The solution provides advanced 377x SNA/RJE mainframe communications over IP networks through IBM’s Enterprise Extender technology.
CUMMING, GEORGIA, March 15, 2006 -- CQ Computer Communications, Inc. announces a way for clients to achieve SNA communications over existing IP connections through IBM's® Enterprise Extender technology. Through the CQ-3770EE® connectivity solution, users can connect to an IBM mainframe over an IP network without the need for routers, special adapter cards, and other hardware devices that traditional SNA connections require.
The CQ-3770EE solution provides combines numerous features with an advanced interface to provide users with 377x SNA/RJE mainframe connectivity over IP networks. The transmission of SNA data over IP networks is accomplished through the Enterprise Extender technology. CQ-3770EE provides connectivity from any remote or local workstation or network server running a Microsoft® Windows® operating system such as Windows XP or Windows Server™ 2003. Features include an advanced scripting language for customizing the solution to your organization’s specific connectivity needs, valuable scheduling features for automating unattended transmissions, and useful printing features for legacy printers as well as newer high speed printers and printing devices. Security features such as Triple DES can also be implemented in order to make RJE communications fast and secure.
Brief SNA Technical History
Systems Network Architecture (SNA) networks that were implemented decades ago are still in place and in use today and remain mission-critical components of the organizations that use them. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to support and maintain SNA networks and systems because key SNA networking equipment has been discontinued or is now not supported and also because there is a lack of personnel to support the applications and equipment that are a part of the SNA system. For these reasons, it has become necessary to move from "pure" SNA into a form of SNA that can be integrated with today’s technology and resources.
The Move to SNA over IP
Many organizations would agree that Internet Protocol (IP) is now the networking technology of choice. Almost all new IT deployments, including those that include mainframe connectivity, are based on IP. For many years, SNA over IP was not a possibility. However, with the implementation of Enterprise Extender on the mainframe, remote clients can now transmit SNA traffic over their existing IP networks! Enterprise Extender (EE) allows for the use of SNA transport protocols (namely APPN and HPR) over an IP network. EE enables the leveraging of IP based infrastructure network components for use in delivering SNA traffic.
The Enterprise Extender architecture carries SNA (HPR) traffic of any LU type over an IP infrastructure, without requiring changes to that infrastructure. EE essentially treats the IP network as a particular type of SNA logical connection. In this manner, these SNA protocols act as transport protocols on top of IP, as does any other transport protocol such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
The CQ-3770EE connectivity solution is the ideal solution for 377x SNA/RJE connectivity over IP networks. Through the Enterprise Extender technology, organizations can now connect to mainframes through readily available IP connections.
