What Infrasoft Pty Limited does

Infrasoft Pty Limited is an Australian privately-held software company, founded in 2009, that specializes in high-availability integration, modernization, and AI-enablement middleware for the HPE NonStop server platform. Its core offering is the uLinga product suite, a portfolio of natively compiled C-based middleware that runs as Guardian process pairs on NonStop systems — products include uLinga for Kafka (Apache Kafka streaming integration), uLinga Nexus (an AI/MCP gateway launched February 2026), uLinga for CICS/IMS (mainframe SNA-to-TCP/IP modernization), uLinga for Enterprise Extender/DLSw (SNA over IP), uLinga for X.25 (XOT), and uLinga Gateway (multi-protocol gateway). Common capabilities include uLinga Data Transformation (binary/JSON/ISO8583/AVRO conversion), uLinga Security (TLS 1.3 with post-quantum cryptography), and WebCon (HTML5-based configuration UI). A key technical differentiator is the absence of Java dependencies, allowing direct integration with NonStop Guardian processes and avoiding intermediate databases.

The company serves enterprise customers in financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, and food service distribution — verticals where mission-critical NonStop systems process high transaction volumes. Named customers include US Foods, Change Healthcare (now Optum/UnitedHealth Group), and a large bank that deployed uLinga for CICS Transaction Routing in 2013. The business model is built on perpetual software licenses with annual maintenance contracts, supplemented by professional services. Distribution is delivered through channel partners — comForte GmbH (joint development since 2009), TIC Software (North American reseller), NTI (October 2024 partnership for DRNet/Unified for Kafka), and HPE — with direct enterprise sales engagement for technical presentations and proof-of-concepts.

Go-to-market leverages technical content marketing (blog, Connection magazine articles), annual HPE Technical Boot Camp presence, and the channel partner network. No public pricing exists; pricing requires direct sales contact. The company maintains no disclosed external funding, no parent/subsidiary structure, and is led by a small founding team with over 150 years of combined IT industry experience, with Andrew Price (joined January 2020) overseeing business operations.

Core offering

Infrasoft develops and licenses the uLinga suite of natively compiled C-based middleware that enables HPE NonStop enterprise systems to integrate with modern data platforms (Apache Kafka), AI applications (via Model Context Protocol), IBM mainframes (CICS/IMS), and SNA/X.25 networks over IP infrastructure. The software preserves existing customer applications without code changes while delivering protocol conversion, data transformation, and post-quantum-grade security for mission-critical transaction processing.

Product overview

Infrasoft offers the uLinga product suite — a unified portfolio of middleware and integration solutions for HPE NonStop environments. The core portfolio centers on uLinga for Kafka (high-performance Kafka streaming), uLinga Nexus (AI-ready MCP gateway and multi-protocol gateway), and uLinga for CICS/IMS (mainframe integration replacing SNA with TCP/IP). Supporting products include uLinga for Enterprise Extender and uLinga for DLSw (SNA over IP), uLinga for X.25 (X.25 over IP), and uLinga Gateway (multi-protocol gateway). Common capabilities woven throughout the suite include uLinga Data Transformation (binary/JSON/ISO8583 conversion), uLinga Security (TLS/PQC/OAuth), and WebCon (browser-based management UI). The products share common interfaces (Guardian IPC, Pathsend, HTTP) and run natively on NonStop as Guardian process pairs, with availability also on Windows, Linux, and POSIX systems.
