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 – so remote users can access full-function Windows-based applications from web pages.
Remote Computing – to give high-performance, secure access to business-critical application over remote, dial-up connections.
Thin-Client Device Computing – so vital, Windows-based application can be extended to newer, low-cost devices.
