 At
ENS we are experts in server based computing.
Server-based computing is an industry "buzz"
word that may have some confused. Server based
computing is a model in which applications are
deployed, managed, support and executed 100% on
a server. It uses a multi-user operating system
and/or virtualization technologies and a method
for distributing the presentation of either an
application or operating system’s interface to a
client device.
With server-based computing, client devices can
be either "fat" or "thin." Thin clients are
terminal devices that are generally low cost
units without hard drives, floppy drives or
CD-ROMs. Fat clients are full-featured PCs,
these may be modern units or outdated machines
that are no longer effective in their original
role. With a server-based computing technology
the client device’s processing power is not
critical, because the processing of the
application or operating system is taking place
totally on the server. Only "screen shots,"
mouse clicks, and keystrokes of the activity is
transmitted to and from the client device.
As such, a client device has instant access to
business-critical applications via the server
without application rewrites or downloads. This
means improved efficiency when deploying
business-critical applications. In addition,
server-based computing works with your current
computing infrastructure and standards. As a
result of this model the TCO is greatly reduced
because fast processors and large amounts of RAM
are no longer needed at the desktop, which in
turn can extend the useful life of the hardware. 
Remote Offices
Server-based computing also allows low bandwidth
connections to remote offices to provide full
network functionality. If you have remote
offices that must share data from a central
location, or just want to reduce the cost of
implementing your Wide Area Network,
server-based computing is the answer.
Platform Independent
Server-based computing is platform independent.
If you have Macintosh or UNIX machines and you
need to access the resources and applications of
a Windows networks, server-based computing is
the answer.
Web-Based Computing
Server-based computing enables administrators to
launch and embed corporate applications into
HTML pages without rewriting a single line of
code. This means your users can access corporate
applications from a web-browser.
Remote Computing
In today's changing work environment more
employees need to work outside of the office,
whether at home, hotels, customer locations,
etc. This means that a wide variety of network
connections are being used to access corporate
applications. Unfortunately, the lower the
bandwidth, the lower the application
performance. Server-based computing resolves
this problem because it keeps all application
processing on the server, meaning less traffic
is sent across the low-speed network. In
addition, it is optimized for low speed
connection so users can get LAN-like performance
over analog or ISDN modems, WANs, wireless LANs,
and even the Internet.
