Benefits of SNA Server

Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) is a component-based transaction processing system for developing, deploying, and managing high-performance, scaleable, and robust enterprise, Internet, and intranet server applications.

You can use Transaction Server to deploy scalable server applications built from ActiveX components. Transaction Server allows you to focus on solving business problems instead of on the programming application infrastructure. This lesson describes MTS components and transactions, and describes how MTS calls components .

Transaction Server is based on proven transaction processing methods , but its significance goes beyond transaction process monitoring. It is a simple programming model and execution environment for distributed, component-based server applications.

Applications are composed of collections of ActiveX components that provide the business functions. These components are developed as if for a single user . By installing and executing these components within the Transaction Server environment, the server application automatically scales to support many concurrent clients with high performance and reliability.

Transaction Server provides an application programming model that shields you from these complexities. It allows you to focus on an application's functions, and thus lowers the cost and time required to build applications for intranets and the Internet.
