What is sever-based computing?
At the heart of the thin-client network is server-based computing: all software is loaded and processed on secure, central servers, monitored remotely by ClassLink server experts. Server-based computing is different from server-based information. With server-based information, you have data on servers that users access and pull down over the network to their desktop for processing. Applications work only as fast as the end user device. With server-based computing, applications and processing occurs on the server rather than the desktop. This means that only mouse clicks, keyboard strokes and images travel the network to the desktop. Server-based computing maximizes server power, minimizes desktop requirements, and requires less network bandwidth. The ClassLink System is customized for educational settings to make the most of sharing, profiles, shadowing, printing and other server-based computing features.
