Technical detail
Custom APPN/HPR Solutions
The WebSphere zSeries Services Team can deliver SNA/APPN/HPR solutions to specific customer requirements and problems. Among these are:
Enterprise Extender implementation. This can include VTAM and TCP/IP definitions, SNA session setup and routing design, TCP/IP addressing and subnetting schemes, service level considerations and migration from an existing APPN environment.
NCP reduction. Whether or not the goal is an IP backbone, many customers are looking to reduce the number of NCPs in their network by techniques such as Dependent LU Requester, Branch Extender, and APPN Borders. WebSphere zSeries Services can help you design, plan and roll out these projects.
SNA network health check. We can review your existing network design and definitions in the light of your concerns and known issues, and make recommendations as to configuration changes, operational changes and possible design changes.
Tailored training. We can offer skills transfer, with demonstrations and/or practical exercises, aimed specifically at your installation environment. Problem determination, operation, customization and general "how it works" sessions can be included.
