A thin client (sometimes also called a lean or slim client) is a client computer or client software in client-server architecture networks which depends primarily on the central server for processing activities, and mainly focuses on conveying input and output between the user and the remote server.
|
In contrast, a thick or fat client does as much processing as possible and passes only data for communications and storage to the server.
Why use Thin Client instead of a regular PC?
The main reason thin clients are better than PCs is because they offer "Lower Total Cost of Ownership". By reducing maintenance and install time, thin clients keep downtime to an absolute minimum.
An example would be if you owned a Server and 10 PCs and needed to update your software... If you were using regular PCs, you would need to reinstall and configure all 10 PCs one at a time.

 |
But with thin clients you would simply make the update once on the server and all 10 thin clients would realize the update immediately.
Lanos Business Communications can provide you with a range of HP and Neoware Thin Client solutions.
