Oracle Performance Network Considerations (architecture-related)
In today's environment, it is rare to see monolithic database systems
that perform all of the processing for an application. Rather, we tend to see distributed environments that may consist of two-tiered or
three-tiered client-server architectures. In a three-tiered client-server architecture, we have three layers: the database server, the application servers, and the clients. The Slide Show below illustrates this.

1) Three Tier 1

2) Three Tier 2

3) Three Tier 3

4) Three Tier 4

We will discuss this in detail in a later module.
In a distributed Oracle environment, we have a network administrator who ensures that network traffic remains optimized. The NA is responsible for
all aspects of network configuration and network traffic. The next lesson looks at disk I/O.
