We usually see the presentation layer of any application, also known as the graphical user interface (GUI). A user interface makes it easy for humans to interact with the application. What we cannot see (beyond the GUI) is the entire application infrastructure that supports the features, services and functionality of the application. It consists of logic layers and data layers that deliver the application services behind the scenes.
An Application Infrastructure Software (AIS) helps businesses in managing this unseen part of any application. It enables businesses to increase the security of their IT operations and decrease capital expenditure scale application resources up or down depending on business needs. The best part about using an Application Infrastructure Software is that it helps in recovering application data easily in case of any disaster. That sounds incredible, we know - so, without further ado, let us check out the top 5 Application Infrastructure Software.
