If you need
information from data that is stored on a remote computer, and you
do not want to move a copy of the data to the client, you can benefit
from combining Compute Services and Data Transfer Services.
Reasons for not moving
a copy of the data might include the following:
-
The amount of data is too large.
-
The data is frequently updated.
-
Data duplication is to be avoided.
Regardless of the motivation
for reducing the amount of data that is transferred, incorporating
Compute Services will achieve your goal. Compute Services enables
you to format and pre-process data into a subset or a summarized form
in the server session before transferring the subsequent smaller amount
of data to the client session. This balances the use of CPU cycles
between the client and server sessions and minimizes the amount of
data contributing to network traffic.
