Web app developers took Applications largely operating
advantage of these local in a client / server model were
services and used HTML augmented with Web browser
to “project” the UI to many and servers. The industry
types of clients focused on rich OS and local
Microsoft provided COM, IIS, services provided by products
Internet Explorer like SQL Server™.

Client Logic Data, Hosts

“Stateful”
Browsers OS
Services “Stateless” &
“Geo-Scalable”
COM+ Services improve reliability,
scalability and manageability. Internet Separation of data and
Explorer provides DHTML for better business logic provide
interactivity. greater scalability and
Combination of “stateless” Web performance while
protocols with DNS and IP routing have accessing enterprise
enabled mass-scale “geo-scalability” and legacy data.
