Integrating TCP/IP iA *nets with IBMA (R) Data Centers is a focused and comprehensive handbook targeting the integration of IBM and compatible mainframes and AS/400s with Internet technology-based networks--iA *nets--including the Internet, intranets, and business-to-business extranets. The book is a valuable resource for those working to ensure that traditional IBM data centers play an integral role in the new Internet-dominated business world. This book offers an overview of the transition from SNA to SNA-capable iA *nets and the role of the latest SNA incarnation--High Performance Routing (HPR). It presents all the major technologies used to integrate SNA systems with TCP/IP: transport technologies, access technologies, user interface rejuvenation, programmatic solutions, and network infrastructure issues and techniques. The author provides detailed descriptions and evaluations of specific products and technologies, with summaries of the pros and cons of each and advice on how they fit into an overall solution.You will find coverage of important topics such as: *tn3270(E), ip3270, and tn5250 *3270-to-HTML conversion *Applet-based 3270/5250 emulation *Data Link Switching (DLSw) *Application servers *User-interface rejuvenation and AutoGUIs *HPR-over-IP and AnyNet *Channel-attached mainframe gateways *Maintaining security *Securing availability and response time *Ensuring network management, scalability, and accountability Real-world case studies of GM, TWA, Del Monte, and Lafayette Life Insurance illustrate how Internet technologies can minimize remote access costs while extending the reach and scope of mission-critical information that resides in mainframe data centers.
Numerous figures, topic summary sidebars, and tables summarizing product features give readers quick and easy access to vital information. Whether you are investigating the topic in general, are in the process of designing a solution, or researching specific technologies, Integrating TCP/IP iA *nets with IBMA (R) Data Centers will help you successfully accomplish your goals. 0201309912B04062001
