Integrating NT into a UNIX Environment
Monday, June 10, 1996
Dreyfus Auditorium
Research Triangle Institute
Research Triangle Park, NC
6 PM - General Session
TOPIC: Integrating NT into a UNIX Environment
Speaker: Steve Duplessie
Chief Executive Officer
Invincible Technologies Corp.
In this discussion, Mr. Duplessie will address the changes facing the computer
industry with the growing popularity of Windows NT. As environments and
technologies change, the basic need to store, access, and manage information
remains the same. This presentation will touch upon existing environments,
integrating change, and the evolution of information management.
Brief overview of discussion:
- Information as the core of any environment
- Managing information
- UNIX presence in todays marketplace
- Introduction to NT and its promise/goals
- Schools of thought for the adoption of NT
- Embracing the migration
- Technology needed to for the two environments to coexist
- Long-term transition from UNIX to NT
Discussion will be relevant to UNIX System Administrators dealing with the
introduction of NT to their existing UNIX environment. Will hear insights into
the promise of NT and what's needed to ensure a smooth transition without
abandoning existing hardware and manpower investments - while maintaining their
most valuable asset: information.
