1. Application Background
Nowadays, lots of subsidiaries keep going due to the growth, expand and merge of an enterprise. There is statistic show that more than 50% of the employees are working away from headquarters. The company and its partners are getting eager to work in remote collaboration and mobile commerce.
Basically, the traditional enterprise IT architectures are lack of integrated platform which lead to complex and less control environment since the enterprise computing platforms are getting more scattered. As a result, those engaged in enterprise information management are weighed down with chores, and weak management cause a spate of problems such as less security control, low stability, complex management, inconvenient maintenance and difficulty in upgrade. Due to the above circumstance, cost for IT implementation is increasing year after year.
Enterprise must foster its collaborative, real-time and nimble commercial capability before build up its sustainable competitive power so that it can adapt itself to the complex commercial environment and respond to transform in the future.
With the popularity of Internet, the “access capability” becomes a key capability of the enterprise. Only “connection” wills maximize the value of enterprise information system. The enterprise must capable for quick and safe access to the key applications or information at any time and any place. In order words, any resource can be accessed safely and quickly by employee in any place using any device and in any method.
An American IDC market statistic shows that the global access architecture market is increasing by an average annual compound growth rate of 11.7%, and the market capacity by 2007 has exceeded USD21.6 billion. The requirement by domestic users of China for enterprise access is increasing rapidly.
2. Technical Principle
Server-based Computing has become the mainstream technology of the current access architecture.
Server-based Computing is an application program that is 100% installed and run on a server. The concept is different from the application logic where the user interfaces only transfer the key information, mouse clicking information and screen update information through the network in order to run and manage the application system.
3. Technical Architecture
