NJE/IP Bridge

Barnard Software, Inc. (BSI) is pleased to announce the general availability of NJE/IP Bridge. NJE/IP Bridge is developed by Sine Nomine Associates and marketed by BSI.

Tired of supporting an expensive SNA infrastructure for submitting jobs, transferring files and sending output to open system printers? Frustrated with the complexity of automating system management in a unified fashion between your mainframe and distributed hosts? Need to execute code on remote Unix-based hosts and return the output back to your mainframe in a way compatible with your existing job scheduling system? Need to deliver mainframe batch output to a program on a workstation to quickly and easily accomplish a post-processing task like archiving or faxing without extensive automation development?

NJE/IP Bridge allows you to interconnect NJE communication services on unmodified OS/390, VM, z/VM z/OS, VSE, TPF and -- for the first time -- open systems (such as Linux, Solaris and AIX) over IP networks. NJE/IP Bridge incorporates a complete bi-directional NJE implementation for a large range of mainframe, midrange, and desktop computing environments, and supports integration of development environments, workstation applications, and system management tasks into a reliable, stable, completely IP-based environment that is transparent to end user awareness.

Early user experience comments that the availability of the NJE/IP Bridge simplifies interaction with open systems by removing the need for complex FTP automation for file transfer. The unattended transfer capabilities and file translation tools provided with the NJE/IP Bridge make interchanging files and output – often delivering output directly from a mainframe application or batch job directly to a desktop user – easy and flexible.

The NJE/IP Bridge provides an easy method for constructing system management automation for Linux guests within a z/VM environment as well as those with external hosts, routing system logging and messages to central Netview or VM Programmable Operator environments. This capability enables fast reaction by the most reliable management elements in most customer environments, and dramatically simplifies and consolidates the number and type of monitoring systems needed to manage a diverse computing environment.

31-bit and 64-bit System/390 and zSeries systems (both standard engine and IFL) are supported along with most popular open systems platforms. Pricing for NJE/IP Bridge is machine-size neutral, and very affordable on any platform.
