WorkSpace On-Demand is made up of two components. The first component is the client operating system that runs on the network computer. All operating system software, applications and data are stored on the server, simplifying updates and administration. WorkSpace On-Demand is tuned specifically for network computing. At the same time, it can lower cost of ownership by eliminat- ing the need to distribute software to clients and to store unique files at the client hard drive, permitting PC hardware interchangeability.
Users can access their applications and data from any client system in the network domain.
And Java is the key. Java is the language of network computing. WorkSpace On-Demand has the Java Virtual Machine built right into the operating system. From the client desktop, your users can take advantage of the numerous Java applications being introduced today, and enjoy true network computing now. Where it works WorkSpace On-Demand has the extraordinary capability to turn the computer user into a roaming client user.
