With desktop environments consolidated within the data center, organizations can deliver secure, isolated desktops that are always on. And each thin client is centrally managed and accessible from anywhere on the network. This allows IT departments to:

• Lower IT admin costs. Thin clients are managed almost entirely at the server. The hardware has fewer points of failure and the local environment is highly restricted (and often stateless).
• Easier to secure. Thin clients can be designed so that no application data ever resides on the client (it is entirely rendered).
• Lower hardware costs. Thin client hardware is generally cheaper because it does not contain a disk, application memory, or a powerful processor. They also generally have a longer period before requiring an upgrade or becoming obsolete. The total hardware requirements for a thin client system (including both servers and clients) are usually much lower compared to a system with fat clients. One reason for this is that the hardware is better utilized. A CPU in a fat workstation is idle most of the time. With thin clients, memory can be shared. If several users are running the same application, it only needs to be loaded into RAM once with a central server. With fat clients, each workstation must have its own copy of the program in memory.
• Lower Energy Consumption. Dedicated thin client hardware has much lower energy consumption than PCs. This not only reduces energy costs but may mean that in some systems are not required or need not be upgraded which can be a significant cost saving and contribute to achieving energy saving targets.

Apply Education Unit of Thin Client Infrastructure

TERMTEK provides greater security, enhanced manageability, improved reliability, and lowers costs for hundreds of educational institutions around the globe. Because thin client appliances have no hard drives or floppy drives, all data is saved on the server so information cannot be stolen or lost. The appliances need a server to be useful, so theft is minimized. Unwanted applications cannot be saved on the device. Thin clients are also virtually immune from viruses.

TERMTEK Remote Management software enables educational institutions to run applications on mainframes, operating systems from any desktop running Windows or Linux.
