Network Management Integration
Providing users with the ability to communicate, share data, and run applications across platforms allows organizations to develop more efficient and productive business processes. However, the integration process is not complete until network managers can monitor and control the integrated environment.
Table 10.4 summarizes the services SNA Server uses to integrate Windows 2000 Server–based management systems with IBM host management systems.
