Lesson 7: Systems Network Architecture Server

PC-to-Host Connectivity

The number of LAN-connected PCs has increased, and they play important roles in running organizations. Integrating PC LANs with host computers is critical to the effective operation of enterprises with legacy systems. A large amount of information is stored on computers that are available only through an IBM SNA network.

Enterprise efficiency and competitiveness demand that people using desktop PCs be able to access this information for use with their productivity desktop software. SNA Server gives PC users reliable access to host data and applications, preserves the security and control of host systems, and frees up host and PC resources for what each does best.
