HP OTS/9000

HP OSI Transport Services/9000 (OTS/9000) networking software

provides the Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, ROSE, and

ACSE layers of the OSI reference model. OTS/9000 also provides OSI

network layer services over the X.25/9000, FDDI/9000, or LAN/9000

link. These layers supply the necessary foundation to run OSI services,

such as FTAM and X.400, as well as CMIP, which is part of the HP

OpenView product. OTS/9000 provides several application programmatic

interfaces to allow developers to write custom applications (XTI and

APRI). In addition, OTS/9000 provides RFC1006 functionality. This

feature allows running OSI services such as X.400 over TCP/IP

connections using any link supported by TCP/IP. OTS/9000 is the main

component of HP’s OSI product solutions, which include:

• X.400 (Message Handling Services)

• FTAM (File Transfer, Access and Management)

• CMIS (Common Management Information Service)

• APRI (ACSE/Presentation and ROSE Interface)

• Session API (Session Layer Application Programmatic Interface)

• XTI (X/Open Transport Interface)

• IEEE 802.3 (Local Area Network)

• FDDI (Fiber Distributed Data Interface)

• X.25 WAN (Wide Area Network)
