Positioning Application Center

Application Center is a strategic server product in the .NET Enterprise Servers tier. Application Center was developed to provide a competitively priced, yet robust, tool for scaling and managing a broad range of Web-based business applications. Its feature set, which includes load-balancing and server synchronization, to name but two, is not limited to Web applications, and can support COM+ applications. Version 1 is integrated with core Microsoft Windows 2000 Server services, such as Network Load Balancing (NLB), and because of its level of integration, extends the core operating system services by providing tools such as application publishing. It is positioned in .NET Enterprise Servers tier so that it will be able to fully integrate with other middle tier servers and services, as well as the development tools layer.

As we move through the elements of the Web computing model in the next section, you'll gain a better understanding of Application Center's role and an appreciation of the features it brings to Web-based applications.
