Introduction:
In this 21st century we required a multi functional system to operate on different platforms, which can access data easily, the main purpose of a Heterogeneous server is to establish a Heterogeneous network that can connect computers and other devices with different operating systems and/or protocols. For example, local area networks (LANs) that connect Microsoft Windows and Linux based personal computers with Apple Macintosh computers are heterogeneous. The word heterogeneous network is also used in wireless networks using different access technologies.
1.2 Objective :
The main objective of this document is to illustrate the requirements of the project HETEROGENEOUS SERVER. The document gives the detailed description of the both functional and non functional requirements proposed by the client. The document is developed after a number of consultations with the client and considering the complete requirement specifications of the given Project. The final product of the team will be meeting the requirements of this document.
1.3 Scope:
The Fiction is a derivative of Heterogeneous Distributed Database Computing. The prime goal is to establish distributed computing amongst heterogeneous databases, at the same time hiding details of the network from the user. To achieve our goal, this project establishes a middle layer in between the user and databases on the network. This layer will act as an intermediate which takes information as input from one side and deliver it to the other after converting it into the desired form.
1.4 Salient Features :
• The Server enables the users to interact with a network of heterogeneous databases easily.
• This is helpful for government organizations, offices etc.
• This is a good tool that helps to administer, organize the databases even when they are not homogeneous.
• It provides facilities equivalent to a homogeneous distributed network.
• It cuts down the cost of transferring heterogeneous databases to a homogeneous platform & other costs too, greatly.
