and

c ust omers. Security With a conventional client/server computer network, the challenge to control unauthorized access to privileged business applications and

data

has

become

increasingly

complex.

With

this

infrastructure, information and software are housed on both the server and the client desktop, an open environment which leaves them vulnerable to unauthorized access. It also increases the risk of lost or stolen information.

Performance The

rapid

advancement

of

today’s

high-efficiency

business

applications has rendered older computer networks inadequate for achieving maximum performance levels. Businesses that connect remotely or utilize lower-bandw idth connections place excess strain on their already congested networks, resulting in poor performance.

This

often

produces

redundant

work

and

significantly decreases office productivity.

4

Access Competing in today’s complex computing landscape demands that businesses deploy a wide assort ment of desktop equipment and remote-access network connectivity. To access critical Windowsbased applications, businesses are compelled to continually invest in costly upgrades and rew rite applications to ensure continuous access.

Manageme nt Managing business technology is often unpredictable and has become exceedingly time-consuming, expensive and difficult to maintain.

Many

businesses

today

must

hire

expensive

IT

personnel or turn to consultants. These professionals are asked to juggle the tasks of allocating applications to each workstation while having to update and patch applications, provide remote support

and

provide

daily

data

and

systems

backups.

As

companies grow and users increase, the cost of owning and managing an in-house IT inf rastructure can spiral out of control.
