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 />
