Thin Client is an architecture that enables access to applications and data from a centralised server, rather than storing and processing on local devices.
Thin Client architecture offers some significant advantages over a conventional "Thick Client" architecture:
Our Thin Client Solutions can be configured as diskless workstations that download and boot their operating system from a central location (Linux only). This configuration is ideal for organisations such as education or training institutes that need to provide a cost effective and consistent desktop image to many students on low end hardware.
Alternatively, a Thin Client can boot from a lightweight local image that then accesses applications and data remotely.
The diagram provides a simplified overview of a Thin Client architecture utilising our cloud services. However, the the image server can also be located locally in your office.
