End-user benefits
An architecture that decouples your data storage from SAS servers can improve the overall speed and usability of data access. For example, end users can access, share, prepare, and handle files significantly faster by using a decoupled architecture instead of a traditional architecture that relies on individual desktop devices. The use case for this guide achieved 35 percent time savings compared to the previous setup. A central terminal server deployment, based on Citrix clients for the scenario used in this guide, offers the following advantages:
Offers portability and mobility of work processes for each end user
Enables end users to resume working sessions
Keeps data secure in the cloud away from local device storage that can be lost
Offers continuous availability by using staged rollouts of patches and backups
