n-Tier Architecture

We offer a complete range of bespoke software development services including analysis, design, development and support for n-Tiered solutions.n-Tier architecture means an application is separated into multiple layers or “n” number of tiers. Normally applications are divided into three tiers: a presentation tier, which the user actually sees; an application tier where business logic resides; and a data storage tier. All three tiers work together to make a single application, they also act independently. This approach to software development has some very handy benefits.

Security, Scale, Maintenance

Software built using n-Tier architecture is very secure. It lets you enforce security differently for each tier. You might want more protection around your business logic and valuable data than your presentation tier. n-Tier architecture lets you scale-up each tier as required, so your applications can grow with your company. Your software is also much easier to maintain. You can perform maintenance tasks on one tier without having to touch the others. Finally, it’s easier to upgrade and modify your applications. Once again, upgrades can be performed on a single tier without meddling with the others. You could add new business rules to the logic layer if your company opens new offices overseas, for example.

Mobile Apps

You can add multiple presentation layers with n-Tier architecture, which is especially useful for mobile applications. Each presentation layer then renders a completely different user experience depending on the device it’s accessed on. That means we only have to create one app to serve all devices rather than build multiple native applications. That’s a big time, money and resources saving.

The key benefits of n-Tier architecture:

	Extremely secure

	Easily scalable

	Easily maintained

	Easily upgraded and modified

	Excellent solution for mobile apps
