How Do Thin Clients Work?

Replace Desktop PCs

There is growing interest in how thin clients can replace desktop PCs. But how do thin clients work?

Thin clients run an operating system locally and carry flash memory rather than a hard disk. Since it has no hard drive or local storage, all applications and data are stored on a central server, but advanced thin client technologies help users still experience the same look and feel as on a PC.

Thin clients allow for local printing, audio and serial device support, Web browsing, terminal emulation and can combine local processing with network computing. Although PCs are somewhat inexpensive to purchase, as more PCs are required the cost of supporting and maintaining increases.
