Optimized for Windows Vista, Reflection 2008 strengthens mainframe security, improves user productivity, and maximizes IT flexibility. See for yourself.

Built to accommodate changing IT.

Reflection supports a mix of technologies, including Windows Vista, Windows XP, Active Directory, Group Policy, SoftGrid App-V, VMware, and Citrix XenApp/Presentation Server. So there’s no need to worry about terminal emulation as your IT infrastructure evolves.

Modern security options. Enhanced regulatory compliance.

Reflection provides user-level security, along with the latest encryption and authentication technologies. It is also validated for FIPS 140-2—the U.S. government's top security standard. This high level of security helps you comply with PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and Basel II mandates.

"From time to time, we've investigated other options, but they've always turned out to be clearly inferior to Reflection."

Faster users. Fewer errors.

Users can work faster and improve data quality with features like Auto Complete, Auto Expand, Spell Check, Scratch Pad, Recent Typing, and Screen History. They can also copy host data into a Word doc, e-mail message, or PowerPoint slide with the click of a button. 

Ready for Vista and Office 2007 when you are. 

Reflection supports User Account Control, Windows Error Reporting, the Ribbon user interface, VBA, and the .NET architecture—strengthening security and improving productivity as you maximize your Microsoft investment.

Simple, seamless upgrades.

When you upgrade to Reflection 2008, the macros, session files, and API applications that you’ve created with your EXTRA! and Reflection products will continue to work as expected.
