JINI (1)
Simple, Object-oriented, Java-based, Network-centric service architecture
Pronounced “Gee-nee”: set of services and protocols
Java’s “write once, run everywhere” philosophy can be the way to simplify network design
A Jini-compliant device (disk tower) connects directly to an IP-based network
- other nodes on the network will detect the device and will download the drivers required directly from the device
- any computer with JVM can run the driver
Java language is assumed to be everywhere
