Thin Clients

A thin client is a computer (client) which has little or no application logic, it depends primarily on the central Terminal Server for processing activities. Thin clients are an excellent alternative to terminals and PCs. They provide an excellent migration path from green screen terminals to Windows and web-based environments.

Thin clients significantly reduce IT expenses, while providing the same level of productivity and flexibility as PCs. In general, they are more secure and less expensive than PCs.

Basic Terminals

In basic thin clients, all application processing occurs on the server. There is no local processing and limited peripheral options. These are ideal for task-based or transaction-based users, and are often used as green screen replacements.

Low cost VT 100, 220, 5250 or 3270 hosted session terminal replacements
Low functionality
Very secure (no local processing)
Simple design, no moving parts
Support LCD flat screens and locally attached printers
Support USB peripherals
Remote management

Browser Terminals

Browser terminals (also referred to as robust thin clients) give you all the functionality of the basic thin client and add a local Window-like shell and browser software. This gives your user access to web based and terminal services hosted applications. Browser terminals are ideal for task based or transaction based users who need access to the web or web applications.

LOB Terminals (Line of Business Terminals)

LOB terminals (also referred to as flexible terminals) give you all the functionality of browser terminals and also enable local execution of limited applications (Xpe). These terminals give you the most PC-like flexibility, including options such as multiple USB ports, CD-Rom drives, PCI slots and internal expansion slots. Because of the added options and the ability to run some local applications, LOBs are the least secure of the thin clients.

Wireless Tablets

Using the latest in Wi-Fi technology, wireless tablets are portable Windows-based thin clients which provide access to web-enabled applications, Windows Terminal Services, Citrix Servers, IBM Midrange and Mainframe computers and UNIX/Linux hosts. Wireless tablets provide mobile connectivity ideal for many environments, including healthcare, manufacturing, distribution and warehousing.

Thin Client Advantages:

Lower IT Administration Costs

Thin clients are managed almost entirely at the server, have fewer points of failure, and the local environment is highly restricted therefore easier to protect from malware.

Easier to Secure

Most application data resides on the server. The administrator maintains total control over programs served to the end user.

Lower Hardware Costs

The terminal itself is less expensive because it has no disk, application memory or powerful processor. It also has a longer life cycle and will not need to be replaced with newer technology every couple years.

No Data Stored Locally

Back up one server point instead of multiple end points. Build redundancy on the server. Also helps adhere to government mandated environments that require SOX or HIPPA control of data.

Excellent for Hostile Environments

Because they have no moving parts or fans, they can be used in dusty environments.
