Also known as "thin client computing," it may refer to a browser-based environment that uses a Web browser as the client with all applications running on a Web server on the Internet or in an intranet on the LAN. community. The event will bring together leading vendors and individual attendees that are furthering the server-based computing community through technology innovations. BriForum is scheduled for April 10-12, 2006, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Crucial to the continuing success of this highly technical conference is the community and technical support provided by these twelve sponsors. "Citrix originally brought thin client computing See thin client. to the Windows world An earlier computer exposition sponsored by COMDEX. Its first show was in 1991, and it was often held in conjunction with another computer show. See COMDEX. ten years ago, and now this industry is on the verge On the Verge (or The Geography of Yearning) is a play written by Eric Overmyer. It makes extensive use of esoteric language and pop culture references from the late nineteenth century to 1955. of several innovations that will drive server-based computing forward for the next ten years," said Brian Madden, the creator of BriForum. "For example, we're starting to see real intelligence and an application-focus in products from companies like Lakeside Software, Cesura ce·su·ra n. Variant of caesura. Solutions, RTO (Recovery Time Objective) The amount of time a computer system or application can stop functioning before it is considered intolerable to the enterprise. It can be computed to be from seconds to days, depending on how critical the application is to the organization. Software, eG Innovations, and Proactive Watch. These products do so much more than simply tracking performance monitor counters." Intelligent performance monitoring will not be the only technology on show at BriForum this year. Enteo and visionapp are leading technology providers in the application and server deployment space, and AEP AEP - Application Environment Profile Networks will be at the conference focusing on network and application access security. Two companies that have enjoyed success this past year are triCerat and Ericom, and they'll both be at BriForum discussing their products which extend and enhance the capabilities of Microsoft's Terminal Server product. Of course none of these products are any good without client devices to access them, and both Devon IT and Neoware will be present to display their secure, manageable thin client devices. Microsoft and Citrix are both showing their support for this year's conference by sending speakers for keynote and breakout sessions. "We created BriForum to fill the void for a truly technical conference that features technology, not the agendas of any one vendor specifically," said Brian Madden, creator of BriForum and founder of The Brian Madden Company. "The fact that so many leaders in our industry are sponsoring the event is proof of the value that we're trying to bring back to the community through BriForum."
