DCE Technology
 

Hello buddy I want to know about the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Technology please tell me??

Re: DCE Technology
 

The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) is a software system urbanized in the near the beginning 1990s by a consortium that included Apollo Computer (later part of Hewlett-Packard), IBM, Digital apparatus Corporation, and others. The DCE supplies a framework and toolkit for developing client/server applications.

The framework includes a remote procedure call (RPC) mechanism known as DCE/RPC, a naming (directory) service, a time service, an authentication service and a distributed file system (DFS) known as DCE/DFS.

1) In network computing, DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) is an industry-standard software technology for setting up and managing computing and data replace in a system of distributed computers.

DCE is normally used in a larger network of computing systems that include different size servers scattered geographically.

DCE uses the client/server model.

Using DCE, application users may use applications and data at remote servers.

Application programmers need not be aware of where their programs will run or where the data will be located.

2) In computer data transmission, DCE (Data Communication Equipment) is the RS-232C interface that a modem or other serial device uses in exchanging data with the computer.

For further information concerning the DCE interface and its relationship to the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface, see RS-232C.
