The reason I'm only "pretty sure" is that your contect makes me wonder what is shared with what, and why anybody cares.
Normally, a web server may run a single application (a dedicated server) or many applications (a shared server) or even one application may run on multiple servers (distributed). This last case has synchronisation issues but, apart from that, it should all be pretty much transparent to the user or other programmes.
I would normally have no hesitation in translating it this way but it's normally pretty transparent as to whether the web application is running on a shared or dedicated server. I can't understand why they bothered to point it out at all.
Of course, context is everything and this may be some sort of executive overview designed to impress management by cramming in as many buzzwords as possible... |
