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.
