DESCRIPTION
Most textbooks concentrate on presenting the theory, concepts, and products, with examples of implementations in some cases. The distinctive quality of SNA and TCP/IP Enterprise Networking is in its structure. It answers not only "What?", "Why?", and "How?", but also "What's next?". It shows the reader how enterprise networking evolved, what approaches and techniques can be used today, and where tomorrow's trends lie, illustrating among others Web-to-SNA connectivity and Java based integration approaches.
SNA and TCP/IP Enterprise Networking was written by visionaries, scientists, networking product developers, industry experts, consultants, and end-user representatives, who not only implement the products but also participate in definition of open networking standards. It should be equally appealing to the network practitioners implementing technology as the senior managers making strategic decisions on enterprise networking.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS...

WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING
SNA and TCP/IP Enterprise Networking was reviewed on the "Developer Exchange" web site (www.devx.com):
"Analysts estimate that more than 50,000 SNA installations exist today. Most of them will remain operative in the next several years and will have to be tweaked to support new trends and networking standards. SNA and TCP/IP Enterprise Networking presents various methods of combining legacy SNA systems with newer technologies such as Web connectivity and distributed network management. Due to the emergence of e-commerce and distributed objects on the one hand, and the overwhelming costs of replacing existing networking infrastructures on the other hand, this book-although written in 1997-remains useful today."
