Abstract
Today’s enterprise-scale information systems comprise of complex vertical tiers of database, application, web, and mobile servers. Horizontal tiers of OLTP and OLAP systems add further complexity to enterprise information management. Historically, such introduction of vertical and horizontal tiers was inevitable to address the complexity and performance problems in the course of building up enterprise applications by divide and conquer. However, these tiers have accumulated so much redundancy and overhead over time, making the overall system difficult and expensive to maintain.
