We offer Linux-based thin client systems for your office. What are thin clients? Thin clients reduce the per seat cost of computer services by placing all the computing burden on a single server, while users work at relatively inexpensive diskless terminals or "thin clients". Modern desktop computers are overpowered for most of the average uses in a typical office environment. By placing the workload for your office computers on one dedicated application server, the client machines that users interact with can be older and less powerful, but perform just as well. These client machines have no hard drives, and so are called diskless workstations or thin clients. In effect, the computer on the worker's desk becomes an appliance, easily replaceable and with virtually zero maintenance, because only the server has real data on it. Setting up a work environment for a new employee is just as simple as creating a new user profile on the server, usually no additional licenses for office suites or other software are required. And since all the thin client machines are the same, the employee's work environment can follow him to whichever client machine he works at. Your security is improved as well because the application server is the only machine that needs to be backed up, and defended against intrusion. Thin clients provide cost savings on hardware and on administration, increased flexibility in setting up your office environment, and increased security. |
