Server-Based and Thin Client Computing: Promise and Practicalities

Overview

This paper is intended to provide an insight into two important technology areas – Server-Based Computing and Thin Client devices. Managing distributed client server environments and the ever-evolving personal computer can be a challenge. Introducing a degree of centralisation through a Server Based Computing (SBC) approach can help. But does this approach sit comfortably with modern Web architectures, mobile technology and enterprise applications? This paper considers some of the problems and concerns of IT professionals and the potential for modern Access Infrastructure Software and Thin Client devices to assist in overcoming them.
