Introducing Ardence Technology

The complete Ardence Platform contains simple wizard based tools that make this process very simple and unlimited numbers of desktop images can be stored on the Ardence server(s) giving you the ability to provision a different desktop to PCs depending on who or what team is using the PC.

Very simple and utterly secure the Ardence Platform is the obvious successor to thin-client terminals, providing all the performance of a modern desktop PC with the ease of use and very low maintenance of a windows based terminal.

The Ardence server can be on the LAN or the WAN because only small parts of the image are used as they are required. When the user logs on only the part needed to present the Windows desktop is loaded, then when an application is selected only the basic components of the application are downloaded. This keeps the LAN lightly loaded, typically no more that 7meg is used at any one time while at the same time the user has the full performance of the PC at the desktop.

The Ardence solution eliminates:

The need to install and maintain software, including both applications and the operating system, on the hard drives in desktops or even servers. If updates and patches are required the IT team simply update the master image and the next time any user logs on the updates and patches are in place

Support visits to desktop users, in 99% of all cases a simple power off and on will fix the problem

Virus and Spyware infections, because a fresh image is installed everytime a user logs on. All user storage is remote on a server or NAS where robust centralised AV software should be used.

User installed applications or "freeware" tools and images, as soon as the user logs off their modification are gone

This dramatically simplified approach to centralised system management is guaranteed to lower TCO and greatly improve data security and system stability.
