IBM announced the availability of new
software tools for administrators migrating from Big Blue's own System
Network Architecture (SNA) layouts to IP networks. The new IBM Network
Utility allows network-attached devices using SNA-based applications to add
IP connections. The new tool, which comes in two versions for different
types of functionality, also is intended to combat Cisco Systems' presence in the SNA-to-IP
integration market.
