The result is a convenient turnkey solution that meets the performance and universal application access needs of end users, while providing I/S I/S Information Systems I/S Income Statement managers the economic benefits of server-based management and clustered processing in a secure, scalable, fault-tolerant environment. "Our integrated WinFrame and RemoteServ/IS system addresses what the remote-access market has been demanding for over a decade -- high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. , load-balanced processing of thin-client, low-bandwidth transmissions," said Jim Zakzeski, vice president of marketing for Cubix.
