Reliability and Availability   There are significant benefits to running calculations on servers instead of on client computers. Offloading calculations to servers frees users' computers and takes advantage of the server's additional computing power for long-running calculations. Calculating on a server provides the high reliability and availability of redundant, enterprise-class systems and dramatically reduces risks that are associated with system failure.
