Includes Industry-Setting Aviva HotConnect(TM) - Providing
Automatic SNA-to-TCP/IP Migration and Failsafe Connectivity
Eicon Technology, a global leader in remote access solutions,
today introduced its Aviva(R) Family - Next Generation Host Access
software with unique Hot Technology features including Aviva
HotConnect(TM), a patent-pending technology that enables secure
SNA-to-TCP/IP migration and failsafe connectivity.
Providing an industry first, Aviva HotConnect's revolutionary
"configure once - detect automatically" technology provides the
perfect migration strategy for corporations planning to move or
currently moving from traditional SNA-based networking to TCP/IP
networks. With Aviva HotConnect, all phases of a network
migration can be fully tested and deployed without interrupting
users' services. Throughout the process, user workstations need
only be configured once, with systems administrators never having
to go back and reconfigure individual desktops. As networks
change, access to host applications remains unaffected; users
never notice a network switchover. Seamless, reliable migration
translates into substantial savings to corporations.
Only Aviva HotConnect can automatically and seamlessly detect, and
use, the first available network connection, regardless of whether
it is SNA or TCP/IP-based. By providing continuous network
availability throughout all phases of migration, Aviva HotConnect
can reroute the connection in the case of network failures.
Eicon's Aviva HotConnect feature ensures corporations
uninterrupted access to mission-critical information.
"The Hot Technology features found within the Aviva Family,
including Aviva HotConnect, provide organizations with the tools
they need to enhance productivity, cut costs and maintain a
competitive edge." said Jean-Francois Levesque, SNA Access
Business Unit Manager at Eicon Technology.
"Aviva HotConnect can save corporations migrating from traditional
SNA-to-TCP/IP networks up to $100 per desktop by eliminating the
need to manually reconfigure individual workstations. When
extending a migration enterprise-wide, this easily translates into
savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars. By integrating Hot
Technology features within the Aviva Family, Eicon continues to
provide our customers with the most secure, flexible and cost-
effective products for delivering host applications to their
desktops and Web-browsers." Aviva HotConnect highlights:
- "Configure once - detect automatically" technology provides
secure, automatic migration from SNA-to-TCP/IP networks
- Automatically and seamlessly detects and uses the first
available network connection to ensure failsafe connectivity
during network failures;
- Eliminates the need to re-configure individual client desktops
for changing networking requirements, greatly reducing migration costs;
- Ensures continuous network availability throughout all migration
phases so administrators can pre-plan and fully test their migration.
The unique Aviva HotConnect feature is found within the following
Aviva Family - Next Generation Host Access products: Aviva Web-to-
Host Server(TM), Aviva for Desktops(TM), Aviva for Terminal
Servers(TM) and Aviva HostPrint Server(TM). EICON Technology Corporation
