Introduction
The software architecture of a program or
computing system is the structure or structures of
the system, which comprise software
components, the externally visible properties of
those components, and the relationships between
them.

Introduction
The World Wide Web provides a way for human
communication in computer networking which had an
impact on the delivery of information.
Important trends used to develop new web
technology and services are:
ØUbiquity
ØDynamic content
ØReliance on Open Standards
ØReliance on Open Source

Introduction
üUbiquity: decreases in the size of web server
hardware and software, web services embedded in
numerous consumer items, wireless
communications, and protocols to support mobile
networking.

üDynamic content: use of Java as well as both

server-side and client-side scripting languages,
video/audio/text conferencing, more sophisticated
services hiding behind web front-ends.

 Introduction
üReliance on open standards and open source:
software quality and reliability are not correlated with
the cost of software or its associated support services;
innovation is often more rapid where source code is
openly available.

üDeveloped in the 1980s

üIt is also called as Client/Server Architecture
üintended to improve Usability

3-tier Architecture
Business logic is a non-technical term generally used to
describe the functional algorithms that handle
information exchange between a database and a user interface.

3-tier Architecture

02/15/10 SPARK WHIZ TECHNICAL TEAM 13

3-tier Architecture
Advantages
vRemoves high processing burden from client machines.
vNo need of high bandwidth.
vLess no. of updations are required.

3-tier Architecture

Disadvantages
vDevelopment Issues
vPerformance Issues

N-tier Architecture
Distributed application: Programs run on two
or more host computers.
N-Tier: An unlimited number of tiers.
Each tier may have multiple computers.

02/15/10 SPARK WHIZ TECHNICAL TEAM 17

Effective N-tier Architecture Features
•Performance
•Reliability
•Usability
•Security
•Availability
•Scalability
•Maintainability

N-tier Architecture
Advantages
ØBetter scalability
ØHigher fault tolerance
ØHigher throughput for less cost
Disadvantages
ØToo much middleware involved
ØRedundant functionality
ØDifficulty and cost of development
