I recently came to know that, different Information Technology are also based on N-Tier Architecture.

For example, a Web Technology is usually 3-Tier Architecture: The user, The Web Server and The Database Server. But we also develop various applications in N-tier. What are the difference between these two and how are they related to each other.
