Benefits of Thin Clients

Thin Client architecture computing can have many benefits to businesses.  Just some of the benefits are as follows:

• Lower Admin Costs - Management is entirely carried out centrally at the server reducing the points of failure.
• Lower Hardware Costs - Clients require a minimal specification compared with usual PCs.
• Easier to secure - No application data resides on the client, centralising malware and virus protection.
• Lower Energy Consumption - Fewer processors, fans, circuit boards, etc are required per workstation vastly reducing the power needed.  The advantage is not only reduced electricity, it is a greener IT solution.
• No value to thieves - If a client terminal is stolen it will be useless to most because it does not have any processing power.
• Hostile Environments - Because the terminals do not have any moving parts, they can be used in places normal PCs cannot, such as dusty factories and industrial workzones.
• Increased Scalability - It is easier to increase the processing power of the central server than individual computers across multiple sites.
