Object Pooling
A traditional client/server application maps clients directly to server resources in a one-to-one relationship. If there are 10 clients in a system, 10 data objects will be in use. If 1000 clients are attempting to commit data, there will be 1000 data objects and potentially 1000 simultaneous database connections—a much less scalable situation.
To counter this problem, COM+ introduces different types of instance management: object pooling and JIT activation. Object pooling is the most significant of the two.
