SNA (Systems Network Architecture)

Systems Network Architecture (SNA) is a framework developed by IBM to manage communication and data exchange within large computer networks. It provides a structured way for different hardware and software systems to connect, communicate, and share information reliably. SNA uses a set of protocols and standards that ensure data flows smoothly between devices, automating processes and enabling efficient network operation. Essentially, it acts as a roadmap that organizes how computers and peripherals work together in enterprise environments, ensuring seamless data transmission and integration across complex systems.
