| Forward
thinking IT managers and businesses from SOHO to enterprise are migrating
to thin client computing as an alternative to unreliable, expensive,
hard to deploy and maintain PCs - here are the reasons why: |
|
Greater
reliability - because they don't use external or internal storage
devices such as floppy's or hard drives, thin clients are inherently
more reliable. |
|
Lower
on-going cost to maintain - ten, one hundred, or even a thousand thin
client appliances located anywhere on a network can be managed through
remote management software. This dramatically reduces the time the
IT staff spends on fixing PC related problems. |
|
Faster
application deployment - Because software is installed and run on
servers and not on individual PC's, IT managers can deploy new applications
and upgrade existing ones in minutes. |
|
Maintain
data access - Existing data files and software applications are stored
on servers and not in individual PS's so IT managers and authorized
personnel can access them as required. |
|
Security
- thin client appliances are much more secure than PCs, since they
remove to the potential to become infected by viruses and preserve
important data. |
