1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
KonectT is a powerful and cost-effective serverware solution for the growing application deployment and support demands placed on IT administrators in small and mid-size businesses. In today's fast-paced economy, IT administrators are being asked to deliver and support increasing numbers of applications and resources to an increasingly remote and mobile workforce while balancing the need for cost reduction and demonstrable return on investments. Current technologies designed to address this challenge are either cost prohibitive, overly complex or require additional IT support and maintenance resources not normally available in small and mid-size businesses. desktopsites' Konect solution is serverware that enables small and mid-size businesses to manage, deploy, 1secure and remotely access networked resources . Konect extends Microsoft's Terminal Services to manage these networked resources centrally while seamlessly presenting them within a user's local, remote or mobile computer desktop. Konect delivers all of the extended capabilities that more expensive and complex access infrastructure solutions offer without a second desktop, at a price point and level of simplicity that small and mid-size businesses require. Finally, Konect end users enjoy seamless access to both local resources and network services on any fixed or mobile computer desktop, whether in or outside of the office. Time previously spent on training and support, typical with other solutions, is reduced or eliminated thanks to Konect's ease of use and seamless delivery of network resources.
1 Networked resources include software applications, files, data sources, web resources and services.
