Know The Thin Client Network

    Thin Client is a centralized computer network, the user is using a computer with specs
minimum run applications, use of data and the server computer. The concept is similar to the centralized mainframe technology that uses the terminal ASCII / ANSI. The difference is, the thin client using Windows, full color, complete with mouse, fonts and even voice.

    The main advantages of thin clients are: ease of maintenance with a single administration is only done through the server, such as the installation / update the application, the determination of users, disk quotas, system security and users are free to use any computer, it can even be accessed directly from the Internet, if the server is connected to Internet. This facilitates the use of thin clients outside the office, branch offices, kiosks, point of service without requiring conversion of existing applications, for example by using Java, Web and so forth.

    The second advantage is that it can use existing computers (DOS / Windows 31/Windows95):
with or without hardisk.Kedua this advantage, leading to a reduction in administrative costs that are usually done perkomputer. Also obtained an investment savings, ie, no need for upgrade or replacement of the existing computer or if you buy a new computer can be a minimum specification (16MB RAM, no hard drive).
    The main key to success lies in the use of thin client Server: the server specifications with consideration of the determination of user load, application used, the desired speed and reliability (contingency plan). Some studies, showed 35-57% cost savings compared with using regular computer network. Suppose taken thin client savings 35%, compared to using a computer network computer network biasa.Investasi usual; H / W / S / W, network, upgrade, costing $ 9,000 4), the savings obtained $ 9,000 x .35 = $ 3.150 savings per year or $ 263 per month or USD 2.63 million/computer If using a new thin client computer (Compaq, IBM, Dell), worth USD 6 million, then within 21/2 months already behind the Capital.
