The Network

• Although the network is not a tier of R12 E-Business Suite’s three-tier architecture, it is a critical component that makes it all work.

• R12 EBS allows access through multiple channels including internal networks (LANs/WANs) and external networks (Internet/VPNs).

• All of the choices in the network will ultimately affect your performance, for good or bad.
