Challenge
More than ever, business leaders are focused on growing revenues, containing costs and providing a higher level of customer support, whilst reducing the cost of business support activities, such as IT costs. One method of achieving these apparently contradictory goals is through the use of thin-client computing.
Overview
Flavor Technology knows that the fundamental approach behind thin-client computing is simple. Instead of running all applications locally on PCs with all of the associated challenges and costs, applications run centrally and simply deliver screen updates and inputs to clients. If the concept sounds familiar, that's because it is effectively mainframe computing and dumb terminals on steroids! All the benefits of centralized servers and support staff are realized, as are most of the benefits of powerful PCs on desks, including popular Windows applications. Continued Further Down
Technical Features and Advantages
A thin client is a device that relies on a server for application execution and data, and performs little or no application processing. Thus, a thin client (often called a terminal) requires relatively small amounts of RAM and local disk storage capacity. Read More...
Business Benefits
What are the Benefits of Thin Client Computing?
- Greater client security features ranging from no hard drive to compromise to lower risks of viruses and hackers, thanks to the centrally managed protection compared with fat clients' more decentralized approach.
- IT cost savings of 30%-70% can be realized. Read More...
