Why Use Ardence?

PCs should be reliable and simple.
You see PCs in shops, banks, hospitals, offices, schools, bars, cafes in fact they are part of the fabric of our society but each one is owned by somebody, and each one has to have somebody to keep it running reliably and that can be quite a challenge. Many business PCs are used by more than one person and for a variety of tasks. Also not all users will care if they break the machine either because it is not theirs or they just like to fiddle.

Most IT managers have looked at the prospect of using terminals and terminal servers, they centralise all management functions and applications and they are a very good idea, we should know we have been selling them for years. But! If you need to use rich media content such as high quality graphics, streaming video, interactive sound and vision - In fact almost everything people want to do in a modern environment a terminal services based model will not work well, they just don't have the power on the desktop.

To meet today's requirements a whole new generation of technology is required. It is called Application Streaming and it is made by Ardence. This technology provides full powered fully functional multi-media desktop PCs that work just as reliably as your light bulb.

Introducing Ardence Technology

The Ardence Platform is a software solution for IT managers who need to simplify the task of provisioning, managing, and securing systems throughout an organisation. The Ardence solution eliminates the need to install and maintain software, including both applications and the operating system, on hard drives in desktops or even servers.

Instead, Ardence technology enables these systems to boot remotely across the network to a server that provides access to a central repository of operating system and application images. Rather than deliver the entire multi-gigabyte boot image at power-up or boot time, the Ardence solution streams only what is needed - on demand.

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