3-tier client/server at work
Jeri Edwards, Robert Orfali · Medical Entomology and Zoology · 1997
From the Publisher: Jeri Edwards takes you on a rare, international tour of eight large companies' client/server applications that are at work in enterprises today. You'll get an insider's peek at these companies' projects. Find out what went right, and what they would do differently next time. You'll learn why 3-tier architectures are key to successful enterprise client/server applications; how to migrate from monolithic, single-tier applications to multi-tier client/server; what today's middle-tier platforms are - including TP Monitors, ORBs, MOMs, and RPCs - and when to use them; what the architectural trade-offs are and how to choose between them; how successful projects are run and what outcomes to expect; and words to the wise: tips from the architects.
