with from both an economical and a user standpoint, as I will demonstrate in the following pages. Windows NT The advancement of servers
has kept pace with that of PCs, however thanks to continuing drops in component prices over time, vastly more efficient servers are now significantly more affordable. No longer are companies
looking at investments of $25,000 or $30,000 per server. Todays servers have infinitely superior technology, infinitely faster processing speeds, and substantially lower costs; many being in the $12,000 - $15,000
price range. And todays servers are fully upgradable, making them a good investment over a period of years - and also making the client/server, or thin-client, environment potentially more cost
efficient for companies. This achievement may, it seem, lie in new approaches to distributed computing over the network and the Internet. However, companies
still have to watch the bottom line to determine if the expense of a thin-client network is worth it. (Blackman, 1997). One approach
is the concept of "enterprise access," supported by new generation hardware and software solutions. Enterprise access refers to a hardware and software solution in which an NT servers CPU, memory
and disk resources run the end users applications. As in a mainframe environment, application processing and data storage are performed at the server level, not the desktop. Enterprise access enables
organizations to dramatically change the client cost model using thin client network computers. It also enables companies to regain control of corporate application and computing resources.
The bottom line on running Windows applications using any application-deployment product is that the server is taxed in a way never before seen in most computing environments.
