Server access via web interface: Simpler, more centralised, more efficient

IT infrastructures must be flexibly accessible. Server access via a web interface enables exactly that: users access applications, desktops or individual programmes via the browser - without local installation and without VPN configuration.

Basic principle

Instead of accessing via a remote desktop client or special software, access is via a secure web interface. The user logs in with their access data and 2-factor authentication and then works in a virtual session.

The browser thus becomes a universal access point - regardless of end device or operating system.

Advantages of a web interface for server access

1. simple provision

• No installation of special client software

• No configuration effort on user devices

• Access via almost any internet-enabled device

This significantly reduces support costs and speeds up the commissioning of new workstations.

2. central administration

• User rights are managed on the server side

• Applications only need to be installed and maintained once

• Updates are centralised

IT administrators retain full control while users work with a standardised environment.

3. high security

• Data remains on the server

• No sensitive information on end devices

• Option to secure with SSL, firewall and multi-factor authentication

• Access to the web interface only possible from desired countries.

This is a decisive advantage, especially for home offices or mobile workstations.

4. location-independent working

Whether in the office, working from home or on the move - access is via a normal browser. This facilitates flexible working models and simplifies collaboration.

Economic advantages

A browser-based server access reduces:

• Investments in high-performance workstation computers

• Installation and maintenance costs

• Support times for client problems

The infrastructure becomes leaner, more standardised and easier to plan.

Operating models: Own server or data centre

Operation on your own server

Companies can operate the solution on their existing server infrastructure. Advantages:

• Full data control

• Integration into existing systems

• Individual customisation options

Suitable for organisations with their own IT department and existing hardware.

Operation in the data centre

Alternatively, the environment can be operated in a professional data centre. Advantages:

• High availability

• Redundant infrastructure

• Air conditioning, emergency power, physical security

• Scalability as required

Internal IT costs are reduced, while professional framework conditions are utilised at the same time.

Server access via a web interface simplifies the IT landscape considerably. It creates centralised control, increases security and enables location-independent working with minimal installation effort.

Companies benefit from lower operating costs, a clear structure and a high degree of flexibility - regardless of whether the solution is operated in-house or in an external data centre.
