Why did Microsoft change the name from SNA Server?
The name change reflects the full scope of functionality offered by the product. In addition, it highlights Microsoft’s commitment to providing support and integration possibilities for back-end and host systems through increased performance and ease of configuration for DB2 access, COM+ support for integrated CICS/IMS transactions, and support for Microsoft Message Queue Server 2.0 and IBM’s MQSeries 5.1 for messaging-oriented middleware integration. These features allow users to build more scalable and reliable integrated solutions while maintaining transactional integrity. This product also has been updated to take advantage of features inherent to the Windows 2000 platform.
