258 8.4.1 [3101] Support Platforms Support platforms are hardware or software architectures. The term originally dealt only with hardware and it is still used to refer to a CPU model or computer family. Service Standards Defines Examples 310101 Wireless/Mobile 310102 Platform Independent 310103 Platform Dependent The radio transmission via the airwaves. Various communications techniques are used to provide wireless transmission including infrared ‘line of sight’, cellular, microwave, satellite, packet radio and broad spectrum. The description of the operating systems that are able to execute and run on any platform or operating system. A platform is the underlying hardware and software comprising a system. The description of the operating systems that are able to execute and run on a specific platform or operating system. A platform is the underlying hardware and software comprising a system. Australian Government Architecture Reference Models Version 3.0 An example of wireless/mobile technology includes: � Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME): Sun’s Java environment for devices. It promises a relatively portable environment for those using Java for other tiers of the architecture. Examples of platform independent technologies include: � Hypervisor: also called a virtual machine manager, is a program that allows multiple operating systems to share a single hardware host. � Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE): Sun’s J2EE and Microsoft’s .Net are the two dominant distributed computing architecture frameworks. J2EE provides portability of a single language (Java) over multiple operating systems and hardware platforms � Linux: an open source operating system that runs on multiple hardware platforms. With the ability to run on many platforms, including the PC and Macintosh, Linux has become an alternative to proprietary systems. � Eclipse: a collection of open source projects built on the Equinox OSGi run-time. Examples of platform dependent technologies include: � Windows: Microsoft family of operating systems for personal computers. � Mac OS: Apple’s UNIX-based operating system based on industry standards. � Net: Microsoft’s .Net and Sun’s J2EE are the two dominant distributed computing architecture frameworks. The .Net framework supports a wide range of languages but is primarily tied to the Microsoft Windows operating system and Intel hardware
8.4.2 [3102] Delivery Servers Delivery Servers are front-end platforms that provide information to a requesting application. It includes the hardware, operating system, server software and networking protocols. Front-end platforms stop where the front-end engages with the back-end or client management using service integration. Service Standards Defines Examples 310101 Web Servers 310102 Media Servers 310103 Application Servers 310104 Portal Servers The computer that provides world wide web services on the Internet. It includes the hardware, operating system, web server software, TCP/IP protocols and the website content (web pages). If a web server is used internally, and not by the public, it may be known as an ‘intranet server’. The provision of optimised management of mediabased files such as audio and video streams and digital images. In an n-tier environment, a separate computer (application server) performs the business logic, although some part may still be handled by the user's machine. Business Rules Engine are software systems that executes one or more business rules in a runtime production environment. Focus points for interaction, providing integration and single source corporate information. Examples of web server technologies include: � Apache: a widely used, public domain, UNIX-based web server from the Apache Group (www.apache.org). It is based on, and is a plug-in replacement for, NCSA's HTTP server Version 1.3. The name came from a body of existing code and many ‘patch files’ � Internet Information Server: web server software from Microsoft that runs under various versions of Microsoft Windows. It supports Netscape's SSL security protocol and turns a Windows-based PC into a website. Examples of Media Servers include: � Real Audio: streaming media server solution designed to supply desktop and mobile content � Windows Media Services: part of Microsoft Windows Server editions, optimised to deliver streaming media and dynamic digital content over intranet and Internet delivery channels. Examples of application servers include: � IBM’s WebSphere Application Server � Oracle Application Server Examples of business rules engines include: � IBM’s WebSphere ILOG JRules � Oracle Business Rules: a component of Oracle Application Server � Microsoft Business Rules Framework – a Microsoft .NET-compliant class library.
