The Network Computing Guide to Planning and Troubleshooting
Middleware Implementations
Network administrators are stuck with the client/server
connectivity software the network database people have thrown at them.
The database people are stuck with what their network database vendors have
thrown at them: database connectivity software often aggrandized into the
great new buzzword "middleware." We're all stuck with what the
middleware products we use today can actually do on our networks.
So, what are we going to do?
The first step is to learn more. This guide to planning and troubleshooting
middleware implementations is designed to help you understand better what's
really going on underneath all those layers of code. We'll show you architectures,
features and real product examples. With this knowledge at hand, evaluating
new middleware products and keeping the old ones running well
should be
easier. We can't solve all the problems the products bring to the table,
but we will help you understand the things commonly problematic with many
products.
So,
join us
for some middleware experience.
