| | Thin client - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thin client hardware, whether dedicated or simply older hardware that has been repurposed via cascading, is useless or of little interest outside a client-server environment. | | | A thin client is a computer (client) in client-server architecture networks which has little or no application logic, so it has to depend primarily on the central server for processing activities. | | | A thin client does most of its processing on a central server with as little hardware and software as possible at the user's location, and as much as possible at some centralized managed site. |

| | Client (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A client is a computer system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. | | | These dumb terminals were clients of the time-sharing mainframe computer. | | | Thin clients utilize as few resources on the host computer as possible. |

| | Thin (Client Computing, that is) Is In |
| | Thin "intelligent" desktop devices are optimized for fast graphical display processing and "thin" software enhances the functionality of the desktop device--together, creating a computing solution that is easier to support and manage centrally. | | | Thin client computing is an attractive solution for organizations looking to control costs and complexity. | | | Today, the term thin client computing defines a network-based approach to information processing that is comprised of both hardware and software elements. |

| | Thin Client Computing |
| | Thin client is a growing technology because it promises to bring some sanity back to the cost of computing. | | | Java would provide a modern, colorful, windowing user interface at the workstations, and the workstations would have their own computing power for good performance, but all the software would live back on the central server where it could be easily and inexpensively maintained. | | | Java and Web based thin client computing is still mostly custom development in larger companies, but as it sinks in, it will be migrating to smaller businesses. |

| | Thin Client @ SchoolSM |
| | Thin clients are small, computing devices that replace desktop and laptop computers for easy, low-cost access to the Internet and most applications. | | | Thin clients come in many shapes and sizes with expansion options and legacy ports, including small, standalone devices, clients integrated into monitors, and mobile tablet-type computing devices. | | | The idea behind thin-client computing is simple: centralize computing power, storage, applications, and data on servers. |

| | What is Thin Client Computing ? |
| | In summary, Thin Client Computing is the next generation of computing. | | | A Thin Client need only have sufficient power to render the display of your user session, therefore it does not need to be replaced or upgraded as new software and hardware versions are released. | | | Thin Client/Server Based Computing is defined by the fact that applications are executed on dedicated servers while the desktop device only needs to provide the display. |

| | NCTE (National Centre for Technology in Education) - Thin Client Networks |
| | A thin client network operates by concentrating computing power on a central server, with 'client' machines (i.e., computers connected to the network) doing much less work locally. | | | There are a number of devices that can function as clients, but from a school's perspective, desktop computers are the most familiar type of device. | | | Older, 'outdated' machines are ideally suited for use as client devices, as their low-end specifications do not directly affect their ability to run more sophisticated software programs. |
