In a continued effort to compete with IBM and its WebSphere offerings, Microsoft on Tuesday announced imminent availability of Host Integration Server 2004. The newest edition of Host Integration Server, which replaces the 2000 version, is designed to make it easier for users to link Windows systems with IBM mainframes and midrange AS/400 servers, known as iSeries servers.
"Host Integration Server 2004 is one of the only products that's aimed at bridging a Microsoft world and a non-Microsoft world," said Steven Martin, lead product manager for the Business Process and Integration division at Microsoft.
