(Leverkusen, 07.01.2008) The conditions in the management of the decentralized work systems according to the complexity of barometer of the consulting firm Centracon have increased further in the course of the year. Then a high complexity of client systems is almost two-thirds of the companies. Derived from the consulting practice Centracon has identified various symptoms, which the problematic relationships reveal: a high administration overhead by the wide range of basic and special applications on the Workstation systems continuously. Updates and migrations to the decentralized systems regularly cause bottlenecks at the RessourcenStationare and mobile workers can not flexible enough with the required applications are supplied. Reorganizations cause very extensive, time-consuming and costly projects. Technically heterogeneous landscaped sites increase the requirements for the distributed access.

There are limitations on the flexible scaling of local resources. The lack of efficient central control international locations. The growing security and business continuity requirements are not sufficiently taken into account in terms of infrastructure. The integration of suppliers, customers and other external partners is technically inadequate. A standardization and flexibility comport is difficult with the existing infrastructure concepts. Smart client architecture create an optimal alternative here, because they replace the previously rigid, location-based models with flexible conditions with low infrastructure dependency. Such concepts IT jobs tailored to provided quasi users as a service from the socket, on demand is available at any internal and external sites”, explains Centracon CEO of Robert Gallant. This is not possible with the traditional infrastructure concepts.

The essential feature of the smart client architecture belongs to, that by central or virtual workstations and applications providing a modular standardization encryptor. On this basis, you can break up in classical architecture concepts very inflexible mapping applications and IT jobs. In addition to the significant gain in flexibility and mobility client architectures bring about a permanent reduction of the resource needs in the workplace management smart, because they create a much higher degree of automation”, describes the decisive effect Galstyan. Also the way could be there without large investments perform, because the company could relying on existing techniques and skills. Although the idea of smart a forward-looking infrastructure creates client architecture which, whose development this requires no high investments”, says Gallant. Rather, the heart of is the overarching concept for the innovative orientation of the infrastructure.
