1.硬件:
顾名思义,硬件只是计算机的物理组成部分,即输入设备,处理设备,输出设备和存储设备,以及使计算机设备工作和执行任务的硬件。
2.中间件:
顾名思义,中间件只是一种处理各种功能(如数据管理,应用程序服务,身份验证,API管理等)并向应用程序提供服务的软件。
硬件和中间件之间的区别:
Hardware | Middleware |
---|---|
Hardware are physical parts or devices or components that together makes computer system. | Middleware are software lies between operating system and application. |
It is used to facilitate computing operations along with taking input and output or storing computed results. | It provide common services and capabilities to application other than what’s is offered by operating system. |
Features of hardware includes processor, disk space, memory, usability, etc. | Features of middleware includes reusability, self-discovery, self-configuration, flexibility, integration, etc. |
Benefits of hardware includes reduce costs, improve customer service, develop effective communication, increase efficiency, etc. | Benefits of middleware includes streamline process, improve efficiency, create different types of networked application, etc. |
Its main purpose is make computer system work efficiently. | Its main purpose is to enable communication and data management for distributed applications and connects two software together. |
Hardware’s are important for computer to work properly and computer cannot function without computer hardware’s. | Middleware support modern and popular runtimes for a variety of uses cases and thats why it is important. |
Hardware are hard, physical and can be touched. | Middleware are software’s that cannot be touched. |
Hardware’s are mostly visible. | Middleware’s are mostly invisible. |
Hardware’s are designed to support functions such as input, processing, output, secondary storage and communication. | Middleware’s are designed to support number of application architectures and eliminate difficulty of integration. |
