The IntY Managed Application Server (MAS) has been
developed to allow businesses to derive constant benefit
from the latest incarnation of one our most commonly
used software packages – Microsoft Office. MAS
is based on the latest Microsoft server software and
delivers the latest Microsoft Office applications in
one box – so your organisation will remain competitive
with a minimum of hassle.
Using Microsoft Terminal Services, MAS is able to deliver
new Microsoft programs even to old and ageing PCs and
Apple Macs, so large amounts of capital are no longer
needed to upgrade your computer hardware. Any additional
workstations that may be needed can be based on further
inexpensive machines incorporating 'thin-client' technology.
Since the MAS is powerful enough to handle all the
application execution, processing and data storage procedures
associated with new software on its own, all that is
required of the client devices is to manage display
updates and relay mouse clicks and keystroke inputs.
And it is because of this fact, that they do not have
to be capable of processing the newer and more sophisticated
Windows-based applications locally (to access and use
the applications), that great hardware savings can be
made.
The cost of supporting a MAS is dramatically lower
compared with what would be the case for a traditional
network.. Because the software is run centrally, issues
and problems with individual PCs can be resolved remotely.
In fact, such a system can be administered from anywhere,
anytime. So even if the System Administrator is not
on site, desktops can still be remotely managed. In
addition, issues of data security and reliability can
be handled with increased ease and efficiency, since
all applications are run from one server.
Remote users, too, can benefit from a MAS architecture.
Accessing, for instance, databases which are held centrally
is made a great deal easier when large chunks of data
do not need to be moved across the connection. This
speeds up user access and in turn enhances overall productivity.
