14. Thin Clients
• Thin Clients - Advantages
• Thin Computing replaces the PC with a Thin or Zero Client.
• Today's PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of
applications only use a small fraction of the computer's capacity.
• Our Thin Clients tap unused capacity so that it can be
simultaneously shared by multiple users.
• Each user's monitor, keyboard, and mouse connect to the
shared PC through a small access device.
• The access device itself has no CPU, memory, or moving parts.
The result is the most secure and lowest possible cost for
computing access.
