Painless Computing™

Benefit

Description

Less hardware upgrades required

Because all applications run on the server there is very little demand placed on the workstation therefore older equipment will easily allow users to run the latest applications.

Low-bandwidth Access to Data

Because only a screen view of the data is transmitted even a dial-up connection is very effective for remotely accessing and manipulating large amounts of data.

Easy roll-out of new or upgraded applications

Applications are only installed once on the server, and access is then given to the applicable users.

Less configuration time for new hardware

Because there is no requirement for software to be installed on the workstations new PC’s can be integrated quickly

Access from Anywhere

Hosted Terminal Server enables users to log in from anywhere and get full and consistent access to all applications and data.

Data sharing

Users in different locations can have access to the same data. No need for replication and version control.

Security

Data can be stored and backed up centrally

Common data base

Users from multiple locations can access a common data base i.e. accounting system

Continuity of sessions

If a connection to the server is lost the session can remain open until the connection is re-established.
