GoPlex Overview

|
Key Features: |
- PassGo MultSess, NC-Access and NCI/XF can be controlled centrally
- Multiple copies of MultSess, NC-Access and NCI/XF emulate one large copy of each core product
|
|
- Administration user hierarchy allows different levels of control for system administrators, operators or helpdesk personnel

Round the clock availability of PassGo core products
You need 24 hours a day, 365 days a year availability for users of PassGo MultSess, NC-Access or NCI/XF. By exploiting the IBM parallel Sysplex environment, GoPlex makes this a realistic goal. In a parallel Sysplex, no one component is mission critical. Multiple copies of PassGo MultSess, NC-Access or NCI/XF will co-operate to provide one large and robust facility. These copies can then be spread over several computers, even on physically different sites. |
|
Single point of control for PassGo products
GoPlex provides an easy to use, full screen interface which allows authorized operators to control and view users logged on to any of the PassGo products referred to above. This single point of control can also be used to administer and control the multiple copies of the defined products. The operator can view which PassGo products are being run, which systems the products are being run on, and which users are logged on to them. |

Generic Resources
MultSess, NC-Access and NCI/XF can be started as VTAM generic resources. This enables a common name to be assigned to multiple copies of an application. End users need only know one name to log on, even if there are multiple VTAM definitions. When users have 'LOGAPPLED' (Automatic) logon configured for them, the logon processing will automatically find a PassGo product that is up and running if their normal copy is unavailable. |
|
Greater processing capacity
The parallel Sysplex environment provides a simple method of increasing processing capacity. The building block nature of parallel Sysplex processing allows levels of hardware and software to be mixed and new systems to be added dynamically. GoPlex allows you to maximize these benefits by extending this architecture to your MultSess, NC-Access or NCI/XF applications. |

|
Reduced costs
Costs can be kept to a minimum through:
- Protecting your OS/390 application investments
- Continued use of large system data processing skills without re-education
- The ability to manage a large number of systems more easily than comparably performing multi-system environments
|
|
Scalability
Individual users can be Disconnected, Forced off, or Sent Messages. System level commands such as Shutdown or Application refresh can be issued. GoPlex allows a tiered level of administration control: Master Administrator, Operator or HelpDesk. |
