Document Summary

The best practices will affect the indicators and improve those indicators of performance. Availability: percentage of time the network is running. Response time: delay between the time you send the request and receive a response. Throughput: quantities of bits that are sent and received per second. Chapter 2: using best, good, average and poor, briefly compare how the three application architectures rate on each one of the three indicators above. Availability: hb architectures often use mainframes as the hosts and mainframes are very secure and reliable. Response time: mainframes have the highest processing power and data storage, data access, processing and application logic all reside on the host so response times will be low. Scalability: host-based architectures allow expansion but upgrades come in large increments. Availability: availability is dependent upon both microcomputers being active. Data storage logic resides on the simulated server computer so availability is largely dependent.
