Intergalactic Client/Server Computing Nested Transactions Three Waves of Client/Server Computing A Simple Client/Server Model Client/Server Software Infrastructure	In today's Ethernet era, there are four overlapping client/server paradigms--SQL databases, TP monitors, groupware, and distributed objects. The next big wave is about to catapult them all into the intergalactic client/server era. - by Robert Orfali, Dan Harkey, and Jeri Edwards
Scale Up with TP Monitors THE FOUR ACID PROPERTIES Process per Client: X x Y x Z Connections Process per Server: X+Z Connections Process per Partition: X+1 Connections per Server Three-Ball Model: Routers Have X+A Connections TP-Lite vs. TP-Heavy	When client/server applications grow to accommodate hundreds or thousands of clients, today's operating systems break down. Here's how TP monitors come to the rescue. - by Jim Gray and Jeri Edwards
