MVsharp

MVsharp is an advanced modernization platform that converts legacy MultiValue (MV) database systems, such as UniVerse, UniData, jBASE and D3, into a fully managed .NET environment.

Businesses can migrate their existing applications without losing functionality while integrating with modern databases like SQL Server, Oracle and DB2. By supporting multiple programming languages within a single application, including MV BASIC, C#, Python and JavaScript, MVsharp lets developers enhance and extend legacy applications using contemporary technologies. Organizations retain their existing business logic while taking advantage of modern infrastructure, security and scalability.

MVsharp scales horizontally, so nodes can be added or removed in real time, and runs on both Windows and Linux. It supports SQL and NoSQL databases concurrently. By building on .NET, MVsharp improves performance and security and reduces the maintenance costs associated with legacy systems, protecting your investment in existing applications and expertise.
