The most noobiest quiest you've read allday

CicxHedge

Greeting, 

 

I need some advice, My core business is based off of 3 different applications in which we have designed custom proprietary tools.  These applications need to be running 24/7 more than 250 days out of the year and would only be for internal employees. I currently run these apps on a laptop that's  having trouble loading all the processes at once due to cpu limitations. I want to invest in a server but my question is how would it work? Would the server have the apps installed on it and would employees who need to view the information need to remote access via Virtual desk interface ( FIG 1 ) or would it be more efficient to display the data on a web server with logins something like ( FIG 3 )? Thank you in advance, I have not been able to find any information regarding this online.  Below I have attached some images of what would need to be viewed on multiple pc's.

 

 

FIG 1:    This is 1 off 3 applications that would need to be viewed by multiple pc's

FIG 2:     Im currently using just email alerts to employees but with upgrading to a server would non admin users be able to view the app in FIG 1 and actually 

               be able to interact with it?

Thanks again for any help regarding this.

It's not really possible for any outsider to tell you what would be most efficient for your employees -- well, unless you wish to hire someone as a consultant and come over to handle things --, you have to figure that out. That said, did you consider that you don't have to do just one or the other approach, but you could implement multiple approaches simultaneously? Besides which, I think you should talk with your employees as to how they wish to be able to interact with your apps and what they think would be most efficient for them.

 

Once you know what you want, you can then come here and ask how to implement it.

One additional advise I'd give you: if the tools and their availability are that important to your business, host the services required from a data centre, not on your local network connection. The hosting provider can set you up with a VPN service to securely access data by your employees.

Wouldn't that be, the same way it works currently?  I imagine you'd just forklift all of the dependencies onto a server environment.  Since the apps are proprietary there's like, nobody that can offer you meaningful advice other than those who created the app (developer) and those who use the app (you).

 

You'd be much better off getting a consultant to help you.
