Modernize Mainframe Connectivity Without Changing Your Applications

For organizations running mission-critical HPE Nonstop and IBM Mainframe environments, maintaining legacy SNA infrastructure is increasingly expensive and difficult to support.

uLinga for Enterprise Extender (EE) provides a standards-based (HPR/IP) solution that transports SNA traffic over modern IP networks—allowing organizations to retire legacy networking technologies while keeping existing applications fully operational.

No application changes. No network redesign. Just seamless connectivity.

Why uLinga/EE?

Legacy SNA environments often require specialized networking equipment, multiple communication protocols, and complex administration.

uLinga/EE simplifies your infrastructure by enabling SNA communication across standard IP networks while preserving existing application interfaces.

Benefits

Modernize legacy SNA connectivity

Eliminate dependence on specialized SNA networking hardware

Reduce infrastructure and operational costs

Consolidate communications onto a single IP network

Improve network monitoring and security

Preserve existing Nonstop and Mainframe applications

Accelerate SNA retirement initiatives

Built for HPE Nonstop Environments

uLinga/EE is purpose-built for mission-critical Nonstop systems and integrates seamlessly with IBM z/OS Communications Server.

Applications continue running exactly as they do today while communications move transparently across an IP infrastructure.

No Application Changes Required

Applications using standard Nonstop APIs continue operating without modification, including:

SNAX/HLS SNAX/CRT SNAX/APC SNALU Standard File System I/O TCP/IP interfaces

This significantly reduces project risk and implementation time.
