Validate for IT Managers

Validate uses the latest web architecture to maximise performance and simplify integration.

System Architecture

Validate implements a full n-tier client/server architecture with the client implemented entirely within a browser environment. The client application is not a traditional browser-based HTML client, rather it is a fully functional UI implemented in JavaScript and Dynamic HTML providing the interactive behaviours more commonly associated with fat-client desktop applications. Validate makes extensive use of standards-based web services (SOAP over HTTP/S) for communication between the client and server tiers. As a result, all facets of Validate have been exposed for easy integration with EAI platforms and other web services technologies including orchestration engines such as:

All of the Validate functionality is delivered through a common and intuitive web browser interface, known as "AJAX" (or Asynchronous JavaScript And Xml), with no additional client software requirement.
