FASTCOMM Introduces FramePROTECT Feature Supporting Mission
Critical SNA Traffic Over Frame Relay
STERLING, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 1997--
Available for both Mainframe and AS/400 Environments, FramePROTECT(TM) Prevents Loss of SNA Data and Keeps
Sessions Up in Congestion Situations
FastComm Communications Corp. announced today that it has enhanced its support for SNA business applications in both the
Mainframe (NCP 7.X) and AS/400 environments through an exclusive new feature: FramePROTECT(TM).
This critically important feature is a data loss prevention mechanism, integrated seamlessly into FastComm's suite of SNA
features. Working in concert with FastComm's MaximumPRIORITY(TM) multi-stream prioritization functionality,
FramePROTECT(TM) prevents the loss of SNA data before your applications are affected by network congestion. These
key features keep high priority SNA traffic flowing, avoiding loss of traffic and dropped Sessions. During high congestion
situations, a protected memory area safeguards priority data.
``I'm pleased to announce this key addition to our SNA support, as part of our LAN+Legacy(TM) suite of protocols. We've
put a tremendous amount of resources into our SNA support and complementary features such as our
MaximumPRIORITY(TM) multi-stream prioritization,'' stated Peter Madsen, FastComm President. ``This enhancement
makes our SNA solution the best choice for AS/400 and Mainframe customers--not only do we offer superior networkability,
our products are the easiest to install and maintain in the industry!''
Available immediately, at no extra cost, in FastComm's latest FRAD versions such as the highly popular EtherFRAD(TM)
series of network access devices, the FramePROTECT(TM) feature makes FastComm the best choice for combining LAN
and SNA traffic over Frame Relay--the mainstream choice for business networking today.
