Advantages of 3-layer architecture over 2-Layer

Dear All,
Can anyone please explain me the advantages of 3-Layer architecture ( Core-Distribution-Access) over 2-Layer Architecture ?
Thanks and Regards.

The CDA model (Cisco's 3 Layer Hiearchical model) is typically used in a medium to large network - although, it can also be used in a small network, it just might not be financially feasible depending on the company's budget. The 3 layer architecture will also help allocate resources better throughout the network. For instance, the core can do its job and ensure high speed packet delivery, the distribution switches can focus on things like routing between VLANs (or subnets) and QoS, while the access layer can focus on delivering data to the end users. This model also allows much better scalability than the two layer model.
The collapsed core architecture (2 layer) is mostly used in small networks. It may be used for perhaps, a small branch office. It takes the above CDA model and collapses it into 2 layers. Either the core/distribution and access model or the core and distribution/access model. Depending on the size of the network, it might be a wise financial decision to take this route instead of the 3 Layer Architecture. Although, from a technical standpoint, the 3 layer model is the way to go.
Here is a link that may provide some more insight:

  • Help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer orde

    help: photoshop cs4 crashes when i drag a layer under or over another layer/try to change layer order
    this problem orcurred suddenly after having used the programm for years.
    i tried to reinstall cs4 and install all available updates, but it di not help...
    please help ! thanks

    What is the exact version and what’s your OS?
    What does the crash report state?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Graphics layer over video Layer problem

    Hello!
    we are blu-ray applications developers and we have a problem with repainting graphics layer over video layer. In MHP this problem is solved using the method call repaint() to the HScene. This Method remove all graphics and paint again. But in Blu-ray is not work correctly. When you have a graphics over video, this graphics don´t disappear when you paint other graphics, because don´t refresh the HScene and all the containers get painted over the others.
    what is the solution of this problem?
    Thanks a lot for your help!
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply.
    As far as I know, targas can only be RGB. I couldn't find a way in Photoshop to work in YCbCr. I have Photoshop CS, so its pretty old, but even on my work computer, which has CS3, I didn't see anything. Next week I'll be installing CS4, so there might be something in that.
    I won't be able to test anything until late tonight, but I'll try several formats to see if they make a difference. I'm wondering if there might also be some kind of option in FCE to convert imported graphics to the correct color space.
    When keying graphics over video in your projects, how do you save them(formate,color space, etc)? Ever see this issue?
    Thanks for your help

  • 3 Layer architecture with program and website

    Hello I hope someone can help me. I'm creating a solution wich holds a program and a website in a 3 layer architecture. Whilst trying to access the data from the database things get dodgy. I'll try to explain my problem.
    I use the following projects: 
    1. InternalProgram: the application
    2. Website: the website ^^
    3. BlCommon: wich holds the business logic common to both the site and the internal program
    4. DAL: the data acces layer wich holds the database and classes to acces the information wich it holds.
    5. Runner: A project to "translate" the dataobjects from the business logic and the DAL database layer. Simply to avoidi circular dependancy
    I can show the products from my database in a form inside my internalprogram layer with no issues. The chain I use is the same when I try to acces the same product data in the website layer. However the website layer returns the following error:
    An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll but was not handled in user code
    Additional information: An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:\<myPathToDatabase>\Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
    My connection string is relative: 
    Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True
    My code requests a list of products:
    public static List<ProductDO> GetAllProducts()
    using (SqlConnection connection = getConnection())
    using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("select id, afbeelding, naam, omschrijving, prijs from Producten", connection))
    connection.Open();
    using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
    List<ProductDO> productsDO = new List<ProductDO>();
    while (reader.Read())
    ProductDO productDO = new ProductDO(
    Convert.ToInt32(reader["id"]),
    reader["afbeelding"].ToString(),
    reader["naam"].ToString(),
    reader["omschrijving"].ToString(),
    Convert.ToDouble(reader["prijs"]));
    productsDO.Add(productDO);
    return productsDO;
    That list is sent to the the businessLayer wich converts it to a list of products after converting it from productDO
    The code to convert from productDO to product:
    public static Product convertFromDo(ProductDO productDO)
    Product product = new Product(productDO.Id, productDO.AfbeeldingsLocatie, productDO.Naam, productDO.Omschrijving, productDO.Prijs);
    return product;
    the code to get the list of products
    public static List<Product> GetAllProducts()
    List<Product> allProducts = new List<Product>();
    List<ProductDO> allProductsDO = DataAccess.GetAllProducts();
    foreach (ProductDO pdo in allProductsDO)
    allProducts.Add(convertFromDo(pdo));
    return allProducts;
    the code to display the list of products in my winform: this code works fine
    List<Product> allProducts = Product.GetAllProducts();
    foreach (Product p in allProducts)
    labelAllProducts.Text += p.Naam + Environment.NewLine;
    however when i do the same thing in my website layer:
    List<Product> allProducts = Product.GetAllProducts();
    foreach (Product p in allProducts)
    labelAllProducts.Text += p.Naam + "<br />";
    it crashes on the dataacces layer line: connection.open();
    Can someone plz help me out?
    Thx

