A rescued and restored clip vintage 1995 on Distributed Computing -- QUICK TIPS on SNA -- IBM SNA connectivity to Microsoft Windows NT Server Networks, given by Rich Kaplan. A six minute extract of very basic SNA connectivity and NT networks in a distributed environment. Good 1995 info from long time Microsoft tech and management guru, Rich Kaplan, highlighted with helpful technical diagrams. A 6 minute excerpt from original 40 min. film.

Terms mentioned include:
DASD – Direct Access Storage Device
SNA – IBM System Network Architecture
AS/400 – IBM Application System/400 mid-range computer family
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
NT Server – Windows “New Technology” Server
RAID 5 - a Redundant Array of Independent Disks configuration that uses disk striping with parity. Data and parity are striped evenly across all of the disks, no single disk is a bottleneck. Striping also allows users to reconstruct data in case of a disk failure.

Presenter: Rich Kaplan -- Rich joined Microsoft in1990 as a senior architectural consultant. During Rich’s extensive technical career, he held many technical and management positions including Vice President, Security Business & Technology Unit, Microsoft Corp.’s general manager of Employee Experience and HR Services for the Americas and Microsoft Alumni Network’s strategic advisor and trustee.

The Company Highlighted briefly in the original presentation was “American Standard Brands” a large manufacturer of plumbing, heating and cooling and other products, based in Piscataway, New Jersey. This excerpt is from a 40 minute talk focused on American Standard’s move to distributed computing away from a large mainframe environment and some of the related challenges and types of technology interfaces used in the migration process. (We are in the process of restoring the entirety of the film presentation from an old VHS for later viewing if there is an interest in it.)
