eCADinfo - Deployment Options

Engineering Data Management System

The eCADinfo client-server version can be installed in two primary configurations. The selection of a particular configuration is primarily governed by performance and maintainability and are explained below.

Since all components are installed on the client machine itself, this option provides for best performance. However, each client machine must be upgraded to install a new version of the software reducing the maintainability of this option. This option is recommended only in case of low network bandwidth.

This option increases the maintainability of the system since components that undergo changes are primarily related to the Application and Business Tiers. Further, the Presentation and the Database Tier Components that are accesses the most are installed locally thus providing the best performance for these operations. This option therefore provides the best balance between performance and maintainability.
