:: Server Based Computing
Recent developments in thin-client technologies has meant that organisations of all sizes who need to link remote sites or users to central resources, are now turning to server-based computing to provide a cost-effective solution. In the world of mobile computing and remote access, server-based computing reduces the amount of processing carried out on the end user device, thus enabling simple devices to efficiently access applications such as email, databases and CRM systems across a wireless connection.
Another scenario when a server-based computing solution is ideal is where an organisation wants to make use of legacy devices such as desktop PCs. In this situation, PCs which may not have the processor power or memory to locally run high-end, powerful applications can be used by employing thin-client technologies that enable the processing to be carried out within the central server farm.
