Middleware Servers

What is Middleware Server ?

Middleware terminology is nothing but just a software that is placed between client and server architecture. In earlier technology in software domain or basic software development, client (user) interacts with server (where the actual code/data is placed) as request from client to server and server provides appropriate response to user request is called 2-tier architecture. In this architecture user makes direct connection to server with all actual details like hostname, port, username that may attract security issues.


To overcome 2-tier architecture issues, one layer that is Middle layer called Middleware server introduced in between the client(user) and server. In this user does not know about the info of database and host but have to interact with Middleware layer where middleware server will decide to get data from server where ever server or database exists.

To understand 3-tier architecture see below image..............
