Mainframe Networking: An Introduction

by Ricardo Nuqui

Mainframes have been a critical part of enterprise IT infrastructure for many years, and they continue to play a vital role in today's digital landscape. As enterprises modernize their IT environments, the role of mainframes in supporting mission-critical workloads remains as important as ever. Mainframe networking is a complex and challenging field, and many IT professionals find it difficult to keep up with the latest trends and best practices. This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to mainframe networking, covering everything from the basics of networking protocols and hardware to advanced topics such as network security, performance optimization, and integration with modern systems. The book is organized into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of mainframe networking. The chapters are designed to be standalone, so readers can skip to the sections that are most relevant to their needs. Throughout the book, we have included practical examples and case studies to help readers understand how mainframe networking works in the real world. This book is intended for mainframe network administrators, network architects, IT managers, and anyone who is interested in mainframe networking. We assume that readers have a basic understanding of mainframe systems and networking concepts, but we try to explain technical terms and concepts in a clear and accessible manner.
