etWeave Integrated Solutions, Inc. (NIS) is committed to providing open access between tomorrow's open systems and yesterday's legacy systems. Its product NetWeave serves as the middleware glue which binds diverse computer systems - ones that never were designed to communicate with each other - into a seamless application network.

NetWeave is distinguished among its competitors by several characteristics:

It is the only middleware product that provides both open and legacy messaging and database services, a requirement for many large distributed systems.

It supports a broader range of host and workstation platforms. NetWeave connects IBM OS/390, HP/Alpha, UNIX, HP/Himalaya and Stratus hosts as well as all of today's popular workstations. NetWeave operates equally well in Intranet, Internet, as well as Extranet environments. Also offered is dual-LAN support for environments that require network fault resiliency.

It is designed specifically to support high-performance, mission-critical distributed applications.
