Microsoft DCOM Training and Certification

DCOM is a favoured method for developers to use in writing client or server applications for Windows. With DCOM, communication to software objects can be upgraded, so applications aren't required to upgrade each time the software object changes. Objects are software units that perform on specific functions. These functions are executed as dynamic-link libraries so that variations in the functions, including the way the function works, can be made without reworking and recompiling the applications that demand them.

Administrators can select to run DCOM applications on local or remote computers, and can make change the configuration for well-organized load balancing.

DCOM forms upon remote procedure call (RPC) technology by giving an easy to use mechanism for participating distributed applications on a network. A distributed application consists of several processes that work together to accomplish a single task. Unlike other inter process communication (IPC) mechanisms; DCOM gives you an extraordinary degree of control over security structures, such as approvals and domain authentication. It can be used to begin applications on other computers or to take part in Web browser applications that operates on the Microsoft ActiveX platform.

DCOM allows developments to be efficiently distributed to several computers so that the client and server modules of an application can be located in optimal positions on the network. Processing happens transparently to the user since DCOM handles this function. Thus, the user can contact and share information without requiring to know where the application mechanisms are located. If the client and server mechanisms of an application are situated on the same computer, DCOM can be used to transfer data within the processes. DCOM is a method of independent and connects any 32-bit program that is a DCOM aware.
