NFS/iX™

Transparent Network File System Access

• Transforms an HP 3000 into a file server for other NFS clients
• Allows MPE users to access files residing on other open systems supporting NFS
• Supports shared printer access

File systems that provide flexible file sharing capabilities supporting virtually every computer platform, including MPE, are scarce. Most systems that support more than one platform do so unreliably. Quest Software has a solution.

Quest Software’s NFS/iX™ allows HP 3000 systems to coexist with open systems in the same network by allowing transparent access to and from its file system. NFS's client/server design opens files for distributed access between different systems without demanding network transfers. This simple file mount accomplishes data availability between heterogeneous platforms. UNIX file access is possible from MPE operating systems with full POSIX shell user commands.

MPE and open systems coexistence provides transparent programmatic access to transactions with intelligent mapping facilities designed to provide continuous, seamless, and real-time or scheduled movement of data from MPE to other platforms and RDBMS. Quest Software addresses these needs with the following middleware solutions: BridgeWare, SharePlex Bridge and NetBase Client.
