What Makes It Special

Support

Modern SNA support using your existing IP infrastructure

Reduced Cost

Reduce costs for SNA software, operator costs, and eliminating the need for costly SNA infrastructure

Flexibility

Boost flexibility through use of standard IP routing techniques

01

High Performance Solution

uLinga for Enterprise Extender implements Systems Network Architecture (SNA) High-Performance Routing (HPR) protocols over UDP/IP. The higher communication layers preserve the SNA flows expected by your application, and at the lower layers, the communications utilise your existing IP backbone infrastructure, and so can be routed by standard IP routers.

02

How it works

Because zOS Communications Server (VTAM) natively supports Enterprise Extender (EE) protocols, there is no need for special routers to front-end communications with the mainframe.
Standard APIs are supported for the platform: for example on HPE NonStop, applications using the SNAX/HLS, SNAX/CRT, SNAX/APC and SNALU interfaces can all run without modification. Other application transport mechanisms are also supported, including standard file system I/O, and TCP/IP.

Features of uLinga for EE

Exceeding All Expectations

Both browser-based and command-line configuration/ management supported.

Online Configuration

Web browser interface utilising HTML 5 and Web Sockets, with no client software to install

Tracing

Enterprise Extender protocols designed from the ground up for high performance

Connections

Advanced Peer to Peer Networking (APPN) End Node to reduce the number of definitions required on your mainframe. Support for all LU types, including APPC (LU6.2) protocols.

Online Management

Interactive command line interface, with support for obey/script files.

APPC Support

Session Services Extensions (SSE) to enable support for SNA secondary applications and devices to “logon” over EE links

Standard APIs

Support for standard APIs – no application changes required

uLinga for DLSw

uLinga for IMS provides access to IMS applications using native TCP/IP built into IMS. Available for HPE Nonstop, Windows, Linux and POSIX systems.

Simple SNA Migration

uLinga for Data Link Switching implements Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and DLSw protocols over TCP/IP. The higher communication layers preserve the SNA flows expected by your application, and at the lower layers, the communications utilise your existing IP backbone infrastructure, and so can be routed by standard IP routers. The flows are compatible with existing DLSw-capable routers such (e.g. Cisco).

Minimal Risk

Minimise integration risk and effort & simplify network management

Reduced Cost

Seamlessly migrate your applications, and reduce operator costs, and eliminating the need for costly SNA infrastructure

Security

Strengthened security by utilising industry-standard IPSec or SSL/TLS
