Process Server enables you to off-load transaction processing and reporting
from an individual workstation onto other Microsoft Windows 2000 or
Windows NT 4.0 systems (process servers). Running on these systems,
Process Server lets you send processor-intensive tasks to a computer (or
a cluster of computers in high-volume environments) dedicated solely to
providing processing services to client computers. In addition to providing the
efficiencies of centralized processing, Process Server immediately frees client
workstations, reduces network traffic, and lets you schedule exactly when the
process server will begin its task, maximizing computing resources.
