- Private hosted office does work
-
Within an enterprise, a hosted office paradign can work very effectively. I work in a UNIX support group and my workstation is running Linux. I use an ICAClient to connect to a farm of Windows servers that host Office and a wide variety of other windows based products.
I'm very satisfied with my experience in this environment as there is always a farm server available (although we occasionally see a server take a dive - oh well, that's windows for you) and my "desktop" is the same regardless of farm server I'm connected to.
Our overall response and stability is great. I get all the office tools I need without sacrificing my workstation stability. The servers and their software are always well maintained and kept up todate and overall this type of arrangement has saved our organization bundles of $$ in capital and support costs, we also have a very consistent security model in place for minimal effort. Oh yeah, our model is supporting about 3 thousand users.
While I can see that public hosted office models may not be appealing to consumers, it an enterprise hosted office model can be very good indeed. - Posted by: sisotek Posted on: 10/25/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
