Benefits of Thin Client Computing Explained
Simplicity often carries many advantages. This is true of server based computing, the concept of server based computing is a simple one that carries with it many different advantages. These include:
Manageability
As applications and data are centralised and run on servers, rather than locally on PCs, firmware and software upgrades across the network can be deployed by an IT manager remotely with a click of a mouse.
Cost Savings
Not only are the initial purchase prices for thin clients much less than comparable PCs, but they are cheaper to manage and run than PCs.
The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) for clients is often quoted around 50% cheaper than a PC.
Multiply that cost saving across how many PCs run an organisation's system and the end result
can be quite staggering.

Security
As thin clients have no storage capabilities and run no applications or data locally they are much less of a security risk than PCs. With no facility to load external data (or take confidential data) or viruses onto the network, via a WBT, this massively reduces the risks of stolen or corrupt data occurring.
It also frees up resources so that security can be focused in one area (around the central server) rather than spread across the network.
Reliability
With no moving parts, there is less that can go wrong, and with no software loaded onto the thin client there is no opportunity for software glitches.
User Flexibility
Thin clients allow access to the central server and data. So remote workers can operate from any workstation, at any office location, any time.
Connectivity
Thinspace thin clients can connect to the majority of virtualisation technologies, such as Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix, VM Ware, Quest vWorkspace, Ericom Web Connect, Sun Global Desktop plus many others.

Who uses our products?
We have found the desktop replacement Thinspace clients to be excellent!
They take less than a 5 minutes to setup. They are simple, capable of multiple connection protocols
(e.g. Citrix, RDP, VNC to name a few) and include a centralised management console.
The devices boot up very quickly and work seamlessly just like a normal desktop.
