SERVERS</strong></font> <font size="4">are the latest technology for the multi-user environment.&nbsp; In a traditional
computer network, a file server sends programs and data to powerful client computers for
processing.&nbsp; Because the client computers actually do the processing, they have to be
very capable.&nbsp; Also, a high bandwidth connection is required because a lot of data
has to flow between the server and client workstations.&nbsp;</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><font size="4">Using the new
TERMINAL SERVER (SERVER-BASED
COMPUTING) technology, the <i> server actually executes</i> the programs and the only things
transmitted between the server and the client are the keystrokes, mouse movements and
screens.&nbsp; The client computers can now be &quot;</font><b><font size="4" color="#FF8040">thin
clients</font></b><font size="4">&quot; -- relatively low-powered, inexpensive computers
or the new &quot;<font color="#0000FF" size="4"><b><a href="win-terminals.htm">Windows
Terminals</a></b></font>&quot;.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><font size="4">This is all possible
using the new Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Citrix Metaframe.</font></p>

Combining the low cost of a thin clients with the benefits of a Windows-based environment,
offers the same low-cost, centrally-managed environment of the traditional mainframe
computer using text terminals, but adds the familiarity, ease of use, and breadth of
applications support offered by the Windows operating system platform.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><font size="4">Additionally,
you can easily provide computer access to your branch offices and remote users as
Terminal Servers do not require high bandwidth connections -- even regular phone
lines work fine.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><font size="4">There are some very good reasons to
consider Terminal Servers:</font></p>

installed once on the server and are accessible to any user.&nbsp; Nothing has to be done
on the client side computer.&nbsp; This saves countless hours of administrative and
technical services time.</font></p>

Server-based, thin client computing requires minimal bandwidth, remote users can now
access the computer network and use applications at nearly the same speed as local
users.&nbsp; Even dial-up connections using 28.8 modem work fine.&nbsp; This is the only
remote access solution that works at an acceptable level of speed.&nbsp; Now branch
offices, the outside sales team and home users can all operate on the same network.</font></p>

<td valign="top" width="100%"><p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><font size="4"><font color="#FF8040"><strong><font face="Garamond">LOWER TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO)</font></strong></font> - Consider that
legacy equipment such as older Pentium and 486 computers can still serve as thin
clients.&nbsp; Also, consider that these older computers, when used as thin clients,
pose
no Y2K problems.&nbsp; You can slow the obsolescence cycle and save money.&nbsp;
Additionally, the only configuration required on the local computer is the one-time
installation of a small terminal client program.&nbsp; Applications are installed only
once, on the server.&nbsp; Any changes are performed on the server and network
administration can be done from a remote location as easily as in front of the server
console.&nbsp; Combined, these factors make Server-Based/Thin Client Computing the most
efficient solution and results in a lower cost of ownership and greater return on your
computing dollar.</font></p>
