Sage Accpac 500 ERP - Process Server

Module

Take advantage of true N-Tier client/server processing! Sage Accpac 500 ERP Process Server gives you flexibility, performance and scalability in handling posting, report execution and other CPU-intensive tasks.

Process Server enables you to off-load transaction processing and reporting from an individual workstation onto other Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 systems (Process Servers). Running on these systems as an NT Service, 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.

Benefits
