The Internet phenomenon has brought exciting new technologies into the enterprise, along with a formidable task—allowing MIS departments to embrace new Internet and client/server technologies while preserving their investment in existing mainframe systems. In the past, preserving investments required expensive tools and costly staff re-education. Significant logical changes were needed, and API communications code was embedded in the modified applications.
SNA Server 4.0 changes this situation by providing easy and cost-effective ways to integrate with existing application logic in your mainframe and AS/400 application environments, while providing a robust connectivity platform for access to legacy data.
