Areas of discussion:
What is Centralized Access?
Liberate your users. Empower IT. The more you consolidate and centralize your systems, the lower
your costs and the more time your users can spend being productive. Can you tap into user creativity,
the web, and Windows®-based software? Yes you can, with Wyse and our unparalleled focused expertise
in centralized access solutions.
Why are Centralized Access Solutions Better?
Network-centric computing is simply 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, Windows-based,
and Linux software, using this time-tested 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 network-centric computing.
Interact with technical sales experts and discuss ways to implement a cost effective, low maintenance
computing environment.
Windows Terminal Server vs Citrix
What is the best fit for your business? Do you really need Citrix? Industry experts will break down
the associated costs, advantages and disadvantages of each solution.
