PowerServer
Deploy Your PowerBuilder Apps to the Cloud, Automatically.
Stronger security. Greater flexibility. Faster deployment.
Why Choose PowerServer?
Internet Access
Enables end users to access the existing PowerBuilder apps from Windows devices over the Internet. The apps look and work the same as before, supporting almost all PowerBuilder features. There is no need to retrain end users or compromise on functionality.
Web Security
With a cloud-native architecture, end users no longer have direct access to the database, and all SQLs execute safely on the .NET server behind the firewall. Data is securely consumed from the REST APIs over secure HTTPS protocol after being authenticated using token technology, such as OAuth.
Minimal Effort
PowerServer automatically converts almost every single existing PowerBuilder feature, including the PFC framework. Typically, a cloud conversion requires just weeks of work, and future maintenance requires only PowerBuilder skills.

PowerServer utilizes a cloud-native architecture rather than running multiple instances of a client/server application. Its cloud-native architecture is built on ASP.NET Core, has a pre-dominantly stateless design, is REST API-enabled, deploys natively to cloud platforms, and so on. As such, PowerServer offers much higher scalability, much stronger security, much greater interoperability, and eliminates the typical limitations and headaches of remote desktop/VDI.
While PowerServer executes data access logic on the middle tier using C# and ADO.NET, it is not a code conversion solution.
