I take it that what prompted this posting was the announcement of the IP
management capabilities of mainframe NetView in its newest release.
All I can tell you is that right now you will have to evaluate what each
platform can offer you for your particular mix. But within Tivoli/IBM the
NetView/390 guys and the NetView for UNIX and NT guys, now all work for the
same boss and he has a vision which involves product convergence, which
means that you will eventually get to the point where it may not matter
what platform you choose as long as it can handle the amount of traffic
that your network requires. Already mainframe guys are working on
distributed NetView, and vice-versa. So I wouldn't worry about making a
wrong decision as long as what you are doing in the short run makes sense.

Subject: [NV-L] Netview on os/390 vs Netview 6.0
HI List,
We are just starting a project to evaluate using Netview on OS/390
to manage our IP resources or to implement & use Net view 6.02 ( Platform
uncertain, possibly NT, maybe, maybe AIX) . Among the goals for this
will
be to have the operators assume more control over the IP resources (
similar
to their current control of the SNA resources), and passing critical
network
events to TEC.
Any thoughts on facilities that might be available one way or the other,
complementary nature or overlap of the products, etc. would be appreciated.
Thanks
