Thin Client Computing
What is Thin Client Computing?
A thin client generally refers to a computer which is dependent upon the server to carry out the majority of its traditional work. It typically does not have the computing power or hard drive of a regular desktop pc or laptop and is therefore more favourably priced. Thin Clients are part of a network, and the client computer acts as an interface while the network server carries out all of the real work. In comparison with a regular PC or laptop, a thin client is unable to perform many functions of its own accord and in software terms it is a program which is mostly interface. The user of the thin client software is able to see all the data, tools, and features as they would on a normal piece of software, but the work is performed by another program running on a remote server. There are a number of reasons why companies may choose to use a thin client (both hardware and software versions) including reduced cost, ease of maintenance, straightforward use and security. Thin clients, unlike PCs, are typically not driven by memory, processor and hard drive space, and therefore the costs normally incurred by hardware are eliminated.
