Public Server Based Computing Requirements

This is the first draft of Public Server Based Computing requirements.

  • Host applications that meets some of the client's Server Based Computing requirements.
  • Permit other vendors SBC applications to be presented with the host's own products.
  • Transparency to the user.
  • Storage server side and/or client side.
  • Allow users' locally hosted applications (home/office) the be presented to the user when operating remotely.
  • Choose the connectivity.
  • Print. And it should be where i want it to print!
  • For bonus points, work offline and collaboration.

Please note, I did not mention television, radio, music, or phone service. Nor did i specify word processing, spreadsheets, or even email. Let the market specify what applications are offered.


Also, omitted any reference to an OS, web or otherwise. Let hair splitting technocrats discuss what is an OS and what is not. Almost 6 billion people on this planet do not care what it is if it works.


And the first tier level of operation should be free!


Reserve the right to change any requirement, for any reason, anytime. Think of the requirements as "in Beta." Has worked well for one company.


Until the next post,
