Product Positioning
IBM′s Communications Server for Window NT and
Windows 2000 takes advantage of IBM′s experience with
SNA, TCP/IP, and communications servers to provide a
high-performance, high-quality communications solution
for enterprises with e-business potential and Windows NT
and/or Windows 2000 environments.
Communications Server provides an essential foundation
for networked computing by supporting the most widely
used networking technologies, enabling customers and
Business Partners to build client/server applications
independent of networking protocol or hardware.
The full implementation of APPN
(end node and network
node), HPR, and DLUR, along with the integrated SNA
gateway capabilities, positions the Communications
Server as a participant in either a host (hierarchical) or
peer-to-peer distributed network environment.
With its TN3270E and TN5250 servers, and AnyNet
function, the Communications Server is well positioned
for customers with multiprotocol networking
environments.
Communications Server for Windows NT and
Windows 2000 is the solution for companies in the
Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments that:
• Run multiprotocol or multiple networks
• Have existing SNA applications they want to extend
over TCP/IP networks
• Have existing sockets applications they want to extend
over SNA networks
• Need to support users in a variety of locations, in the
office, at home, or traveling
• Want to:
− Consolidate or change their backbone networks
− Provide SNA 3270 host access to TCP/IP users via
TN3270E
− Provide SNA host access to any Java-enabled Web
browser
− Improve network availability
− Access data from anywhere using familiar
interfaces and protocols
− Publish host data and applications from multiple
sources to the Web
− Provide 5250 access to IP users via TN5250
− Integrate the management of the Communications
Server into Tivoli
− Use Branch Extender or Enterprise Extender
advanced networking technologies to implement
more cost-effective and robust networks
− Improve data security over the Internet and
intranet
