Which statement is NOT true?a. In a typical two-tier client-server architecture, the server handles both application and database duties.b. Client computers are responsible for presenting data to the user and passing user input back to the server.c. Two-tier architecture is for local area network applications where the demand on the server is restricted to a relatively small population of users.d. The database and application functions are separated in the three-tier model. e. In three-tier client-server architectures, one tier is for user presentation, one is for database and applications access, and the third is for Internet access.
Which statement best describes the issue of distributed data processing (DDP)?a. The centralized and DDP approaches are mutually exclusive; an organization must choose one approach or the other.b. The philosophy and objective of the organization’s management will determine the extent of DDP in the firm.c. In a minimum DDP arrangement, only data input and output are distributed, leaving the tasks of data control, data conversion, database management, and data processing to be cen- trally managed.d. The greatest disadvantage of a totally distributed environment is that the distributed infor- mation processing unit locations are unable to communicate and coordinate their activities.e. Although hardware (such as computers, database storage, and input/output terminals) can be effectively distributed, the systems development and maintenance tasks must remain centralized for better control and efficiency.
