TCP/IPv6: The Next Generation of TCP/IP
Bill Woo, HP and Peter Shell, Insession Technologies
Session Level: Advanced
TCP/IP is one of the most significant technology enablers for the Internet, which has undergone phenomenal growth over the last few years. Today, the limits of the Internet are already felt, mostly by corporate users. The current version of the Internet Protocol, known as IP version 4 or IPv4 has grown so complex that the accommodation of new functionality the market demands is very difficult or even impossible. Learning from the IPv4 protocol experience, IPv6 eliminates the protocol complexity and improves upon the scalability, security, ease of configuration, and network management capabilities. This session will provide an insight on the TCP/IP plans for the HP NonStop Server products, including Conventional TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP and the new IPv6-based product. An overview of the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, feature content by release including major features such as Logical Network Partitioning and Constellation IP, and migration strategy will also be presented. Finally, you will also hear about real experience with TCP/IPv6.

Managing Complex Real Time Environments (RTE/ZLE)
Tarik Husain
In a fully functional real time environment, your business can react and change, sometimes instantly, to customer trends and demands. Careful management of this environment is essential to maintain business continuity. A business user could change a 'rule' that adversely affects application availability, or the business demands a new channel implemented, within days, which increases system workload. Implementing the correct monitoring, measuring and management tool, which has to operate in real time, is critical to the success of your RTE/ZLE environment.

ComForte

Revolutionizing Data Storage: TSI Virtual Tape Solution
Michael Woodbury
TSI Virtual Tape Solution appears as one or more NonStop tape drives/tape library devices to the NonStop system by emulating the drives/libraries in software. The volumes written by the host may in fact be written on a disk, used either as a cache for staging data that will later be transferred to tape, a disk for permanent storage, or a physical tape not otherwise supported by the host. TSI Virtual Tape Solution allows: NonStop servers to share non-proprietary off-the-shelf drives and libraries that no longer need to be direct connected; volume stacking of TMF dumps and backups to disk cache and tape, thereby reducing physical tape usage by up to 90%; NonStop data to be sent over a data network utilizing Fibre Channel; and seamless integration into the NonStop environment by utilizing TMF, BACKUP/RESTORE, DSMTC and backup scripts currently in use.
