Thin clients: benefits and savings of using thin clients

Much is being said about thin clients and the savings that can be obtained when switching to a server-based computing environment. Enterprises which have made the switch are reporting huge savings on support, hardware and upgrade costs, as well as spending less time on administration and end-user support. Furthermore, thin client computing allows employees to telework/roam more easily which is crucial in an age where the number of people telecommuting is forever on the increase.

This white paper describes the advantages of using thin clients as opposed to PCs (fat clients), and demonstrates how thin clients can produce cost savings both initially and over time. A simple formula is explained which allows you to quickly calculate the savings that your enterprise could make by switching to thin client computing.
