Web Enabling Your HP 3000
CSL’s LINKWAY Solution
Web Architecture
The key to multi-tier web architecture is the integration from the web application server to the
enterprise data, which must be presented in a totally secure manner. Performance is a critical
issue where thin server/client connectivity is essential to optimize performance. It is self evident
that the transfer of large volumes of data to a server application creates unnecessary overhead
on the network environment resulting in a low end user adoption of the application.
LINKWAY Server
The LINKWAY solution, when resident on the HP e3000 Database server, is capable of managing
980 concurrent processes per socket connection. LINKWAY is truly robust to ensure continued
high volume transaction processing and provide non-stop 24 hour by 7-day operational capabili-
ty. Inherent software management utilities allow systems managers to identify and manage indi-
vidual processes, which means that specific rogue processes can be terminated without
recourse to closing entire socket connections. LINKWAY also provides the ultimate in security
features, including Application Profiling - a facility that ensures only authorized applications
are able to access the database. All transactions are fully encrypted, adding additional network
security to the web application. For ultimate protection from external attack, LINKWAY
can deliver serial connectivity that places the HP e3000 systems outside the web/network
environment.
LINKWAY Client
When installed on the Web Server/Client, LINKWAY integrates seamlessly with all major web
developments, including Microsoft Active Server Pages, Cold Fusion, PHP and Amazon from
Intelligent Environments. In determining Web infrastructures, it is important to consider the
impact of significant “web activity” on the HP e3000. Standard multi-tier web architectures are
designed to deliver static information and applications at the Server/Client level and immediate
responsiveness from the database tier to active pages of the application.
Ease of Use
Installation of LINKWAY can be undertaken within minutes, immediately web enabling the
HP e3000 and providing immediate access for all authorized users to the data repository on the
HP e3000. Included within the standard functionality of the product are the integrated date man-
agement, numeric scaling and multi-lingual facilities, which present, store and retrieve specialist
character sets.
LINKWAY from CSL is the technology best suited to implement HP e3000 users’ preferred web
infrastructure. With almost all web development and web applications available on NT or
Windows-based platforms it is necessary to provide links to Databases resident on HP e3000
systems in order to maximize the benefit of the HP e3000 system within the web infrastructure.
