Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Practical Handbook Of Thin-Client Implementation by Nasimuddin Ansari, Shekhar Tiwari, Neeraj Agrawal
Thin-Client/Server Computing is one of the most upcoming and cutting edge technology in this IT era. This book is an effort to make the IT industry aware of this wonderful technology and its enormous potential. Thin-Client/Server computing model removes almost all the vulnerabilities of hardware failures, OS crashes and data losses at Client System, which are so very common in an enterprise network having large number of hardware & software components. This is a multi-user, server-based model in which almost all the applications run on the server. This helps in managing users, resources and even data, centrally. Also, this requires low network band-width for users to be able to work on the server.
As the name of this book suggests, it deals more with the practical aspects of the technology than its theoretical explanations. However, it does provide you with all the subtle and important informations at each and every step.This book has a simple and lucid style for better comprehensiveness. Screenshots and pictures have been used extensively to clarify the concepts and provide step-by-step details of every process involved in the implementation of this model.
The highlight of this book is that it deals with both proprietary (Microsoft Windows 2000 Server) as well as Open Source Operating Systems (Linux) in implementation of this model.
