01 March 2005

Today the term "thin-client computing" defines a network-based approach to information processing that comprises both hardware and software elements. Together, thin-client hardware and software translate to simpler, more cost-effective access to information.

A thin-client PC is a "box" coupled with software to make it look and function like a standard thin client. Thin-client PCs provide all the advantages of thin clients such as ease-of-management, reliability and increased control, while avoiding the known limitations associated with typical thin-client devices.
