Unless you are a software developer , it's likely you'll never see most of the work that goes in to our web application architecture. However, the architecture discipline that we build into every solution is the foundation of our open source integration strategy. We use industry-proven enterprise patterns across both the Java and LAMP technology families to support every aspect of software development, from code reuse and unit testing toperformance and scalability.

The architecture discipline reduces software complexity through abstraction and separation of concerns. Reducing complexity lowers your total cost (TCO) -initial development, ongoing maintenance, and future enhancements.By hiring and training developers skilled in these common implementation patterns, we are able to focus less on technology and more on your business. Once we collect your requirements, we are able to leverage the depth of knowledge to design a solution to meet both your functional and non-functional requirements.

We utilize a number of architectural patterns for building N-Tier web applications. These patterns provide reusable design templates and define repeatable processes for defining and implementing application software. To understand the application architecture, we need to consider both horizontal and vertical design elements:

• Horizontal: A set of shared infrastructure components in a single architectural layer, responsible for a particular kind of task for different sets of business data.
• Vertical: A set of application components and data specific to a particular business process, cutting across multiple architectural layers.

Horizontal layers describe components with responsibilities that are common across all vertical applications. Conversely, a single vertical application will cut across many horizontal layers. Software frameworks tend to address specific horizontal architectural layers. Architecture patterns apply to both the horizontal and vertical design elements.
