Synopsis

This book updates, expands and goes beyond the author's two most recent texts on local area networking, providing experienced data processing professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to understand and implement the logical extension of LANs - client/server computing. It covers a broad range of client/server challenges and concerns, while focusing on technical considerations for the server end of the equation. Topics covered include the changes in local area networking connectivity protocols, the advances in visual information technologies and the question of portability. The book also includes interesting insights into the developing strategies of such major corporations as Citibank and Hewlett-Packard, and extensive case histories of client/server successes and failures.
