Thin Clients White Papers
Thin-Client Desktops: Not Defunct Yet
Overview Thin-client computing has been around for a decade, but the rising costs of updating software and installing security patches on networked personal computers is sparking renewed interest in the technology, according to users and industry experts. Unlike traditional PCs, thin-client desktop systems do not have local storage capabilities and rely on servers to provide processing power. As a result, they generally are considered to have a much lower cost of ownership than PCs. They can also limit desktop users' ability to steal data from other machines or inadvertently introduce viruses.
