Replacing PCs with more efficient thin clients can reap business, environmental
benefits When it comes to corporate computer networks, it's smart to be thin—even
if that means the machines on your employees' desks are dumb. Thin client computers
are designed to be dumb: They are stripped-down devices that run programs and store
data on central servers, unlike conventional PCs which work from their own processors,
disk drives and memory.
Why adopt thin clients? According to Hewlett Packard, a leading manufacturer of
thin terminals, "Thin clients provide a higher level of security, can reduce maintenance
costs and consume less electricity compared to other desk-based computing products."
