The new browser-server architecture
Source: Computing Canada Published: Mar 1997
A new architecture that might be called browser-server computing is emerging. It will not entirely replace the client-server model we know today, but it will probably at least influence the way most client-server systems work.
There are plenty of unanswered questions about this new model, but companies should start to explore it, according to George Schussel, founder and chief executive of Digital Consulting Inc. in Andover, Mass.
Speaking at his company’s Internet World conference in Toronto last fall, Schussel said using Internet protocols to link clients to servers makes good sense in several ways. It cuts costs. It makes it easier to support a mix of client platforms, because the application need only be concerned with the Web browser.
