Webinar: "BASE24 and SNA-Charting Your Future"

September 23, 2009

Who would have predicted ten years ago that, in spite of its high cost and complexity, SNA would still play an important role in many IT infrastructures today? While SNA still represents a viable alternative for some organizations, many others can enjoy significant cost savings by migrating to TCP/IP.
  • How do you know if and when it makes sense for your organization to migrate to an alternative?
  • Does the effort and cost of migration negate the benefits of adopting TCP/IP?
  • How do you assess your options and ensure an optimal migration path?
In this webinar we explored:
  • How SNA is typically used within today's BASE24 environments.
  • How usage trends of SNA and TCP/IP have evolved, and when TCP/IP is expected to completely replace SNA.
  • How protocol consolidation can reduce BASE24 costs.
  • How SecurTN/3270 enables migration from SNA 3270 to the TCP/IP-based TN3270 protocol.
