• Why your FTP is vulnerable, and why it must be a secure resource
• How to uncover vulnerabilities early and put audit trails in place that ensure compliance with corporate standards and government mandates such as PCI
• How VFTP's added mainframe visibility can help you to tighten security, improve reliability, and strengthen your controls of your mainframe FTP
• How VFTP can help you diagnose FTP problems and automate FTP transfer management.

FTP is the data transfer application of choice for many sites. But at significant risk. This session presents solutions regarding authentication, encryption, data security, regulatory compliance, auditing, automation, nonrepudiation, control, and monitoring.

IBM's System Network Architecture (SNA) and Advanced Peer to Peer Networking (APPN) are still widely used and still form the basis of mission-critical systems.

But the success of the Internet and TCP/IP has forced companies to add TCP/IP support for many of their legacy SNA applications.

Using Enterprise Extender to consolidate IP and SNA networks, z/OS shops have retired much of their 37xx hardware and achieved significant cost savings.

This session will describe...

• What is Enterprise Extender?
• The challenge of migrating 1,000 bank branches to an IP network.
• Pitfalls to look out for.

Discover how you can use SDS's VitalSigns for IP tool to:

• Extract and analyze EE network performance data in real time.
• Monitor every HPR connection including hops, path switches, and ARB congestion.
• Quickly spot fragmentation - and its source -- at the UDP/IP level.
• Make a quick check of EE network availability and status.
• Generate a detailed audit trail of end-to-end EE connections including packet losses incurred.
• Proactively manage, monitor, and optimize Enterprise Extender networks for maximum performance.

The packet trace can be one of your most valuable problem-solving tools. But packet tracing in the z/OS Communications Server presents its own set of mysteries.

See an overview of packet trace internals. And see packet tracing used to study basic network interactions, such as TCP connection handshake, MSS negotiation, path MTU discovery, and traceroute.
