Server based computing: Its advantages and how it works

Server-based computing (SBC) is a technology whereby applications are deployed, managed, supported and executed on the server and not on the client. Only the screen information is transmitted between the server and client. This architecture solves the many fundamental problems that occur when executing the applications on the client itself. In SBC environments hardware & software upgrades, application deployment, technical support, and data storage & backup are simplified because only the servers need to be managed.

This whitepaper explains the concept of server based computing and defines the main components of its technology. It also describes the advantages of adopting a server based computing environment within an organization.
