Thin Clients White Papers
Switch to Thin Clients Boosts Builder's Productivity
Overview Privately held construction and building group BGC has ousted half of its fleet of Wintel PCs in favour of thin clients running Solaris in order to "Go forward" with service delivery to the company's employees. BGC's IT director said the main benefit in moving to a thin-client architecture is a reduction in manpower required to "Feed" desktops. BGC has a single Sun server at each Sun Ray site and is looking at migrating the remainder of its desktops over to thin clients with the possibility of Linux instead of Solaris. BGC was also an early adopter of Linux as its network infrastructure for e-mail, DNS, and file-sharing is hosted on Debian GNU/Linux dating back in 1998.
