  • Key Features in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server
    With Windows Server® 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services (RDS), Microsoft is progressing in its vision to provide the best virtualization platform for accelerating and extending desktop and application deployments from the data center to any device. In addition to the traditional session virtualization scenario (formerly known as “Terminal Services”), Remote Desktop Services is expanding its role to provide an extensible platform for a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). RDS is a cost-effective infrastructure platform for any type of organization, particularly those with a roaming workforce, structured task workers or knowledge workers with a need for flexible desktop or application access, including contractors, offshore workers and office workers that require a free seating environment or have a need to work from home. SOLUTION BENEFITS ACCELERATE DESKTOP & APPLICATION HELP SECURE DATA AND INCREASE REMOTE WORKER DEPLOYMENT APPLICATIONS EFFICIENCY Remote Desktop Services accelerates and Remote Desktop Services helps Remote Desktop Services helps extends the deployment of desktops and organizations keep critical simplify remote connectivity, applications to a wide array of client devices, intellectual property highly secure enabling rich applications to be helping make your organization more agile and helps radically simplify accessed from a web page and and responsive. RDS also enables flexible regulatory compliance by removing seamlessly integrated with a local work scenarios such as hot-desking and work applications and data from the desktop, improving remote worker from home. desktop. efficiency. Key Features in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1: • Microsoft RemoteFX introduces a new set of end user experience capabilities, enabling local-like access to media-rich applications for virtual and session-based desktops; it can be deployed to a range of thick and thin client access devices.

  • Rich Client Architecture
    Base One International Corp. www.boic.com Base One's Rich Client Architecture Base One provides a unique approach How Rich Client works for developing Internet-enabled applications, combining both efficiency and ease of programming through its "Rich Client" architecture. With this architecture, it is possible to build graphically intensive programs that look and perform like sophisticated client/server Windows applications, but where data is actually stored and retrieved across the Internet. At the same time, Base One makes it easy to develop such applications on a laptop or desktop and deploy them over the Internet without any changes. In Base One's model, each Rich Client looks like In contrast to thin client models, a rich a normal database application - because a Base client application shifts the burden away One Internet Server (BIS) acts as a transparent from shared network resources and proxy for a database across the Internet. server machines onto client computers, for better overall performance and application flexibility. While many applications are adequately handled by thin client architectures, some applications are much better suited to Base One's Rich Client model. (See table below for the types of applications that benefit the most.) A Service Oriented Architecture Like systems based on Web Services, Base One's Rich Client model is also a type of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).
