Microsoft Windows Virtualization |
“Green” computing and simple administration in an environmentally responsible manner Managing resources and looking out for our environment is quickly becoming critical in today’s world. Environment-friendly initiatives have grown to an industry-recognized and budget-influencing requirement. Technologies like virtualization and server consolidation are tools for lowering power waste, getting more out of your hardware and software.The idea of “green computing” means workstations require less processing capability since it leverages the computing capability of the server. In the past we talked about our new web-based Document Console, which can now be executed and run over a network in a browser based environment. The process in which web-based products work is on a “Client-Server” model or in the old days a similar process was used for ‘terminals’. In short, it means that the server will do all the work, meaning the workstations (or clients) will be more a messenger between the server and the client. Much like searching for something on Google, the user is required to input the search item, and then the browser will return the results. In the same way the user would login to an application and the server machine would send the necessary data over for the client to run the application on their end. Over the next year you will be hearing more about Windows Virtualization and Windows Server.

Microsoft Vista & Hospital Network Software Applications |
As a Microsoft Solutions provider, we have the privilege of testing Microsoft Vista during the beta phase. With the amount of money Microsoft has invested; it is clear that Microsoft is pushing Vista to the foreground while slipping XP in its shadow. With that in mind, it is our understanding that some hospital network software applications are still not compatible with Microsoft Windows Vista, at this time. Our A&L applications are compatible with Microsoft Vista (32-bit). However, A&L Computer Software Limited does not offer expertise with any 3rd party application. As a tip to our clients, if you are thinking of making any changes, we advise you take the time to investigate and research; ensuring that your software is fully compatible with Microsoft Vista. |
