Replacement / updating of Pcs
The continual advancement of software has demanded greater requirements from hardware, making the PCs, which companies have acquired throughout time, obsolete.
To give an idea of the costs involved we'll take as an example a company, which has 500 PCs. If the average useful lifetime of the equipment is 4 years, this means that the company would have to replace 125 PCs each year. Assuming that the cost of a new PC is USD 800 (and taking into account that the market value of obsolete PCs is zero), this results in a minimum investment of USD 100,000 without even including the cost of installation and running.
Server based computing is an alternative process, which prolongs the life of a PC without compromising the performance or quality of the software, generating dramatic savings. This alternative computer architecture is included in Vision Software's Server Based Computing service.
Up-dating & program support
A constant generator of costs for companies consists in the distribution, installation and support of new applications in the client's equipment.
The use of Server based computing, of virtual private networks (VPNs) and the Active Directory from Windows 2000 allows the activation of a program for the whole company, being installed in only a few servers and simultaneously reducing support costs.
This represents clear savings not only in the total cost of ownership but also in the ability to offer an information system to the company in the least possible time (Time To Market). This alternative is included in the Server Based Computing, Network Infrastructure and Enabling of Applications for the WEB services from Vision Software. |
