The platform service layers handle the processing details for the application layer. Without this overhead, application development is simplified. Developers write business rules as system Actions that are bundled into Services. Services can be seamlessly interconnected with any other application, Service or Action to complete a given business process. All applications, UIs, and marketspaces share a common resource layer for transparent service interaction, database access, and external application access.
System programmers use a single, consistent method of accessing external resources.
The system manages the resources for the programmer so that it is possible to use resources without an intimate knowledge of the methods they contain. The Consortio Framework's cluster load balancing and fail over scheme provides high scalability across multiple servers in multiple locations to support mission-critical enterprise operation. The PM spans the enterprise to manage the coordination of application and data resources ensuring 100 percent transaction integrity with complete rollback. PM control spans both internal and external resources and synchronous and asynchronous actions. It assures optimal resource utilization and processing efficiency in a distributed environment.
