In this situation, what
you probably need is an NFS Client that will allow you to access and
utilize the NFS resources from the PC environment. By installing
an NFS Client on the PC, the user of that PC can mount and use the UNIX
drives and resources as if they were local to the PC environment.
The product(s) we
offer for this solution is(are):
- [FN-515] Omni-Lite
for Windows 95/98
(Includes: NFS Client and LPR/LPD)
- [FNT-506]
Omni-NFS Enterprise for Windows NT/95/98
(Full suite includes: NFS Client, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR, plus more)
The solution for this one
is simple. Simply install an NFS server software in each of the
PCs you need to access from the UNIX environment. For every PC
you need to access, make sure you install an NFS server software in
each one. By doing so, you can export the PC resources and allow
the UNIX boxes to become clients of the PC environment. XLink's
NFS server products include remote printing capabilities with LPD.
The product(s) we
offer for this solution is(are):
- [FN-504] Omni-NFS
Server for Windows 2000/NT/95/98
(Includes: NFS Server and LPD)
We have one of the most
cost-effective solutions for administrators who need X-Terminals, yet
are reluctant to spend ridiculous amounts of money for dedicated dummy
terminals (makes you wonder where the name "dummy" comes from
doesn't it?). What the X-server software does is that it converts
the PC station into a X-Terminal station that can operate X-Windows
as if it were UNIX X-Windows server itself. In essence, the PC
becomes a terminal emulator for the X-Windows environment.
The product(s) we offer
for this solution is(are):
- [XW-402] Omni-X
for Windows 2000/NT/95/98
(Includes: X-Server, VT420, FTP, and RSH)
Since the probability of
administrators who need PCs as X-Terminals as well as NFS Clients is
pretty high, XLink has a software package that includes both X-Server
and NFS Client. The reason to have a PC with both X-Terminal and
NFS Client capability is because since the X-Windows is in the UNIX
environment, the PC user may need to access certain files or resources
while emulating X-Windows. XLink provides this convenience by
combining X-Server and NFS Client in one simple package.

offer for this solution is(are):
- [XFT-406] Omni-NFS/X
Enterprise for Windows 2000/NT/95/98

more)
If you have a Windows network
that is connected by a Windows NT Server, you can have the entire network
have access to UNIX by installing one NFS gateway software on the NT
Server. What the NFS gateway software does is that it allows the
NT Server or Servers (by utilizing multiple NT Servers you can increase
bandwith between the PCs and UNIX) to act as a "gateway" between
the the PC and UNIX environments. With the NFS gateway, you only
need to do one installation on the NT Server(s) and immediately have
all PCs connected to UNIX via that NT Server.
This solution is ideal for those who have large PC networks that access
the UNIX environment sporadically. In other words, before purchasing
the NFS gateway software, make sure you indicate the total number of
concurrent users that need to access UNIX at any given point in time.
(e.g. I have a network consisting of 100 workstations, but only
a maximum of maybe 25-users will actually access UNIX at the same time.
In this case, I would only need NFS gateway for 25-users not 100)
The product(s) we
offer for this solution is(are):
- [GT-101] Omni-NFS
Gateway for Windows 2000/NT Server
(Full suite includes: NFS Client Gateway, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR, and
more)
XLink is probably the only
company right now to offer this solution. By incorporating both
NFS Client AND Server in one installation, the NFS Dual Gateway
is the TOTAL PC-to-UNIX integrating solution for those seeking to do
so through a Windows NT Server. Through just one installation
on the NT Server, multiple PCs can access the UNIX files and resources
at once, and UNIX stations can access the PC workstations as well.
This is the perfect solution for networks that have average bandwith
requirements that have users on both sides of the coin (PC/UNIX).
As with the NFS gateway,
only one installation per Windows NT Server is required after which,
depending on the number of concurrent users specified, PCs on the Windows
network can access UNIX resources. UNIX stations can access PCs
by mounting the NT server that has information about each individual
PCs on the PC network.
The product(s) that
we offer for this solution is(are):
- [GT-102] Omni-NFS
Dual Gateway for Windows 2000/NT Server
(Full suite includes: NFS Client/Server Gateway, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR,
and more)
