| Ubiquitous global network Built on TCP/IP networks from intranets to the internet, the web offers the first platform that is universally accessible from the data center to the desktop to the networking device. Very soon, every computer, server, and device will be networked, and applications will easily connect users across departments, companies, and continents. Standards based infrastructure The web is the first large-scale platform built entirely on industry standards. This new wave of "open computing" promises a level of interoperability and extensibility that was unheard of with previous platforms. It means systems can be built that connect with a wide range of new and legacy technologies - never locking IT organisations into the whims of a single vendor. Universal client Finally, the web browser offers a true universal client for network applications. With the adoption of this client, development groups can create and deliver applications with rich graphical user interfaces without installing new software on the desktop – radically reducing the cost of application deployment and maintenance. At the same time, the browser enables a content-rich, intuitive user interface that eliminates the need for expensive end-user training. Source Coldfusion 4.5 whitepaper. |
