Jini
Technology Enables You to Simply Connect
We’ve talked
about what Jini technology is; now let’s take a look at what Jini technology does.
Like all the best
ideas, Jini technology is based on a simple concept. Devices should work together. They should simply connect. No drivers to find, no
operating system issues, no weird cables and
connectors.
Yet Jini
technology also introduces some exciting new concepts and capabilities. I’ll mention them briefly now and we’ll look at each of them in greater
detail in the next few slides.
Instant On: When you plug a Jini device into the network, it works.
Right away. No fuss. Its services and resources are
immediately available.
Impromptu community: Jini software lets all devices work together,
so you can create your own personal network or
community--any time, anywhere. Connect your home
appliances so you can control them centrally. Connect your office equipment so people can share resources. Connect to services from
the road. Interact with other Jini communities quickly
and easily.
Resilient: Jini technology communities adapt very quickly to
changes. As users come and go, the community lives
on. And the Jini community is always available, while the Service Age allows the systems to be more
tolerant and redundant.
Special delivery: Jini services are available on demand, whenever
they are needed.
