CAVMEN - Chicago Area
VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts |
Meeting Agenda:
| 9:00 AM | FLEX-ES, The Flexible Enterprise Solution |
| Fundamental Software, Inc.
of Fremont, CA, will be presenting their
FLEX-ES product.
FLEX-ES
is a Plug-Compatible Mainframe computer which
implements the IBM ESA architecture in software instead of hardware.
FLEX-ES runs on new-technology Intel
Pentium processor series server platforms
running the UNIX operating system. It provides a full-featured
uniprocessor or
multiprocessor mainframe CPU, along with a wide range of emulated
devices and the capability to attach physical peripherals.
FLEX-ES runs as a UNIX application program, and as such, multiple instances of FLEX-ES may run simultaneously on the same server. Each instance functions as a logically separate mainframe computer, and can run any current and most older releases of the IBM operating systems VM/ESA, VSE/ESA, or OS/390. Mainframe applications can run unmodified on top of these operating systems. | |
| The speaker will be a representative from Fundamental Software, Inc. | |

Let us know what you use it for, where to get it, and how it works. We have one of these tools presentations periodically, and they always feature tools useful to all members. Plan now to attend. | |
