Reduce the cost of desktop computing with a customized Server-Based Computing Solution.
The Server Based Computing approach to delivering critical business applications to end-user devices through the use of Thin Client computing technology is a solution that should not be overlooked in your IT strategy.
With this approach, it does not matter if the client device is a full-featured PC, a Macintosh system, a UNIX workstation, X-terminal, or a true thin client device like a Windows-based terminal or hand-held (wireless) information appliance.
With server based computing solutions, 100% of the applications and data reside and execute on the server.
server architecture
This computing approach can reduce the cost of desktop computing. Application installations, updates and additions are made only once - on the server - and then are instantly available to all users anywhere, with exceptional performance. IT professionals have the ability to manage applications on the network from a single point and provide enterprise-level security for data and applications.
The diagram shown to the right is a high level view of the Server Based Computing Architecture.
