Server-Based
Computing
Server
based computing [SBC] model is where applications
are deployed, managed, supported and executed from
central
server farms. Screen, keyboard and mouse information
is exchanged between the client
and the server
farms. No applications actually reside and execute
on the desktop
client. Server
based computing delivers instant access to business-critical
applications and data at this central point. This
architecture successfully solves fundamental problems
that occur when an enterprise migrates from a mainframe
system to a PC system or PC network.
In server
based computing environments hardware upgrades,
application deployment, technical support, and data
storage are simplified by migrating applications
and data from PCs to centrally managed servers.
Data and applications reside on servers.
PCs become display devices for activity taking place
on the server
and can be replaced by simpler, less expensive devices
called "thin
clients."
Server
based computing is similar in operation to legacy
systems such as mainframe and mini-computer systems
(e.g. VAX, AS400) where dumb terminals connected
to these central systems are accessed applications
that ran on these systems with screen and keyboard
information being exchanged between these central
computer systems and dumb terminals.
How
does it work?
The
server
based computing model employs three critical
components. The first is a multi-user operating
system that enables multiple concurrent users to
log on and run applications in separate, protected
sessions on a single
server. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Linux
variants provide this functionality.
The
second is a highly efficient computing technology
that separates the application's logic from its
user interface, so only keystrokes, mouse clicks
and screen updates transverse the network. As a
result, application performance is band-width independent.
The
third key component, centralized application and
client management, enables large computing environments
to overcome the critical application deployment
challenges of management, access, performance and
security. Under the server
based computing model, applications are deployed,
managed, supported and executed 100% on a server.
Server
based computing enables robust, secure access
to virtually any application across any network
to virtually any type of client.
What
are the key business benefits of SBC?
Reducing
the Total Cost of Ownership [TCO] - Server
based computing model increases manageability
and reduces application ownership costs by as much
as 50 per cent.
Increasing
Return on Investment [ROI]
Total
Management - Applications are held on a
central
server farm and are managed from a single point,
simplifying application access and administration.
Performance
- All application processing takes place on the
server(s),
with information passing between server
and client via low bandwidth protocols such
as Citrix ICA and Microsoft RDP, resulting in improved
performance over the existing networks and reducing
the need for network or client
device upgrades.
Increased
Security - Users directly log onto the
server(s),
avoiding the need for floppy disks and peripheral
drivers to store data, reducing the risk of viruses,
data theft and the use of un-authorized applications.
Scalability
- New servers
can be added to server
based computing farms as the business requires
seamlessly.
Network
Computing
The
term network
denotes computers working together over a network,
as opposed to independently operating computing.
We understand that and thanks to our software expertise
backed up with our patents we are able to offer
network
computing at the best cost, and at the best
TCO.

U2Lite
Applica
U2Lite locally supports an additional
station attached to the Host PC with USB Keyboard
and USB Mouse support. Independent audio can
be added with the Applica USB Sound Adapter.
Applica
U2Lite is the least expensive solution
for local station support such as kiosks and
home use. |

Applica
UGroup allows the addition of 4 extra
remote users to the primary user's computer
by connecting an additional set of standard
keyboard, mouse and monitor as well as other
devices using USB technology. |
Summary
Server
based computing has been widely adopted by corporate
IT decision makers as the most efficient, flexible
and cost-effective system for application delivery
and administration. It addresses the challenges
of optimising application reach, speed and security
while significantly reducing operating costs. A
thin
client is a computer (client)
in client-server
architecture network computing which has little
or no application logic, so it has to depend primarily
on the central server
for processing activities.
