Network Management
 |
Network Management has become a hot issue.
However, TPS® Systems, Inc. has been developing Network
Management Solutions for over 15 years. It was an important
issue for us then as it is now. TPS® has products that
run the gamut from File Distribution, Message Switching,
TCP/IP based Remote Job Entry, and Training and Productivity
Enhancements. These products have been designed to be cost-effective;
easy-to-manage solutions needed to enhance the productivity
of the network. All of the products run on UNIX®,
Linux®, and Windows® platforms and interface well with mainframe/host
systems
|
The products most widely used are TPS®/NFM,
TPS®/WebFM, TPS®/NTM, TPS®/JES
Services, and TPS®/MIX.
TPS®/NFM
(NetWork File Manager) is a Netview-like client/server system
designed to distribute and gather files and resources throughout
a network. The client supports multiple OSs such as UNIX®, Linux®,
Windows®, and JAVA, as well as multiple protocols. This browser-based
solution gives the user an easy-to-use means of scheduling and
tracking the movement of files and other resources throughout
the network. This capability can be expanded to interface with
vendors, customers, and business partners making it an inexpensive
e-commerce tool.
TPS®/WebFM (Web File Manager) is a full-featured enterprise/network web-based file distribution and transfer system packed with many options including a secure, easy to use web-based transfer portal, file tracking and extensive auditing capabilities. This portal allows any user, inside your network or via the Internet, with a user account to send data securely into your company’s back-office enterprise system through any Java-enabled web browser, without the need to install any additional client software or overhaul your company’s security model.
TPS®/NTM (NetWork Transaction Manager) provides an easily
manageable, real-time solution to the problem of sending real-time
transactions and messages throughout your multi-platform enterprise.
This browser-based solution has an easy-to-use API that allows
users to interface existing applications such as POS. Since NTM
is real-time, it provides the user the ability to do such things
as credit card authorization and inventory updates.
TPS®/JES Services is a solution to migrate Remote Job Entry
Services (RJE) from SNA or BSC to TCP/IP. This eliminates the
need for existing SDLC WAN networks in order to take advantage
of newer multi-protocol communication technologies such as intelligent
LAN networks. It is a client/server system where the JES Services
Server operates as an OS/390 component executing in the MVS background
in order to make JES/2 or JES/3 available to a TCP/IP based Client.
The RJS (Remote JES Services) Client operates as a daemon on
a UNIX® or Windows® system. It provides the ability to remotely
submit and execute JCL procedures, monitor and control the status
of JES input and output, and automatically receive any job/printer
output.
TPS®/MIX (Multi-session Interactive Executive) has many
functions. It allows help desk personnel to "take over" an
end-user's session to resolve problems, and to provide remedial
training. It also allows ASCII-type terminal users to run multiple
windows-like sessions simultaneously and "jump" between
sessions. A number of retail firms use this product extensively.
TPS® is dedicated to find inexpensive solutions that will
greatly enhance and simplify the management of the ever increasing
and expanding role of networks. If you have a need for software
in this area, please contact us. We have the experience and talent
to solve your problem.
