ICE(Internet Communications Engine)是ZeroC提供的一款高性能的中间件，基于ICE可以实现电信级的解决方案。在设计网站架构的时候可以使用ICE实现对网站应用的基础对象操作，将基础对象操作和数据库操作封装在这一层，在业务逻辑层以及表现层(java,php,.net,python)进行更丰富的表现与操作，从而实现比较好的架构。基于ICE的数据层可以在未来方便的进行扩展。ICE支持分布式的部署管理，消息中间件，以及网格计算等等。 -ICE (Internet Communications Engine) is ZeroC provide a high-performance middleware, based on ICE can achieve telecom-grade solution. Site architecture in the design of ICE can be used when the basis for achieving the object of the operation of web applications will be based on object manipulation and database operations encapsulated in this layer, the business logic and presentation layer (java, php,. Net, python) more performance and operation of the rich in order to achieve a better structure. ICE-based data layers can easily be expanded in the future. ICE supports distributed deployment management, messaging middleware, and grid computing and so on.
