==The CNC architecture==
Oracle is continuing to develop the CNC technology and will incorporate key elements of the CNC technology into its Oracle Fusion project which will pull together technologies from JDE, [[PeopleSoft]] and its own application software technologies.
 
In the CNC architecture, a company's JD Edwards (JDE) [[business software]] applications run transparently insulated from both the [[database]] where the business data is stored as well as from the client [[computer]]'s underlying [[operating system]] and all other intervening JDE business applications servers. In layman's terms, the business programs don't "care" where the data is or which operating system is being used on any of the [[end user]] computers. Neither do the applications servers on which business programs run need to directly "know" what database systems are being called on the data end or back end. The CNC architecture keeps track of this through various database tables that point the business applications to the servers that run or execute the business applications and also include database connection tools called database drivers that tell the system also where the database servers are and what specific databases to do lookups, data inserts and data extracts from. Because of the key nature of the underlying architecture, a sound CNC infrastructure is critical to the success of a JD Edwards OneWorld installation or implementation. The back-end databases that are supported include [[Oracle database]], [[Microsoft SQL Server]], and [[IBM DB2]] databases. The application server can run on [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] platforms, [[Unix]]/[[Linux]], and the IBM System i (formerly known as iSeries and AS/400). The [[web server]] can be [[IBM WebSphere]] (on Windows, Unix/Linux, or System i) or the [[Oracle Weblogic Server]] (on Windows or Unix/Linux).
