Forming the core of most commercial networks, the performance and
reliability of the servers is fundamental in providing an efficient
solution.
When evaluating existing systems and proposing new
hardware we endeavor to specify failover protection where possible by
utilizing RAID disk systems and redundant power supplies. Compupros
Unlimited has found that deploying well specified servers at the
outset offers significant benefits as the cost of upgrading older
equipment tends to be relatively expensive.
From experience we recommend using the Microsoft
Windows 2000 2003 and NT4 server operating systems as they offers a
reliable, mature, well supported platforms that are compatible most
proprietary applications. Windows 2000, the successor to NT4,
incorporates Active Directory which streamlines the management of user
and computers and comes as standard with Terminal Services for remote
administration.

Thin Client Solutions
Compupros Unlimited offers the design and setup of thin client
networking environments using Citrix Server, Citrix is a revolutionary
networking system.
In a nutshell Citrix
works by taking most of the processing away from your pc and does the
work at the server (mind you it should be a very powerful server).
What this means is that under a citrix network, the processing part of
most things you do such as writing a letter in word, doing
calculations in excel etc, would be done by the server. The benefit of
having the sever do all the work via thin client network, is the
reduction in cost of marinating and upgrading the network, because
currently every few years employers are forced to upgrade their office
computers to take advantage of the more power hungry software and
operating systems. By taking all the processing to the sever via a
thin client network, this eliminates the need to upgrade individual
office computers and instead only the server will be upgraded as
needed. I think it is claimed by citrix that by taking the processing
to the server, the user can get along fine on a 386x computer.
