The best of both worlds
Network applications have been divided into two distinct paradigms in recent years, and neither has been able to bring the full range of necessary capabilities to remote desktops. Both paradigms have strict functional limitations that make them less than ideal. HTML is bandwidth intensive, slow and page-based. Fat client/server requires large downloads in order to function, necessitating manual upgrades on every single machine, creating a real virus threat, and forcing developers to account for legacy clients that may still exist for the lifetime of the application.

The Droplets User Interface Server brings together the best of Web-based and local application delivery, while eliminating the disadvantages of each. Combining the end user benefits of client-side software with the administrative benefits of server-side software, the Droplets User Interface Server puts rich UIs on server-side software, providing your users with a universal user interface - even across devices.
