Reliable Agent-Server-Browser Architecture:

VIP Agents reside on z/OS, where they report on the status and configuration of their hosts--including data on TCP/IP stacks, applications, buffers, and interfaces.

Multiple VIP Agents pass data to a VIP Server, a fully portable service that typically runs on z/OS Unix System Services (USS).

The Server delivers z/OS network data to users at common desktop web browsers.

Robust, Secure Architecture

  • Monitor multiple z/OS systems through a single VIP server, or run redundant servers
  • Redundant access to VIP data in case a communication path is lost
  • Ensured data integrity between host and server
  • Supports host-level security via RACF (user's option)

Environment

  • VIP Agents install on z/OS
  • VIP Servers install on z/OS Unix System Services (USS), and/or on Linux, Unix, Windows.
  • Server is a pure Java system, fully portable and cross-platform compatible
  • Displays to Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers.
  • Installation time, roughly 40 minutes
