How does the Application Linked Server Technology differ from RDM Servers Server Extensions?
Server Extensions and Application Linked Servers can, and should, be used side-by-side, to support the most efficient local and client/server data access in a single system.

Both are part of the solution that includes leveraging the emerging network infrastructure of powerful SMP servers and multi-threaded operating systems such as Linux and Windows Servers.
