Application Mode
This is a terminal server-publishing mode that allows publishing of a single remote application from a Terminal Server without publishing a remote desktop.

Bandwidth
The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second (bps) or bytes per second. For analog devices, the bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).

Client-Device
Hardware that retrieves information from a server, Under the Server-Based Computing model, clients display only the user interface of an application and do not execute the application logic locally.

CockpIT Administrator Site
The site where system administrators can define new application policies, schedule policies, etc. This site should not be called the management site in any written material. It makes it sound like there might be two things: a management site and an administrator site. It should be capitalized.

CockpIT Applications™
The menu of icons that appear in a user's local Windows Start menu folder.

Enterprise information Portal (EIP)
The enterprise information portal (EIP) is a concept for a Web site that serves as a single gateway to a company's information and knowledge base for employees and possibly for customers, business partners, and the general public. In one model, an EIP is made up of these elements: access/search, categorization, collaboration, personalization, expertise and profiling, application integration, and security.

Access/search: Access/search allows a user to get all the information needed (but no more) in the desired context. For example, a loan officer does not need marketing information to approve a loan. An EIP makes sure the loan officer gets only the information needed.

Categorization: An EIP categorizes all information so that it is delivered to the user within the context needed (think of the subject structure on Yahoo)
Collaboration: An EIP allows individuals to collaborate regardless of geographical location.
Personalization: The information provided to individuals using an EIP is personalized to that person's role, preferences, and habits.

Expertise and profiling: Expertise and profiling is essential for the collaboration element of an EIP. Individuals within an enterprise are profiled according to their experience and competencies. If an individual needs to collaborate with others, he can choose those that are qualified for the project. Application integration: This allows individuals to deliver, access, and share information regardless of applications used.

Security: This provides information to users based on security clearance. The user logs on and is given access only to information that the user is authorized to access.

Client:
In a client/server architecture, a client that performs the Fat bulk of the data processing operations. The data itself is stored on the server. See thin client for contrast.
(I.e.) A computing device, such as a PC or Macintosh, that includes an operating system, RAM, ROM, a powerful processor and a wide range of installed applications that can execute on the desktop or 100% on the server under Server-Based Computing architecture.

External WebIT Server:
In the architecture of Jetro WebIT™ this is the server that sits in the external (DMZ) network.

Jetro CockpIT™:
This is Jetro’s flagship product. The product contains management, application delivery, and load balancing tools.

Multi user:
Refers to computer systems that support two or more simultaneous users. All mainframes and minicomputers are multi-user systems, but most personal computers and workstations are not.

Remote Access:
The ability to log onto a network from a distant location. Generally, this implies a computer, a modem, and some remote access software to connect to the network.

Server:
A computer or device on a network that manages network resources. For example, a file server is a computer and storage device dedicated to storing files. Any user on the network can store files on the server. A print server is a computer that manages one or more printers, and a network server is a computer that manages network traffic. A database server is a computer system that processes database queries. Servers are often dedicated, meaning that they perform no other tasks besides their server tasks. On multiprocessing operating systems, however, a single computer can execute several programs at once. A server in this case could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer.

Server Farm:
Also referred to as server cluster, computer farm or ranch. A server farm is a group of networked servers that are housed in one location. A server farm streamlines internal processes by distributing the workload between the individual components of the farm and expedites computing processes by harnessing the power of multiple servers. The farms rely on load-balancing software that accomplishes such tasks as tracking demand for processing power from different machines, prioritizing the tasks and scheduling and rescheduling them depending on priority and demand that users put on the network. When one server in the farm fails, another can step in as a backup.
Combining servers and processing power into a single entity has been relatively common for many years in research and academic institutions. Today, more and more companies are utilizing server farms as a way of handling the enormous amount of computerization of tasks and services that they require.
A Web server farm, or Web farm, refers to either a Web site that runs of more than one server or an ISP that provides Web hosting services using multiple servers.

Single-Point Control:
Helps reduce the total cost of application ownership by enabling applications and data to be deployed, managed and supported at the server. Single-point control enables application installations, updates and additions to be made once, on the server, which are then instantly available to users anywhere.

System Management:
Systems management is the management of the information technology systems in an enterprise. This includes gathering requirements, purchasing equipment and software and distributing it to where it is to be used, configuring it, maintaining it with enhancement and service updates, setting up problem-handling processes, and determining whether objectives are being met. Systems management is usually under the overall responsibility of an enterprise's Chief Information Officer (CIO). The department that performs systems management is sometimes known as management information systems (MIS) or simply information systems (IS).

Thin Client:
In client/server applications, a client designed to be especially small so that the bulk of the data processing occurs on the server. The term thin client is an especially popular buzzword now because it serves as a symbol dividing the computer industry into two camps. On one side is a group led by Netscape and Sun Microsystems advocating Java -based thin clients running on network computers. The other side, championed by Microsoft® and Intel, is pushing ever-larger applications running locally on desktop computers. Although the term thin client usually refers to software, it is increasingly used for computers, such as network computers and Net PCs, that are designed to serve as the clients for client/server architectures. A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk drive, whereas a fat client includes a disk drive.

TCO:
Abbreviation of Total Cost of Ownership, a very popular buzzword representing how much it actually costs to own a PC. The TCO includes:

· Original cost of the computer and software
· Hardware and software upgrades
· Maintenance
· Technical support
· Training

Most estimates place the TCO at about 3 to 4 times the actual purchase cost of the PC. The TCO has become a rallying cry for companies supporting network computers. They claim that not only are network computers less expensive to purchase, but the TCO is also much less because network computers can be centrally administered and upgraded. Backers of conventional PCs, especially Microsoft® and Intel, have countered with Zero Administration for Windows (ZAW), which they claim will also significantly reduce TCO.

Usage Metering:
This capability measures usage and utilization of resources such as applications, disk space, CPU utilization, time etc. This data is for budgeting, billing, cost accounting, profit centers and software vendor license reconciliation reports.

Windows-Based Terminal (WBT):
A fixed-function thin client device that connects to a server to provide application access. The key differentiator of a WBT from other thin devices is that all application execution occurs on the server; there is no downloading or local processing of applications at the client.
