The browser application is designed to run either locally or from a server. Normally
it resides and is run locally. Based upon the number of users running an
application, the processing power of the server, the types of operations being
performed by the users with the application, and the type of network connection
between the terminal and the server, it may be more advantageous to run the
application from a server rather than locally. The application and reasons to choose
local or remote operation are described in this chapter.

If you choose to run the browser remotely, it can be
done via either ICA or RSH. Refer to the on-line help
for instructions.
You may want to run the browser remotely for any of the following reasons:
• Heavy processing is better supported on a server.
• You have adequate network bandwidth at your location.
• Few users are on the network.
• You require specific plug-ins or mime types.
• You must save Web pages to a file.
