Architect
The
project aimed to distribute real-time trading reports that are
resident in one of 2 databases: Informix 7.x (Hosted on Solaris)
and Btrieve 5.x (Hosted on NT). My mission was to achieve this
goal and in the process setup an infrastructure for future
Web-Based projects. To that end, my achievements are:
Come
up with a basic underlying design that is highly scalable &
portable. It can scale to multiple Web-Servers, multiple
Application Servers and access multiple Data-Bases. Business
objects running in Application servers can be interfaced with
both web & non-web clients. All servers can be run on either
NT or Solaris platforms. (Java, Weblogic).
