What to call "server" software the requires a gui? [on hold]


We require a dedicated copy of our desktop application to be running to support a number of tasks. One of these tasks requires a 3rd party active x control that must be in a GUI to function correctly (vendor will not budge and no alternative in site).


This means that we essentially have "server" sofware that require an active user session, eg someone must logon before the "server" can run.


We have been trying to find a name or term to describe this setup. We cannot use the term "server" anywhere in the discussion as it brings up too many assumptions: beefy hardware, high cost, processes and services, major IT involvement, etc.


So the question is, what do you call "server" software that runs in user mode with a gui?
