Nightmares or gimmicks? Application server is afraid to die

In the early hours of October 20 in Beijing, at the HTML5 Live Conference 2011 meeting in London, Kaazing co-founder and Ceojonas Jacobi announced that the traditional application server would disappear. His rationale is that as demand grows, a new High-performance network platform will enter the market and eventually replace the application server.

"The main reason for the current application server is to switch static files over the network to use the network as an e-commerce platform," he said at the conference, "but this technology has never been used to handle real-time, interactive communication between Web browsers and back-end servers, Nor can it cope with the explosive growth of mobile devices that can connect to enterprise information systems based on networks. ”

Traditional network architecture

Jacobi further explained that the original web and business requirements opened the market for application servers. However, this adds to the complexity of the web infrastructure and adds to the cost of operating the IT department.

Real-time Network architecture

Today, a limited number of business applications and user experiences can be implemented through application servers, but if the communication base is simplified and the infrastructure is streamlined, the data can be freely transmitted from the backend enterprise information system to the user without any cost burden, network latency issues, There is no complex infrastructure.
