Perceptive Content is a true n-tier application. This architecture eliminates any client-side, database server connectivity requirements, allows the collocation or distribution of all key server applications across different operating systems, and minimizes the need for database specific business logic while eliminating the need for stored procedures.

Physical Perspective of Perceptive Content Architecture

Communication between Perceptive Content Server and other components occurs over TCP/IP using a socket-based communication protocol defined by Perceptive Software to achieve best possible performance. The socket communication consists of a series of calls that the clients use to request information from the Perceptive Content Server.

The socket communication between Perceptive Content Server and Integration Server implements AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), to encrypt the transport channel. The Perceptive Content Server provides the content by accessing the database and the OSM file system.

The following sections describe the physical aspects of the software, as well as hardware and network information. For the most up-to-date hardware information, refer to the Product Technical Specifications document.
