Planning


The following approach was decided in order to meet the client’s requirements:

i.After taking all scenarios and requirements into consideration and looking at the cost factor, the Brainvire team decided to implement Asp.Net application for allowing client to manage the content

i.A new intuitive design and site overhaul was done in order to attract its end-users by giving them clear visibility on important areas

Architecture


i.Business Access Layer:

This layer contains the business logics, validations related to data. This layer also contains Model-View-Controller which efficiently relates the user interfaces with the under lying data models.

i.Data Access Layer: This layer contains MSSQL Server Database, Tables, Stored Procedures and so on. It also helps Business Layer to connect the data and perform required action by returning data or manipulating data

i.PL: This layer contains .asp or html where data is presented to the user and inputs are taken from the user.


The main advantages of the 3-Tier Architecture are:

Flexibility – By separating the business logic

Maintainability – Changes to the components in one layer have no effect on any other layers

Reusability – Separating the application into multiple layers makes it easier to implement re- usable components

Scalability – 3-Tier architecture allows distribution of application components across multiple servers

Reliability – 3-Tier architecture if deployed on multiple servers
