1.1.1 Features of the Web

Remote site

Using Web Browsers, all resources on the network can be accessed, so that client system can be easily connected to remote systems.

Cost reduction

Using Web Browsers, client machine setup/maintenance work can be simplified.

Independence from the client system

Using Web Browsers, a business system independent of the client system can be built. These systems can also be used in the mobile computing environment.

Distribution of the load on the server

The server, if it can be connected to the network, enables various business systems to be distributed.

Security

As one of the features, the Web can be easily connected to the client system. In this case, however, there is a problem regarding security. When building such a system, self-defense measures need be taken, for example, limiting the access to the domain to which the client is connected via Web Servers, or setting user restrictions in the application.
