Hello David,
Ih hope, you did enjoy your vacation days .
Here are some topics I want to discuss.
Please reply your information per email or send me a time frame, I can call
you this week.
1. Distributed Printing
Our data center produces reports from mainframe applications (EBCDIC with
ASA)
and AFP output for 600 banking companies.
most of the output is send as files via 64Kbit/s-WAN to the banks and they
can view and print
it from an apllication (using printers like Genicom 4490 max is 1400 lpm,
or PSI ).
We have to migrate this printing environement, because the distributed
systems in the banks
are based on IBMs OS/2 .
Other reports are printed centrally at GAD data Center.
We discuss to implement a centralized IBM IPM at our data center and
connect the
printers in the banks via TCP/IP. The output will be send to the IPM and
the administrators in
the banks will use a web-client to view and manage their reports. We would
connect
over 1.000 printers to a centralized IPM server.
IBM would implement IPM servers at our costumers and connect them as
secondary
print server to our central IPM, if only one central server will not
perform.
We do not have any experience with this kind of distributed printing .
In your environemt users send print files from their desktop to the
centralized IPM.
what kind of lines to you use in your WAN ?
What is your recommondation about our model of
"a centralized print pool" with 1.000 distributed printers?
kind regards
GAD eG

Hello Norbert,
Our print delivery (implementation) project is completed and the
project team disassembled. I led the effort and would be happy to
answer any questions you may have. However, I will be on vacation
the next two weeks. Feel free to call me at 617.253.7095 after Sept 9th.
