In the second quadrant, the enterprises purchase the readymade <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
application solutions relevant to their industries as the means of assisting and<br />
supporting their business reengineering processes. As these are new <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
applications most likely ready for a distributed open environment, it would be<br />
appropriate to implement them on the alternative server platforms. It is a direct<br />
replacement approach. <strong>The</strong> new configurations replace the existing <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
applications and the associated host systems.<br />
In the third quadrant, the enterprises implement the three-tier client/server <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
applications both to access host data and to interconnect existing <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
applications running on different platforms. <strong>The</strong> three-tier client/server model is<br />
the same concept as the application server model. <strong>The</strong> resultant configuration is<br />
the distributed <strong>OLTP</strong> system.<br />
In the fourth quadrant, the enterprises target the ultimate goal of implementing<br />
enterprisewide client/server <strong>OLTP</strong> systems. <strong>The</strong> current host systems<br />
participate as distributed servers in the enterprisewide distributed networks<br />
interconnecting multivendor server computers and client computers. All of these<br />
computers work together to provide the full-function, enterprisewide <strong>OLTP</strong><br />
system serving all eligible end users of the enterprise.<br />
As you can see in Figure 5 on page 12, the specific needs of the enterprise in<br />
each quadrant are quite different. <strong>The</strong>refore the comprehensive <strong>OLTP</strong> solutions<br />
provided by the vendors must be highly flexible and meet most, if not all, of the<br />
enterprise requirements listed in Table 1 on page 9.<br />