    Regarding the first error where is your db residing? can you use the full path to it instead and try, example:
    Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\User\MyApp\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True
    You say its crashing on connection.Open() what is the error you getting?

  • SWF over DIV Layer

    Hi,
    I'm going trough some difficulties upon trying to make an
    HTML DIV Layer appear over a SWF movie clip embbed on a page.
    The DIV initial status is hidden(display:none) but in a
    certain moment this div must be shown and it should appear over the
    swf movie. The problem is that swf movie always appear over the DIV
    Layer. I've set up the Z-Index and it did not work correctly.How
    can I get this behaviour to make swk appear below the div layer?
    Thanks a lot.

    Not by the method you mention in your subject line -
    All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
    to speak,
    including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
    Active X controls.
    This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
    is not a good
    cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
    if you can be
    confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
    use the Flash
    wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
    properly!).

  • Grouping Adjustment layer with Gradient Fill layer

    Page 151 of "The Missing Manual" suggests that one should be able to group a Levels Adjustment layer with a Gradient Fill layer so that the levels adjustment fades out to one side.
    If I understand this correctly, the setup would be:
    Levels Adjustment Layer (grouped with layer below)
    Gradient Fill layer (with a gradient from Opaque to Transparent)
    Photo in Background layer
    but I cannot get the desired effect of original picture on one side blending through to adjusted levels on the other.
    I can get the desired effect if I dispense with the Gradient Fill layer and simply manually create the gradient on the mask of the Levels Adjustment layer but this loses the advantage of easy adjustment of the gradient.
    [Thanks to those who answered my question about linking a mask to a layer. As this is a separate query, I thought it best to start a new topic]

    Sanders1,
    I thought I'd try it, myself, and got results that I did not expect...
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1OVdT0C7oX46DsPm6TrfT5xxrm3h
    1 - The background image.
    2 - I created a Gradient Fill layer using color (red) to transparent.
    3 - I created a Levels Adjustment layer, set to reduce red and green,
    leaving a blue image.
    4 - I grouped the Levels Adjustment layer with the Gradient Fill layer.
    Is this the type of result you are seeing? I wonder what is the logic.

  • Resolving Layer via Copy or Layer via Cut - Grayed Out

    There are many times you will "place" a picture file inside your photoshop document, and want to resize it, put it in a different layer, or crop the image inside photoshop - but you may find a simple error message or grayed out layer via copy/cut prevents you from doing so.
    To do this, you will most often do this one of three ways:
    1) Select the Marquee tool and outline the area of the image you want to copy or cut
    2) Go to Layer > New > Layer via Cut/Copy
    3) Click Ctrl+J
    Many times, you will find none of these selections work. All options will be greyed out. You may be tempted to create a new layer, and then use one of these options in the new layer. In this case, you will get the error message "Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty."  All these errors are a result of photoshop not identifying pixels that you are trying to cut/copy.
    There is a simple solution to this problem.  Go over to the "Layers" box, and click on the layer listing for the layer where your newly placed image resides. Make sure your image is the only item in this layer, if not relocate the image into a new layer by itself.  Right-click on the layer where your photo is located in the "layers" box and click on "Rasterize Layer".
    Once you do this you will now be able to follow one of the steps above to Layer Via Copy or Layer Via Cut.
    Good luck.

    you will get the error message "Could not make a new layer from the selection because the selected area is empty." All these errors are a result of photoshop not identifying pixels that you are trying to cut/copy.
    I would say they are the result of the active Layer not being a pixel layer or being empty in the selected region, judging from the remedy you describe.
    And what you seem to call »box« goes by the name of »Panel«.

  • Opening documents with custom layer structure, especially default layer unlocked...

