Thin Client terminals are desktop devices designed as an alternative to standard PC stations.  The typical desktop computer consists of a large operating system and applications installed locally, which requires regular maintenance and support.  Thin Clients have an optimized operating system and graphical user interface with no applications installed locally and functions by connecting to a terminal service such as Windows, Citrix, or UNIX servers.  Programs are run via a server-side session that displays on the Thin Client screen.  This server-based computing alternative requires nearly zero administration at the desktop, which significantly reduces the cost of managing IT infrastructure.

FacilitaIT recommends Thin Client solutions for their inherent savings and strategic benefits.  Our clients have reported cost reductions in desktop maintenance, upgrades, training, and help desk response time.  The strategic benefits include, but are not limited to, application delivery on-demand, ease of deployment, corporate application standardization, remote user support improvement, and intellectual property theft prevention.  Thin Client solutions provide an organization with a cost effective solution that will decrease system downtime and improve redundancy for better disaster recovery capabilities.
