Ding! Switchboard! |
Part of the unique way Ding! works rests with the switchboard that serves the information to the Ding! clients. While serving the same functions as a traditional server, a Ding! Switchboard accomplishes these tasks using technology to make it innovative, efficient, and stable. Ding! Switchboards, whether hosted for public or private use, allow the administrator a wide range of options for client organization and control. Again taking clues from some of the architectural innovations that made the World Wide Web so powerful, a switchboard does not sit between clients as a permanent server for client communications. The switchboard simply manages address information for users, connects them to each other, and then essentially steps out of the way. This architecture avoids many of the problems associated with traditional server centered network model. Switchboards work quickly to modify address information (IP number, et cetera) for clients, as well as to update clients when any information changes. But just like switchboard operator of days gone past, once that connection is made, the clients do the majority of the computing and communicating. For more information regarding our Ding! Switchboard, access the information available on our web site. |
