IBM Communication
Controller for Linux on System z (CCL) allows you to keep your
business data and
applications on the mainframe operating systems (IBM
z/OS, z/VM , VSE/ESA, z/VSE, TPF,
and z/TPF) while moving Network Control Program (NCP)
functions to Linux on System z.
Communication Controller for Linux is software
that runs on Linux on System z allowing customers to
move NCP from the IBM 37xx Communication Controllers to the mainframe.
Existing releases of CCL
provide a foundation on which enterprises can help simplify their
network infrastructure through its
support of traditional Systems Network Architecture (SNA) functions
such as SNA Network Interconnect
(SNI) and an interface for vendor-written x.25 over TCP/IP (XOT)
plug-ins in support of X.25 NPSI.
CCL supports a SNA migration evolving toward simplified networks
inclusive of IP network
infrastructure and enhanced hardware independence, while continuing to
operate and help leverage the
value in existing SNA application portfolios.
