What is a Thin Client Appliance?
A new way to use
Windows
Thin clients (also called “thin client appliances”) are smart devices
that provide access to programs running on network servers. Once a
connection is made to a server, depending on the version of software
installed, you can use your favorite Windows programs such as
Microsoft
Office
or Adobe Photoshop
in the familiar Win-
dows
desktop, connect to LINUX/UNIX servers, mainframes and
minicomputers via telnet, terminal emulations, and X Window con-
nections, and connect to intranet / Internet applications through a
Web browser.
Generally as you work, your thin client sends keystrokes and mouse
clicks to the server, which responds with screen updates for your
monitor. Most of the processing occurs on the server. Due to the
speed of modern computer networks, this exchange happens as fast
as, and frequently faster than, processing on a personal computer.
Thin clients aren’t difficult to use. If you know how to use a personal
computer, or even if you don’t, you can use a thin client.
