Thin Client
Most businesses have computers running several operating systems, each with several applications. Many SMEs find the expense and overhead of managing security, viruses, upgrades and ongoing support difficult to sustain.’ Going thin’ might be the solution for your business.
Thin client solutions are synonymous with server based computing. With server based computing the applications reside on a relatively small number of high speed servers. With less active computers to maintain, operating and support costs are contained and performance monitoring, antivirus protection and protection from malicious attacks becomes easier to achieve. Thin client technology then provides a simple user interface into the active servers running your business applications. Thin client devices are impervious to most Internet borne attacks. They have no moving parts so typical active life is 10 years or more. They have no local disk storage space so there is no question of local data being corrupted or contaminated by worms and viruses. Each time they are restarted they are booted from flash memory that can never be contaminated with pernicious worms or viruses. Even conventional desktop and laptop PCs can benefit from operating as thin client devices, relying on their application servers to run applications that create, maintain and restore data files.

Propalms TSE Server in a Box
If you decide you want a TSE installation for your company we can sell you a pre configured box. This can give you a fast start. We will work out the size of server you need, build it and install the applications you require. Typically we will then ship it to your offices and install it. If you would prefer the server hosted in a data centre we would be happy to help you put it in your data centre or help you select one. Alternatively you could use our data centre located on the national Internet backbone in London.
Leverage Our Existing Infrastructure
You can avoid the hassle and use our hosted infrastructure solution. We have already set up a server farm preloaded with popular applications. You can start using it tomorrow. This option works well for companies that have little internal or external IT support. By spreading the support costs of the servers over several companies we can offer you corporate quality IT support at an affordable price.
