The ASP basic concept is very simple: the OS, application programs and data can be in a central server, and the users, according to each demand could have a small terminal (a computer compost of a CPU, monitor and keyboards), as well as an old computer. Processing data, as well as the memorization are done by the server; the same way it is always the server to take on the systems up dates, and management antivirus and firewalls (to defend data privacy and integrity), representing the only access node. As well, data-backup-operations on every connected computer to the server, could pass in a simplified and steady way, and above all, clear for any user. | | | Another advantage is represented by the possibility to share between several entities the purchased and maintenance of the very expensive software which for example manage data base or ERP. Besides, clients who travels a lot, could find his own informatics systems from anywhere in the world (as long as there is a wideband) through a protected authentication process. After all, those who would like to forget every informatics problems could do it, and change a cost that is often hardly predictable, into a certain cost and therefore cheaper. Each eventually software’s problem would be managed directly by us, while client’s problems in hardware would be very slightly because of the reduced amount of this hardware. In the future, we will value the possibilities on offering these services on-demand, as it comes for the internet subscriptions, through a flat plan or pay-as-you-use plan, offering possibilities as well to those who use internet rarely, to do it in the best conditions. Offering services such as ASP, is particularly interesting and useful, to those business or publics entities already with old network systems, allowing them to keep the old hardware and knock down costs on renewing the whole system set. |
