Network Enabled Server environments developed quickly in the mid 1990s. Different approaches adopting diverse technologies have emerged and these environments have continued to evolve. In this paper we have envisioned the characteristics of an ideal NES environment for the perspective of usability and efficiency. It is hoped that this information, synthesized from Surveying many Network Enabled Server Environments, will facilitate developers in improving these environments. The perspective of administrators, application vendors, developers, owners and users on popular Network Enabled Server Environments are presented.
