

Unlike traditional web-based applications Gate One can be running on one server while being embedded into another--even from different domains. It can do this thanks to the power of WebSockets which don't have the cross-origin limitations of technologies such as AJAX.

Resume Sessions From Anywhere

Network disruptions are no problem. You can completely close your browser and pick up where you left off from anywhere; even from a different computer.

Copy & Paste

The number of web-based applications that don't work properly with copy & paste is astounding. Gate One doesn't just do copy & paste; it works so well you won't have to think about it.

No Browser Plug-Ins

You don't need Flash, Java, or ActiveX thanks to the power of HTML5. All you need is a modern browser. It even works in Internet Explorer.

Terminal Rewind

Have you ever wished you could go back in time with your terminal session to see what was on the screen a moment ago? With Gate One you can: The Playback plugin provides the ability to rewind your terminal session on-demand just like a video without having to open a log file.

Automation and Scripting

Built on top of a powerful plugin architecture that enables your business to add or enhance nearly anything. Adding custom capabilities is as simple as jotting down a few instructions and putting them in the right place. Plugins can be written in any combination of Python, JavaScript, and CSS.

Proven Security and Encryption

Supports SSL and TLS encryption out of the box and you'll never have to worry about it falling behind thanks to the high level of abstraction. Upgrade OpenSSL and you'll have upgraded Gate One right along with it. You won't even have to re-install or recompile anything.

Logging and Playback of User Sessions

Central to Gate One is its logging capabilities: If it isn't a keystroke it will be recorded by default. Logs can be viewed flat (printable) or played back in real-time like a video. Users can access their own logs and export them to self-contained HTML playback files. You can even copy & paste out of them (something you can't do with a video). Of course, Gate One also supports logging to syslog (local or remote).

Open Source & Rock Solid

Open source and very popular. Providing the ultimate combination of trustworthiness and security.

Terminals of Any Size

Some web-based terminals are oddly restricted to terminal sizes of 24x80 or 27x132. Gate One has no such limitation: It automatically calculates how many rows and columns will fit within your browser; even when you resize the window. Of course, if you need it this behavior can be overridden to set whatever number of rows and columns you desire.

Run Any Terminal Application

By default Gate One acts as a powerful SSH (and telnet) client but you can run any terminal application you want. Run your own software, nethack, lynx, vim, whatever. Gate One is application agnostic

Display Images, PDFs, and More

Gate One is unique in its ability to display images and PDFs inline within terminals. You can literally type 'cat image.png' and Gate One will display it in your terminal. It isn't limited to the 'cat' command either: Send whatever you want to standard output and Gate One will automatically detect and display it for you. It even works with PDFs and support for additional file types is easy to add.

Fast, Portable and Efficient

Gate One is currently running some of the world's fastest supercomputers while at the same time it's shipping on thousands of tiny embedded devices. If you don't include the extensive documentation Gate One is only about 5 megabytes

Make Down Time History

When run with 'dtach' support enabled, the daemon can be stopped & started without users losing their connected sessions. This means that when you upgrade Gate One your users will face at most 5 seconds of down time when their browsers are forced to reconnect; they can pick up right where they left off.

IPv6 Support

IPv6 Support. From listening on IPv6 addresses to making outbound IPv6 connections. Even the Conveniences plugin supports IPv6: Displayed IPv6 addresses become links that perform DNS lookups when clicked.
