Server-Based Computing

Enterprises today need more from their applications than ever before. ICT professionals demand more manageability, scalability and security. Corporate managers need more productivity and availability. End users, whether they are at corporate headquarters, in branch offices or on the road, need fast, easy access to business-critical applications. Now you can meet all of these growing demands an innovative server-based computing solution from PIC Co.

Server-Based computing (SBC) or Server-centric computing is a logical evolution of today's networking environment. It looks like when you host your applications and data centrally on a server, like the old days of mainframes and text terminals. But today it is possible to run modern Web and Windows™ -based software, as well as Linux and .Net using this SBC architecture. It is more secure, more manageable, more affordable and more reliable than a client-server architecture where data and applications reside on PCs spread throughout the organization. This is the simple beauty of server-centric computing.

Some potential benefits of SBC architecture:

Accelerates the deployment while extending the reach of business-critical applications.

Manages the deployment and upgrade of business-critical software, easily, quickly and effectively

Employ virtually any type of computing device (including but not limited to Windows®-Based Terminals, PCs, UNIX® workstations, wireless devices, Information Appliances and Thin Clients)

Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Lets you centrally manage mission-critical applications while leveraging your current computing infrastructure (Hardware, Software, Networks, and Training)

Provides cost-effective, manageable solution for getting business-critical applications to users anywhere and anytime they are needed.

How does SBC 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.
  • 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 travel 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. 

Industry solutions:

SBC gives SMEs a way to extend resources, simplify application deployment and administration, and lower the Total Cost of application Ownership (TCO). SBC solutions could easily fit in the following industries:
