The new
combination of hardware and software solutions is known as
thin-client/server computing. Thin clients are devices that do
not include hard drives, floppy drives, fans, and other
components found in PCs. A thin-client device is not a computer.
It is a terminal that connects to a central computer, or server,
where software applications reside. The "fat"
application runs on the enterprise’s server, using centrally
stored data, while only a small amount of "thin" code
is executed on the thin client to run the color monitor, send
keystrokes and mouse clicks to server, and access the
applications on the server.
Unlike the PC, which executes the
applications locally, and therefore a computing device, thin
client give the user access to application and data which always
remain on the more powerful server. |

With the little software, no
applications, and no moving parts, thin clients promise a new era of
improved manageability and better solutions for security, safety from
viruses, ease of software upgrades, and many other IT concerns.
Simultaneously, thin clients continue to deliver complete access to
applications running under Windows and other operating systems. They
promise greater productivity and return on investment, and lower TCO
for the enterprise. They are technologically proven, with more than
500,00 already in use. And they are available today.

Thin Clients: Who are they For?
There are many reasons to adopt a
thin-client solution. A company is a good candidate for this
technology if it:
- Is ready to upgrade its investment
in older terminals and or PCs
- Is adding or upgrading a new client/
server network
- Has a number of branch offices
- Is standardizing application
platforms and configurations
- Needs to better manage its data
- Requires better security for data
- Is a heavy user of its intranets
- Relies on its network for mission
critical applications
- Has a significant number of workers
who need their computers for office applications, Internet access,
and email
- Is considering adding Microsoft®
Windows NT® or Windows 2000 to add email, internet, or year 2000
