Thin Client Technologies
Thin Clients (TC) are
an alternative to Personal Computers (PC) widely deployed in business operations. They are marginally less expensive to buy,
but enormously less expensive to maintain. There are no disk drives to crash, no viruses, no productivity robbing games or
movies, and no way for a user to transfer files (unless authorized).
The great
thing about thin Clients is that once set up you can forget about them. I think we can all agree PC's are not that forgiving.
Thin Clients allow you to manage them right from your desk and provide shadowing which is a great training tool should you
install new software applications.
All models support PC peripherals such as
printers, modems, monitors, keyboards, and pointing devices. Windows CE models include a local IE Browser while Linux models
include a Mozilla Browser or Netscape.
Thin Clients are often used in challenging
environments where dust and airborne contaminants are a problem for PCs, but they are equally at home in office environments
where attractive styling and quiet operation (no fans) are important. The exceptionally small footprint, when vertically oriented,
frees up desk or bench space that is often in short supply.
Companies can choose from
a number of embedded operating systems ranging from ce.net, win xp, linux, citrix. Thin clients are excellent for multi- host
applications and are great twinax terminal replacements. Want to reduce your total cost of ownership? This is a viable way
to do that.
