Open Business Systems are specialists in thin client computing and architecture. OBS are working closely with software providers to deliver among the first integrated Microsoft Windows and thin client solutions.
What is Thin Client?
The IT industry seems to have turned full circle in the last 15 years, from mainframe systems to client server and now back to server based processing. This seems to have been driven by a number of factors;
Protection of existing investments on PC hardware.
Return on new capital investment.
Minimised ongoing purchase and maintenance costs.
Ease of daily system administration.
Ease of new software deployment.
Fully secure data systems from hackers and viruses.
Comprehensive end user control.
Efficient remote access for home users/ field staff.
Thin Client Delivers
Protection through the utilisation of existing PCs through terminals.
Return on new investment.
Total cost of ownership by reducing the value of new purchases and lowering cost of support.
Easy administration by combining a user friendly interface with standardised end user settings.
Easy software deployment by having a single install on the server, rather than x installs on each client PC.
Full security by having a single point of access, which is hidden behind the network, translated IP addressing.
Full control as the rights assigned by the Administrator decide each user session. Sessions can be 'shadowed' to view user activity as it happens.
Your Place Or Mine?
Our solution can either be hosted in our server farm in the heart of London, or be located within your premises. Should you choose to keep your systems internal, we can offer you a number of options for offsite resilience and disaster prevention.