    Hi, is it possible to open documents such as jpg screenshots which are apparently a locked layer by default, as instead an unlocked layer?
    Would it even be possible/easy to have a method of opening such documents with the following layers:
    1 original image (unlocked)
    2 blank transparent layer
    3 white locked background
    4 group folder called 'archive' with a copy of the original image, with the group set to invisible
    Could a droplet be made to open documents with such a "precreated" layer set-up?
    For example, I would like to take a screenshot or scan, drag it onto a droplet, and have it open with the layer structure outlined above.
    Thank you thank you thank you...

    "The image is NOT locked."
    Shesh whatever you call it the image the background the initial layer "the so called layer" I would just like to change its default opening to UNLOCKED so at minimum, as I have said four times now, it can be placed in a folder called "Archive" without having to f'ing unlock it...scripting additional opening actions in addition to that at this point must be beyond your imagination
    "Have you tried working on the so called locked layer?"
    HAVE YOU READ THE ORIGINAL QUESTION????
    Working on the background layer is not my primary concern, organizing layers automatically at the start of a workflow is...but nevertheless...erasing part of the background in order to reveal imported images or drawings created beneath it on new layers requires the background be unlocked (so erased sections are transparent rather than black), changing layer order requires unlocking, moving the background on a resized canvas requires unlocking....and of course placing it within a folder requires unlocking -- what the hell is the advantage of it being default locked?? why isn't this optional?
    I can't imagine people working on complex images with multiple folders and forty plus layers in various folders and such -- nevertheless consistently want to leave the background layer just sitting there hanging out in its default locked state. I'm ALWAYS unlocking the damn layer...if only, for the FIFTH TIME, for organizational purposes (to change its layer order and place it within a folder).
    SHESH!
    "Methinks..." Oh please...next time read the question.

  • Advantages of 64 bit Tuxedo over 32 bit Tuxedo

    Hi All,
    I want to migrate Tuxedo 9.1 from 32 bit Tuxedo to 64 bit Tuxedo. Please tell what are the advantages of 64 bit Tuxedo over 32 bit Tuxedo.
    Our Machines on which Tuxedo and Oracle are installed have 64 bit IBM AIX OS. Oracle is also 64 bit but Tuxedo is 32 bit.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: Ravi Ranjan Karn on Feb 17, 2009 8:33 PM

    Dear Todd & Ravi ,
    We recently migrated Tuxedo From 32 bit ( 8.0) to 10.0 64 Bit . Regarding Performace we did not notice much improvment .
    Rather it took more 4GB Ram to run smoothy ( it was running with 6 GB Ram ) .
    We did the upgrade mainly for OS compatability , TSAM and SALT .
    Ravi ,
    regarding your thread related with RAC , here is my understanding .
    Any how we have to configure in ubb to connect to the instance(s)
    As per Oracle - in 10gR2 , its not possible to span global transaction between two instances, it has to be in a Single Instance .( as per them its allowed in 11g , but performance will be impacted which i cannot compromise )
    In this case , how we will make use of the 2nd instance of RAC .?
    u have a common service let say SRVC1 , which is connecting to one schema-1 of database and part of GT and used by more than one application .say SRVC2 , which is connecting to one schema-2 of database and part of GT and used by more than one application .
    in this case how you will , configure tuxedo to use the 2nd instance - which is not possible as per statement 1 .
    Conclusion, as per the current architecture of u r Tuxedo , there is no point in introduction Oracle-RAC,
    but we can use RAC , by modifying Tuxedo
    1. programmatically , change tuxedo to use the SRVC2 , in case a failure occurs in the call to SRVC1
    2. replicate the SRVC1,SRVC2 and connect to the second Instance , route transactions in to this service from some applications .
    3. simple way .. keep a secondary ubbconf2 file to point the second instance , in case the instace1 fails , load the ubbconf2 and run ( but for this u need to bring down the whole tuxedo!!!! )
    this suggestion is totally based on my understanding ... If guys think other way , pls share

    Adding a layer to a set of five will automatically make this the 6th. I cannot see any other way.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer Group Layers or Layer Palette Group from Layers commands.

    Photoshop hangs for nearly 15 seconds when using Layer > Group Layers or Layer Palette > Group from Layers commands. NOT on creating new group and creating layers and drag-n-dropping layers into group manually in Layer Palette. Got a UI design file with nearly 800 layers and lot of groups. This doesn't occur in smaller files. Using OS X Mavericks, Photoshop CC 2014.2.2, Mid 2014 15-inch Retina Macbook Pro.
    I understand that the solution would be just to cut the file into smaller files and design each UI view in a separate file but that would be painful. And it does not seem to be a very hard task to just group layers.

    Does the document also have a lot of layer comps?
    And can you post that document or send me a copy of it so we can see exactly why it is hanging?
