Synopsis

Open systems are systems that allow any type of software to be interchanged and ported across many different hardware platforms. They are vendor independent. The enormous benefits of open systems are often lost because of poor planning and budgeting. This book offers a step-by-step methodology for planning and implementing an open system. Each step includes an accompanying template with specific procedures that you can customize for your company. There is also background information about standards from IEEE, POSC, and other existing open systems models and architectures. Customizable procedures are provided on disk.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A complete, proven methodology for planning and setting up an open client/server environment in your organization.

The advantages of client/server systems are often lost through poor planning and budgeting. Companies have squandered millions on elaborate integration and reengineering schemes by jumping into this technology without proper planning.

This book provides a step–by–step methodology for planning open client/server systems. The planning methodology gives you the freedom to choose the best hardware and software components for your enterprise while achieving the inter–operability, portability, and scalability you need.

Numerous case studies are presented with up–to–date and relevant examples. You′ll also get a wealth of helpful background information about formal and de facto standards, open system models and architectures, client/server applications, middleware, system management, and more.

Whether you′re a manager, system architect, strategic planner, or software professional, Distributed Open Systems Engineering is a resource you won′t want to be without.

WHAT′S ON THE CD–ROM

The Distributed Open Systems Engineering Environment (DOSEE) demonstration planning software tool on the enclosed CD incorporates many of the templates described in the book.

It also includes a subset of a client/server planning database generated by one company. You can modify or add to this database to reflect your own organization′s open client/server system needs and to help plan out your system.
