EZX-Gateway provides an easy-to-implement solution to the
real-world problems faced by the multi-platform
application architectures in banking, retailing,
telecommunications, stock exchanges, and hospitals,
where large volumes of online data must move into an IBM
mainframe on a daily or hourly basis. By exploiting HP
StorageWorks XPä
Disk Arrays as shared repositories for the data to be
exchanged, EZX-Gateway is able to construct an
end-to-end transfer environment that affords new levels
of performance while continuing the reliable operation
and ease-of-use traditionally associated with all
ETI-NET products.
ETI-NET has brought together the best features of its
BCOM® and EZX-BackBox® products in its
EZX-Gateway, providing Fibre channel-based, zero latency
file transfer between HP NonStop and IBM mainframes
without the need for expensive network bandwidth.
Issues
Solved by the EZX-Gateway
·Ever growing volumes of data to move to and from
mainframes each night or hour.
·Ever shrinking time windows to accomplish the
transfers.
·No path for linear growth as data volumes grow over
time.
·No tolerance for failures in transfers that would
result in violation of time windows.
·Overloaded corporate LANs
·High TCP/IP processing overhead in NonStop and
mainframe systems.
·Complex management of transfer process on disparate
systems.
