Subject:What's the good word? (clients and servers) From:"Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Fri, 10 Nov 2000 08:31:25 -0500
K (who might be Kevin McLauchlan, though his sig line isn't clear on the
issue <g>), wonders: <<Suppose you had some products that addressed
medium-high security client/user and low-volume server applications and you
had some products that addressed enterprise, extreme-security
high-performance applications... but much of the terminology was common
across the product lines. What would be some words you might use to
differentiate between them.?>>
You'd suggested "Client/Server" was too limiting, but if that's a correct
description of the architecture, then limiting or not, it's the correct
description. You haven't given us enough details about audience or
application, but based on the limited information you provided, I'd probably
emphasize the security and speed aspects, just as you've done in framing the
question.
