Product architecture

The product architecture of IBM® InfoSphere® Global Name Management consists of the component APIs, IBM NameWorks APIs, and the client and server applications that communicate with these APIs.

Server applications are applications on the server side that are built upon and provide the functionality of the component APIs. IBM InfoSphere Global Name Management includes the NameHunter and Distributed Search server applications. You can also develop your own server applications by using the component and IBM NameWorks APIs.

In addition to the applications and components below, version 6.0 includes Enterprise Name Search, a separately installed set of components with a Web application interface to make it easier to manage, maintain, and perform name searches.
