Product Overview:  TAS Brochure
Jun.30.06 (PDF)
As a business grows, the complexity of its computing environment tends to increase. Hardware, applications, operating systems, users and geographic locations proliferate steadily usually to the detriment of accessibility and utilization.
TAS Feature List

Features for the TotalNET Advanced Server 7.2
Quick Reference Manual: TAS Quick Reference Manual
May.15.02 (PDF)
This manual provides TAS users with a concise, printable collection of TAS commands presented in alphabetical order.
Server Administration Manual: TAS Administration Manual
Feb.19.03 (PDF)
This introduction to TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS) is divided into the following sections: an overview of TAS software capabilities, a synopsis of the Syntax Administration Framework, and directions on how to use this manual.
Server Reference Manual: TAS Reference Manual
Aug.13.03 (PDF)
TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS) provides a unified networking solution for multi-platform LAN and WAN environments. TAS enables LAN Manager, Windows, OS/2, NetWare, and AppleTalk clients to
share file, print, and terminal services transparently across a Unix server, regardless of their choice of client software or network protocol.
Solution Brief: Migrating NFS to a Server-Centric Solution
Oct.01.04 (PDF)
Organizations often use a PC-based NFS solution to achieve Windows-Unix interoperability. This solution requires administrators to perform NFS configurations on every desktop in the
network. Installation, configuration, and maintenance of a NFS solution escalate the total cost of ownership of a network. Additional problems associated with NFS include file/record locking, costly administration, and the lack of interoperability with disparate network
operating systems.
Support for Active Directory (AD) in TAS
Jul.01.06 (PDF)
TotalNET Advanced Server Software (TAS) allows you to specify which authentication service should be used for each file service you configure. This note specifically describes how TAS supports the Active Directory scheme.
Using TAS to Simplify a ClearCase Deployment
Jun.01.04 (PDF)
ClearCase is the software asset management package most widely used in a heterogeneous
environment. It allows you to manage a development project that spans multiple
different platform types. For example, you can have some developers working on Windows
workstations and others on Unix systems, all using the same software management
controls.
Windows and UNIX Coexistence
Oct.01.04 (PDF)
A typical IT environment includes a variety of system and network protocols. However, protecting and leveraging existing technology investments are challenges when an enterprise attempts to integrate Windows and Unix into the network. Vast differences in protocols, authentication methodologies, and administrative tools and conventions make the coexistence of Windows and Unix in the network extremely complex.
White Paper: Access Control List Administration
Jul.01.02 (PDF)
This white paper augments the 'File Manager' chapter of the TAS Administration Manual by describing the Unified Access Control List (UACL) and how Unix and Windows NT/2000
permissions are mapped between operating systems. This white paper is technical; it assumes prior knowledge of Unix Access Control Lists (ACLs), Windows NT/2000 Discretionary Access Control Lists (DACLs), and the TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS).
TAS in a Configuration Management System
Jul.01.02 (PDF)
Software configuration management systems enable software developers to streamline development cycles, produce more efficiently, and more effectively manage code base evolution. However,
developing across Windows NT and Unix operating systems is not possible with these solutions. TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS) augments software configuration management systems, such as Rational® ClearCase®, by enabling seamless development across operating systems.
TAS White Paper
Jan.01.02 (PDF)
TAS augments the Unix operating system by providing a common file system that enables a Unix system to operate as a powerful file, print, security, and application server for Windows NT/2000,
Windows 95/98, NetWare, Macintosh, and Unix computers. All critical information resources are stored in the highly reliable Unix file system and transparently shared among disparate clients. TAS is compliant with all industry-standard communication protocols, supports all LAN technologies, and enables the seamless integration of technology investments.
