Tandem Computers Inc has introduced OSI/FTAM for its proprietary NonStop systems, and FTAM-UX for the Integrity S2 fault-tolerant Unix system, both products being based on the Open Systems Interconnection model’s specification for File Transfer, Access and Management. FTAM enables remote file access and transfer and the ability to create, delete or modify files between dissimilar computers in an OSI net. OSI/FTAM is integrated with Tandem’s Distributed Systems Management products; both conform to US and UK Government Open Systems Interconnection Profiles. OSI/FTAM arrives in the third quarter at an initial licence fee of $880, FTAM/UX in the fourth, on limited release at an initial $5,000.
