Client/Server computing has become an important industry trend. Sage MAS 200 Client/Server accounting
software for Windows NT is a 32-bit version of Sage MAS 90 For Windows that incorporates client/server
technology to add new capabilities. When you choose Sage MAS 200 Client Server, you'll receive key
benefits that only client/server architectures can provide, such as more efficient distributed
processing, high performance, enhanced data integrity and reliability, remote access support, and
scalability for large numbers of users.
Sage MAS 200 client/server technology separates the program logic, processing and data management tasks
from user-interface processing tasks. All program logic, processing and data management tasks are
performed on the application server, and all user interface tasks are performed using a thin client
installed on the workstation. Data transmission across the network is minimized; only the commands
used to display the current screen and data are sent across the network. Reduced network data
transmission per user means that more concurrent network users can be supported using the same
network bandwidth and, equally important, Sage MAS 200 Client/Server can be run in low bandwidth
environments like modern and WAN connections.
Because all data processing and data management tasks are performed on the server, rather than
across the network, you are provided with a 300 to 1000 percent increase in data processing
throughput when using a dedicated application server. Data files are stored centrally on the server
and are not transmitted across the network, enhancing the data integrity and reliability.
Key Features
Thin-Client Architecture - Sage MAS 200 takes advantage of the
latest Internet and intranet-compatible, thin-client architecture. This
architecture delivers top performance in WAN and remote access environments,
as well as delivering data at top speed on your local network.
Designed for wide Area Networks (WANs) and Remote Access Environments
- Sage MAS 200 is ideal for multi-site businesses because it is optimized for
remote access environments. In fact, Sage MAS 200 utilizes Virtual Private
Networking (VPN) technology to securely connect accounting and bookkeeping
departments from various remote offices across the Internet. By taking
advantage of VPN technology, you can significantly reduce the expensive data
transport costs associated with a dedicated line. Sage MAS 200 is also compatible
with Citrix and Windows Terminal Services, although these products are not
required to enable Sage MAS 200 over a WAN.
Optimized for TCP/IP
- Sage MAS 200 provides fast, reliable TCP/IP connectivity to facilitate file
and resource sharing over the network.
Performance
- The client/server engine performs smoothly even during peak transaction
processing and even with a large number of accounting users.
Enhanced Data Integrity
- A critical benefit of thin client architecture is an overall reduction in network
traffic. Lower traffic can increase reliability and data integrity
systemwide.
