application server
(software)A designer's or developer's suite of
software that helps programmers isolate the business logic in their programs from the platform-related code.
Application servers can handle all of the application
logic and connectivity found in client-server
applications. Many application servers also offer
features such as transaction management, clustering and
failover, and load balancing; nearly all offer ODBC
support.
Application servers range from small footprint, web-based processors for intelligent appliances or remote embedded devices, to complete environments for assembling, deploying, and maintaining scalable multi-tier applications across an enterprise.
