Thread Application in a cloud

I am with a new situation: Deploy an application in the cloud.

My doubt is so simples, should I use C/S model or let the user access the files directly F/S ?

There are around 10 users and they will connect using TS in the same server (application + data)

Any tips/comments ?

Either will be fine in this case - I'd go c/s as i think it's more
flexible in this case (you're already on the internet). This way if
there is ever a chance of getting remote users or having to move dbsrvr
to another box you'd be all set.

For me does not matter because it is very easy (just one line in INI file) to change F/S to C/S or vice-versa.

I think the C/S will be a little slower than F/S even if the server share the same machine as client. But my concerns are about the famous situation to drop suddenly a connection (that should never happen but...) I think C/S is more robust because if the connection is droped then the server will disconnect the session after a dead session period preserving the integrity specially in the indexes.Do you agree with that ?

Thanks for share your opinion

C/S might be bit slower but unless you process very large amounts of
data i doubt users would notice.

I would agree on the disconnect side  - disconnects and windows TS
possibly ending the session (and running app instance) would be better
handled on C/S.
