Server-based computing is a model in which applications
are deployed, managed, supported and executed 100% on a
server. It uses a multi-user operating system and a method
of distributing the presentation of an application’s
interface to a client device.
With server-based computing, client devices, whether “fat”
or “thin”, have instant access to business-critical
applications via the server – without application rewrites
or download. This means improved efficiency when deploying
business critical applications. In addition, server-based
computing works within the current computing infrastructure
and current computing standards and with the current and
future family of Windows-based offerings. This means
improved returns on computing investments – desktops,
networks, application and training. The end result:
Server-based computing is rapidly becoming the most reliable
way to reduce the complexity and total costs associated
with enterprise computing.
Isis fully supports the Server-based computing solutions
of Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix. Whether
you are distributing an application to remote users or an
application internally to various client devices, Isis has
the Server-based computing solution for you. Server-based
computing is ideal for any of the following needs:
- Branch-Office Computing – for manageable, secure application deployment and access over corporate WANs.
- Cross-Platform Computing – for Windows-based application deployment to non-Windows desktop users.
- Web Computing – remote users can access full-function Windows-based applications from web pages.
- Remote Computing - to give high-performance, secure access to business-critical applications over remote connections.
- Thin-Client Device Computing – so vital, Windows-based application can be extended to newer, low-cost devices.
