Mutual Data Connection Facility among Mainframe and UNIX Server -ACOS-NX7000 Data Connection-

摘要

Recently, as with the growth of Web Computing, computer systems have evolved into more complicated systems of cooperating heterogeneous clients and servers. Mainframes are required to have connectivity and cooperability with open systems. Especially, effective use of mainframe data of enterprise system is very important in making decisions of business tactics. In mainframe ACOS-4, NEC offers, as a solution of the problem, the "ACOS-NX7000 disk sharing facility" which will be the basis of high speed data connection among ACOS and NX7000, which is the UNIX* server offered by NEC systems. NEC also offers refam/tape, which is the data connection facility of tape-base between ACOS and NX7000　, for the systems not needing such high-speed connection. This paper describes the function and structure outlines of these functions.
