The server-side infrastructure uses\u00a0cloud computing\u00a0software such as\u00a0application virtualization, hosted shared desktop (HSD) or\u00a0desktop virtualization\u00a0(VDI). This combination forms what is known as a cloud-based system where desktop resources are centralized at one or more\u00a0data centers. The benefits of centralization are hardware resource optimization, reduced\u00a0software maintenance, and improved security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Example of hardware resource optimization: Cabling, busing and I\/O can be minimized while idle memory and processing power can be applied to user sessions that most need it.<\/li><li>Example of reduced software maintenance:\u00a0Software patching\u00a0and\u00a0operating system\u00a0(OS) migrations can be applied, tested and activated for all users in one instance to accelerate roll-out and improve administrative efficiency.<\/li><li>Example of improved security: Software assets are centralized and easily fire-walled, monitored and protected. Sensitive data is uncompromised in cases of desktop loss or theft.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thin client hardware generally supports a keyboard, mouse, monitor, jacks for sound peripherals, and open ports for\u00a0USB\u00a0devices (e.g., printer, flash drive, webcam). Some thin clients include legacy serial or parallel ports to support older devices such as receipt printers, scales or time clocks. Thin client software typically consists of a\u00a0graphical user interface\u00a0(GUI), cloud access agents (e.g.,\u00a0RDP,\u00a0ICA,\u00a0PCoIP), a local\u00a0web browser,\u00a0terminal emulators\u00a0(in some cases), and a basic set of local\u00a0utilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ZERO-CLIENT-X6N-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ZERO-CLIENT-X6N-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ZERO-CLIENT-X6N-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ZERO-CLIENT-X6N-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ZERO-CLIENT-X6N-6-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Zero-Client-R1-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Zero-Client-R1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Zero-Client-R1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Zero-Client-R1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pcstationcn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Zero-Client-R1-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A\u00a0thin client\u00a0is a lightweight\u00a0computer\u00a0that has been optimized for\u00a0establishing a remote connection\u00a0with a server-based computing environment.
