Scalability
Scalability
Separating the display layer from the business layer:
- allows scalability to be greatly improved
- eliminates much of the interaction with the database -- allowing the application to take better advantage of data connection pooling
Requests to the server are reduced by “fattening” the client (browser) through usage of DHTML, ActiveX or Java applets. Scalability is greatly improved by using a relational database design that takes full advantage of the database engine and index tuning.
