Introduction
Few integration problems can be solved simply by buying a product
and installing it. No matter what vendors say, building
multivendor computer solutions is never "easy".
The following is a sample of the types of system integration
problems Netmation is prepared solve.
Multimegabit Data Service RAID's vs. SLED's
Downsizing Mainframe Databases Frame Relay
Distributed Database Systems EISA vs. MCA
Communications Servers FDDI
Multimedia UPS
MacIntosh Integration OS/2 vs. Windows
Tape Storage Wireless LAN's
PC-Based UNIX Graphics Standards
Object Oriented Databases Network Management
Graphical User Interfaces X.400 / X.500
Fault Tolerance and Data Security C2 Security
COS Seal of Approval CASE
These integration technologies bring up many key questions which
Netmation consultants can assist you with. Some of the key
integration technology questions are as follows:
- How can I downsize my mainframe database without
disrupting data entry and functionality, while providing a
smooth transition of job functions from the old environment
to the new?
- Some of my customers are looking for ways to move data
at speeds between T1 and T3. Is Switched MultiMegabit Data
Service (SMDS) something they should look into?
- How can CASE tools be integrated into an operating
environment without prohibitive investment and with the
security that they will be compatible with future tools?
- I want to use frame relay to link several LANs to a
backbone WAN. Are there evolving standards and what are the
potential problems with the technology?
- I've noticed an increasing number of object-oriented
DBMSes. Should we implement object databases for my
customers?
- When should wireless LAN installations be considered
and what are the major traps to avoid?
