 If you are managing an environment that uses NIS, then there are many benefits to be had migrating that data to LDAP.  If you are managing an environment that already has NIS maps in LDAP, chances are you're already making use of RFC2307.  DBIS is the next evolutionary step, and as DBIS can use maps that are defined with the RFC2307 schema, migration is easy and the benefits quick to realise.  For a list of benefits, see [DBIS and RFC2307 - A Comparison].

 * `dbis-cachemgr`: a scalable multi-threaded daemon program (the DBIS server) that runs in the background listening for requests from the local host, obtaining required data from LDAP and managing an in-memory cache.  `dbis-cachemgr` is the back-end used by the `dbis` client tool, Python APIs and NSS library.

 * Pyloom: a Python library invented for DBIS that can be used by any Python program to simplify developing a multi-threaded server application.  This library was developed because the existing Python libraries available for setting up multi-threaded TCP servers were lacking the scalability and flexibility required by DBIS.
