Today, the convergence of Internet and Windows computing technologies promises exciting new opportunities for savvy businesses: to create a new generation of computing solutions that dramatically improve the responsiveness of the organization, to more effectively use the Internet and the Web to reach customers directly, and to better connect people to information any time or any place. When a technology system delivers these results, it is called a Digital Nervous System.
A Digital Nervous System relies on connected PCs and integrated software to make the flow of information rapid and accurate. It helps everyone act faster and make more informed decisions. It prepares companies to react to unplanned events. It allows people focus on business, not technology.Creating a true Digital Nervous System takes commitment, time, and imagination.
It is not something every company will have the determination to do. But those who do will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. In creating a Digital Nervous System, organizations face many challenges: How can they take advantage of new Internet technologies while preserving existing investments in people, applications, and data? How can they build modern, scalable computing solutions that are dynamic and flexible to change? How can they lower the overall cost of computing while making complex computing environments work.
Microsoft Windows DNA
Microsoft Windows Distributed interNet Applications Architecture (Windows DNA) is Microsoft's framework for building a new generation of highly adaptable business solutions that enable companies to fully exploit the benefits of the Digital Nervous System. Windows DNA is the first application architecture to fully embrace and integrate the Internet, client/server, and PC models of computing for a new class of distributed computing solutions. Using the Windows DNA model, customers can build modern, scalable, multitier business applications that can be delivered over any network. Windows DNA applications can improve the flow of information within and without the organization, are dynamic and flexible to change as business needs evolve, and can be easily integrated with existing systems and data. Because Windows DNA applications leverage deeply integrated Windows platform services that work together, organizations can focus on delivering business solutions rather than on being systems integrators.
