Multiple workstationsFor so many businesses, supporting multiple workstations is a headache. Why? Hardware failures, software upgrades and security patches consume time, energy, money and performance. Users often tamper with the hardware and software on their workstations, or forget to back up critical data. What’s more, machines can be damaged, stolen or rendered obsolete.
A single serverSuppose you could run your usual applications (word processor, spreadsheet or accounting) on a server, instead of on your PC. Support would be easier, maintenance cheaper and access more readily available. All workstations would be configured exactly the same, ensuring uniformity, and backups would be a great deal more reliable.
Cost-effective solutionIf you run a small, medium or large organisation, a server-based computing solution from TSI is the answer. Fully centralised, it really is ideal for businesses of any size. And even though you need more powerful servers to run applications for multiple users, you save money in the long term – because your workstations are cheaper and simpler, your support more cost-effective and your security more streamlined.
Work from anywhereSince applications, desktops and data are all hosted centrally, access while on the road, from a branch office or from home becomes a lot easier. Remote users can log in via the Internet, using a variety of devices like wireless notebooks and Personal Digital Assistants.They can see their own desktops and run applications as usual.
The bottom line
- You’re able to reduce your support costs, because system and software upgrades take place on the server only – not on multiple workstations.
- You have the peace of mind inherent in greatly enhanced security, because only your server needs protection.
- You’re able to utilise older or cheaper PCs, because little or no support is required on the workstation itself. The PC doesn't need a powerful processor, lots of memory or even a hard disk to do its job.
- You’re assured of standard, uniform workstations that are ‘disposable’; if one fails, simply plug in a new one to make the user immediately operational again.
- You can maximise working from home or the road, via the built-in remote and mobile user support.
- You have the comfort of knowing that all of your data is automatically backed up, because, in this model, all data is centrally stored.
