SNAP-IX's high functional specification means that it can be used as a key component in many different networking solutions.
- Integrating an SNA network into an IP network using traditional solutions like TN3270 and client-server, or the more strategic Enterprise Extender.
- Incorporating UNIX systems into SNA/APPN networks using an SNA Gateway.
- Hosting local and web applications that interact with legacy mainframe systems.
- Accessing traditional mainframe applications using SNAP-IX's bundled applications, including 3270, TN3270, 5250, RJE and NDM-A.
- The Primary RUI feature allows you to write UNIX applications that emulate a mainframe, when communicating with legacy downstream PU type 2 systems.
