Thin Client Computing

Organizations spend billions of dollars each year to ensure that their desktop computer systems are secure, reliable, and agile. Thin Client Computing affordably eliminates most of these problems and expenses by providing access to the applications and information people need, without requiring the desktop systems to store them. Thin clients are computing devices that function as an access device on a network, they lack a hard drive and depend primarily on the central server for processing activities, purely focusing on conveying input and output between the user and the remote server. So, what are the benefits of this type of device?

• Thin Clients provide enhanced security because no information is stored locally making them easy to replace if they are stolen or damaged
• These devices help ensure business continuity as the data and applications are accessed from the network and not the device itself
• With no hard drive, fan or other moving parts, thin clients have a much longer lifespan than standard computers and use significantly less power
• According to a study by Gartner thin client annual savings have been measured as high as:
  • 79% less downtime cost per user
  • 48% overall lower total cost
  • 34% less in maintenance
  • 19% less to operate
  • 16% capital cost savings
• With no moving parts thin clients can operate better in dusty or dirty environments without the worry of PC fans clogging up or overheating
