APTNet Mainframe Gateway A-Series Product Description

APTNet Mainframe Gateway A-Series

APTNet Mainframe Gateway A-Series is a logical extension of APTNet Connect, our micro-based Wide Area Network (WAN).

APTNet Connect integrates your IBM-compatible PCs, Windows LANs, Novell LANs, and CTOS clusters into a single, cohesive network.

APTNet Mainframe Gateway extends this network to incorporate your A-Series mainframe, providing micro-to-micro communications and mainframe-to-micro file transfer management services.

Costly, independent micro networks are not required because APTNet Mainframe Gateway utilizes your current Poll/Select lines. With APTNet Mainframe Gateway, your terminal emulation lines are also used for micro-to-micro network routing and file transfers to or from your mainframe. Additional modems or phone lines are not required, reducing your costs for implementing and maintaining an organization-wide network.

APTNet Mainframe Gateway's powerful mainframe-to-micro software distribution and data collection system simplifies the distribution and collection of information across your network. This powerful bi-directional file transfer management system provides you with the ability to schedule, without operator intervention, software distribution and data collection tasks to or from any number of sites. All transfers are completely audited to verify transfer statuses, and to notify you in the event of an unsuccessful transfer. Unsuccessful transfers are automatically restarted from their point of failure.

APTNet Mainframe Gateway is compatible with other APT products to provide networking, productivity, and diagnostic applications across your entire organization. APT Mirror Image is a good example. With APT Mirror Image installed on your network, you can provide remote support to any user in the network without leaving your workstation. This capability significantly minimizes both support and maintenance costs.

The network management capabilities of the APTNet network allow your system administrators to manage all network resources from a central location. Being able to remotely monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot network resources provides your users with the most effective support in the most efficient manner.

Pricing

Initial License Fee Structure

APTNet Mainframe Gateway license fees are divided into two components. The first is for the Mainframe Gateway software which operates on the IBM MVS host. The second component is for the APTNet Mainframe interface which must be licensed for each microcomputer-based license of APTNet that will be connected to and interfaced with the mainframe. APTNet Mainframe Gateway software interfaces with the micro-based APTNet. Microbased-APTNet is provided under separate license by APT and must be purchased separately.
