Project Overview :
In today’s client/server world, the
normal for most office, commercial or industrial applications is a dedicated PC
or workstation running an application and accessing a variety of peripheral
devices locally. The PC is then connected to a network server for backup and
other uploading or downloading functions.
This architecture has draw
backs e.g.:-
ü More
cost.
ü Single
point of service, no mobility.
ü Less
security: data transfer between workstations and data centers, local storage,
etc..
ü Increasing
space requirements.
ü Running
application without modification.
This architecture has a variety of high costs:
ü A PC or workstation is expensive to purchase –
PCs or workstations can cost $400 to several thousand dollars, depending on
configuration.
ü The
cost of operating system and client access licenses for communication between
client and server.
ü Support
cost for PC-based applications can be in
the range of $300 to $500 per year for
PC based systems.
ü Windows-based
virus protection can cost another $25-100 per workstation.
ü Standard
PC hardware has unreliable moving parts such as hard drives and fans, with
expected life cycles of only three to five years and other high maintenance costs associated
with a dedicated PC.
ü Power
consumption cost.
