With the current cloud version (1.26.605) there are a few rough spots. At least one user has been able to run on an iPad Air tablet (using Safari to launch the Citrix client).

Schwab officially supports Windows and Mac based systems with SSE on the cloud. In the past I had issues with SSE running on Chrome, but now it works well with Internet Explorer and Chrome.

So far Schwab has been keeping the features of the download and cloud versions of SSE well synchronized. If you’re using SSE and having performance problems with the downloaded version I suggest you give Schwab a call at 80 and sign up for the cloud version. It also added the ability for me to run SSE on my netbook when I’m on the road. I’m still not seeing blazing performance, but it’s comfortably fast-I can stay focused on the task at hand, rather than impatiently waiting for an update. With all the heavy computation moved to the Schwab server and no need to download large amounts of data to my machine I experienced a dramatic performance improvement in SSE. Option chain updates in particular were excruciatingly slow. The downloaded version of SSE runs fine on my Vista based machine (see for an updated review on the functionality), but was very slow on my reasonably powerful (Dual core 3.2 Ghz, 6 Gb RAM) system running Windows 7.

SSE in the cloud addressed a big performance problem that I’ve been having on my Windows 7 based machine. Instead you run a general purpose Citrix client that connects you to the Schwab server running StreetSmart Edge.

Schwab’s approach uses ’s session virtualization client to completely avoid putting their stock / trader specific software on your machine. The net result is that browsers are not ideal platforms for implementing advance trading platforms-however this is the approach that Fidelity is betting on with their offering. In addition to the proliferation issue, browsers are not good at adjusting to major differences in the display capabilities of your system-which might range from a small smartphone to a monster multiple monitor setup. The chart below shows my statistics on browsers (click to enlarge). Last month’s visitors to my blog used 21 different browsers to access the site, and on average there were 6 different version of each browser used.
However every browser and virtually every version of every browser implements these standards differently. Browser based solutions theoretically remove the need for a custom client, being based on internet standards like HTML. However, the proliferation of devices and operating systems with all their version permutations makes porting/supporting even a small custom client a daunting task.
In the past client / server software architectures implemented the same basic idea, putting a small custom application on the local computer and moving most of the heavy lifting to a centralized server. The only thing left for your computer to do is to refresh your display information and pass keystrokes / mouse inputs back to the Schwab server. It uses to shift the heavy memory and CPU requirements of SSE from your machine to theirs.
