All four features are available now as a free software upgrade.Bytex also said it will roll out within 90 days Simple Network Management Protocol support on its token-ring modules.Finally, the company said it will support by next year the Open Software Foundation, Inc.'s Distributed Management Environment by migrating its net management applications to Hewlett-Packard Co.'s OpenView net management platform.Charlotte, N.C.--What began as Ten row Chain Heart Set simple addition of a new site to this city's SNA network evolved into a complete net overhaul that led to the development of a sprawling LAN internetwork.

Two years ago, when Charlotte's Communications Information Systems department was handed the task of tying the city's new fire station into its existing Systems Network Architecture net, it took the opportunity to evaluate the entire network and propose an overhaul.Because the city shared data Tiffany Nature Daisy Earrings and Necklace Set facilities in the Charlotte-Mecklenberg Government Center (CMGC) with the County of Mecklenberg, it was decided to include the county's SNA network in the scope of the redesign.

"It was getting cost-prohibitive to make all these point-to-point connections," said Guy Hutchins, the communications manager of the Communications Information Systems department. "We wanted one system that could handle all current needs as well as provide for future growth."

The new network, which is based on two fiber rings Elsa Peretti Teardrop Pendant Silver Set by a series of Fibronics International, Inc.'s MultiHubs, has allowed the city to reduce the number of costly leased lines it employs by multiplexing numerous lines onto a shared backbone, thereby saving thousands of dollars in monthly chargesBy integrating voice, video and data services on Fibronics' Unimux platform, Hutchins has been able to reduce hookup times because the net Tiffany Mini Bean Set consists of private fiber instead of public network facilities."Because we're not waiting on the local phone company and doing things ourselves, we can do in four hours what used to take us three weeks," he said.

It wasn't until Hutchins and his staff began a network inventory that they realized just how unwieldy the net had become. The SNA network is comprised of an IBM 4381 mainframe located at the CMGC data center that was connected to a 3725 front-end processor, which was supporting an undetermined number of local-and wide-area lines.

These lines branched out across five blocks to link Elsa Peretti Teardrop set --such as IBM 3174 cluster controllers and Application System/400s in several city buildings-to the CMGC data center, providing communications services to 26 city departments and more than 4,500 employees.The county had a separate but similarly configured network connecting its facilities.

"We had no idea how many communications devices existed when we first started," Hutchins said. "There were hundreds of connections between buildings, a conglomeration of mainframes and (other) IBM systems everywhere."Hutchins convinced city and county officials that it was time to integrate and consolidate communications facilities to reduce expenses and prepare for future needs.Charlotte then put the project out for bid and selected Fibronics' plan to provide a high-speed fiber network that would integrate a broad range of multivendor equipment."We were interested in getting the most bang for our buck from the new system, and the versatility of Fibronics' (MultiHub) gave us that," Hutchins said.The MultiHub is an intelligent fiber-optic hub with a 70M bit/sec bus that supports Ethernet and token-ring local-area Tiffany Sevillana Set and has time-division multiplexing capabilities.Hutchins used eight MultiHubs located in separate buildings to create two 70M bit/sec fiber rings--one connecting four city buildings and the other linking four county buildings.
