Network Computing Architecture (NCA) in Oracle

Introduction

NCA
NCA refers to Network Computing Architecture (NCA).
  • NCA supports Client/Server.
  • NCA supports Internet.
  • NCA supports Object Technology.
  • NCA is multi-tier architecture.
Network Computing Architecture (NCA) is the first cross platform environment to develop and deploy the network centric Applications, using open and accepted defacto standards seamlessly across both the Web and the corporate enterprise.
 
Network Computing Architecture provides a unifying framework, which allows the different worlds of Client/Server, the Web and distributed object technology CORBA to share a common computing model, based on the standards.
 
Network Computing Architecture provides a foundation software platform, which enables universal connectivity and flexible extensibility to every component on an Application.

Network Computing Architecture supports a wide range of platform such as-
  • Client/Server
  • World Wide Web (WWW)
  • Object Technology

Client/Server Architecture
 
Clients/Server Architecture is divided into two parts, which are-
  • A Front End or a Client portion.
  • A Back End or a server portion.

WWW (World Wide Web)
 
World Wide Web (WWW) is an internet navigation tool, which helps in retrieving widely dispersed information throughout the world.

Object Technology
 
Object Technology helped in designing an object oriented database, whose design is based on Object Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD). This technology gives the traditional Oracle RDBMS extent to include object oriented concepts and structures.

Summary
 
Thus, we learnt, Network Computing Architecture (NCA) supports a wide range platform like Client/Server, internet, object-technology, multi-tier architecture.
