One of the primary objectives of server-based computing is to gain the productivity and efficiency benefits from the centralisation of information technology infrastructure and resources, as well as increasing an organisation’s leverage to new and existing technologies.
There are several ways in which adopting a more centralised approach to computing can provide a better outcome for an organization such as:
extending the useful life of existing and future hardware and technology investments
rationalisation of server infrastructure
increased efficiency in the management and control of client devices and the deployment of standard operating environment (“SOE”) applications
centralised access and authentication, disaster prevention and recovery
lower support overheads; opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive
