Niersbach and her staff upgraded one database server during that first pilot. "We added in other tiers, and then interfaced the application tier with the database tier and did all our testing." Eventually, they tied that server in with the mainframe and the remaining Solaris servers, completing the pilot in about two months. (Linux.com)
Look before leaping into database encryption: Oct 6, 2006
Communications encryption is essential for two-tier applications that interface directly with the database server, since the requesting clients may be anywhere. This isn't necessarily the case for three-tier applications, where there is a middle layer on a server that interfaces with the database and passes results on to the clients. (Search Security, MA)
