An architecture in accordance with the present invention allows users (104), from the World Wide Web (WWW) (102), to easily and securely select, configure and access the unique computing resources and applications required to perform a given task. The result is a secure, reliable, configurable and scaleable computing infrastructure that can be put together at a moment's notice, modified at will, and discarded or downgraded when no longer needed. Expenses are incurred only for the amount of computing resources and applications used; once downgraded or disbanded, recurring expenses are minimized or eliminated entirely. The architecture comprises a universally available network (the Internet) (102), servers which are proprietary and owned by third parties (Citrix Winframe and ICA) (112), and the concept of allowing the user to actually build a business object specifically suited for their needs, which in turn is physically represented by and accessible through a programmatically-generated Web page (108). |
