Technical Overview
From a high-level perspective, the Enterprise architecture as used in SDL Trados 2009 Server is a classic
four-tier architecture. It consists of:
- a presentation layer with the SDL Trados Studio 2009 client and the web-based administration client;
- a web server layer based on Internet Information Server (IIS) which hosts the router for secure and flexible application access through both Intranet and Internet
- an application service layer which manages the transaction communication from clients to the user management and translation memory databases;
- a database layer which hosts the database back-end and stores the translation units and user
management data in the supported Microsoft SQL Server database engines and provides business logic such as fuzzy matching, for example.
