RPC as Client/Server Framework

What is it? Takes care the protocol nastiness, don’t spend your time to create yet another protocol layer. Well established technology Comes from SUN Unix MS Exchange/Outlook and TAPI are based on this Meant to be used for Client/Server architecture Essentially the client runs a procedure or function on the server Works with Windows, Linux and Unix based systems

Where could this be used? Virtualization systems – Bunch of virtual clients can communicate to the server which drives the PIKA driver. Windows application could run the Warp as if it was part of it’s system Multi-application access Cloud Resources – Bunch of PCs with PIKA Driver can be seen as just another resource in the system – May provides load balancing between nodes – Nodes can run a thin layer to communicate with main application The Main Application can be used to communicate with different server versions. – AOB/MC 6.5, MC 6.6, etc. – AOH GP 2.6, GP 2.7

Benefits Better redundancy failover – 1 active app, others can be on stanby Isolates application from server malfunction – Can continue working and restart gracefully Platform agnostic (OS, AOB, AOH, other vendors) Scalable – Add/remove servers dynamically
