Abstract:
Server based computing performance can be affected by several factors. Some previous researches on performance of Server based computing came up with factors which falls to the category of server itself and on the network infrastructure. This research explores the performance behaviour of Thin Client terminals by measuring the performance while changing the performance optimisation configurations on the client side. These measurements are measured at default and with performance configurations set while analysing the response of performance metrics to observe their impact. The analysis shows that compression, caching and merging tends to have significant impact to the overall performance of server based computing. The measurement approach used is slow-motion benchmarking. In some cases, performance behaviour is compared with the previous performance measurement research done nearly 8 years ago for more discussions.
