- Okay. I'll ask it. Is Client-Server going down the tubes in
- favor of peer-to-peer?
-
- Are networks like Novell, Banyan, etc. that rely on the logical
- star of client-server a thing of the past now that Unix and
- Microsoft's Windows for Workgroups and Windows NT are on the
- horizon?
-
- It would seem that business is more suited to a peer-to-peer
- environment, although IS typically isn't. How do we IS'ers
- maintain our role (or any role) as the business units start to
- welcome the new peer philosophy? Especially if they embrace
- Microsoft's solutions, which will mean they can support and
- develop with minimal man-hours and without IS?
-
- Looking for input...
