Question:

Suppose you are responsible for the design of a new order entry and sales analysis system for a national chain of auto part stores. Each store has a PC that supports office func tions. The company also has regional managers who travel from store to store working with the local managers to pro- mote sales. There are four national offices for the regional managers, who each spend about 1 day a week in their office and 4 on the road. Stores place orders to replenish stock on a daily basis, based on sales history and inventory levels. The company uses high-speed dial-in lines and modems to connect store PCs into the company's main computer. Each regional manager has a laptop computer with a modem and a network connection for times when the manager is in the office. Would you recommend a client/server distrib- uted system for this company and, if so, which architecture. would you recommend? Why?
