Niches and Scenarios (2007)
In
its humble beginning back in
1994, PMS was born
out of a singular purpose and need - to allow
small businesses to operate a dedicated file
server without breaking the bank, and avoid needless complexity and
prohibitive costs.
That still stands today, despite drastic drop in server
hardware and O.S. prices.
Common Scenarios:
- Just need dedicated file server for
workgroup
- to facilitate remote admin
-
file management
-
services
-
registry
-
rpc
- Network troubleshooting
- application workstation test
- Print Server
- no NIC in printer
- need some form of ACL (access control
list)
- ease of deployment (utilizing Microsoft
networking features)
- VPC-related (floating license)
- Remote pool node (phantom users)
- Backup monitoring/launching
- ISO disc image mounting service
- Disc burning station
