1.8 Summary
This chapter gave a brief overview of the scope and function of the software products that are
currently available to access the iSeries server. Some of these products allow access to
iSeries resources from a Web browser, while others require a more traditional mode of
connection. Such products as IBM Personal Communications have the ability to access
various hardware platforms, while others such as iSeries Access Family are iSeries specific.
You must understand the capabilities of the available products before you select the most
appropriate solution to enable access to your iSeries server. As Web access to business
systems becomes more prevalent, the need to migrate business function to a Web-enabled
format becomes increasingly important. iSeries Access for Web and IBM WebSphere Host
Publisher are two products that make a significant contribution in this environment.
