Client/Server technology ushers in a new era in PC-based database computing.
Minimizing the load on a network while enhancing functionality gives this
technology its special appeal. Major network operating systems like
Unix and Windows NT are commonly used on local area networks to connect
different users via fileservers and workstations. Traditional multi-user systems
operating under such networks allow different users to share information
simultaneously from a common hard drive by simply locking and unlocking records.
CDI Premium's client/server implementation goes beyond the "large shared
hard disk on a network" concept. It leverages both the client's and the
server's capabilities by incorporating "intelligent handshaking", not
just data sharing. In the real world this translates to reduced network traffic,
improved performance, and reduced vulnerability to data corruption. Implementing
CDI Premium converts your fileserver into a database server processing all
database requests from individual clients.
