If you’re looking for an easy, plug-and-play solution to Web-enable or publish your applications, then the logical choice is App-XS For XP. By eliminating the complexities of Citrix XenApp (previously called Citrix Presentation Server or MetaFrame) and Microsoft Windows Terminal Server (WTS), App-XS provides a fast, simple and affordable solution.

Problem and Solution!

App-XS technology can improve the performance of your MYOB Premier and Accounting, Retail Manager, QuickBooks and many other applications by up to 10 times faster.

The problem:
Database application requiring direct access to the actual data file will slow down significantly as the number of users and the size of the file increases. This is due to the nature of the flat-file database systems. Unfortunately this slowdown is not linear, but seams like an accelerating nature, especially once the datafile grows over the 100MB in size.

The solution:
By moving the datafile and the applications accessing it onto the same physical computer, one can achieve significant improvement in speed and reliability.

We have done tests with 1GB MYOB datafile. The conventional setup where the data sits on the server and the MYOB application running on the client workstation, a particular report took up to 8 minutes to process, having the same datafile on an App-XS server running the MYOB application has improved the process significantly and reduced the required time to about 40 seconds.

We also had clients with ongoing corruption issues, especially with MYOB Retail Manager. RM seams to be extremely vulnerable to poor network infrastructure and easily gets corrupted. After moving the system to Remote Desktop technology not only the performance has significantly improved but the database corruption issue has also completely disappeared.
