What is Thin Client technology?

Thin client is a generic name for client machines on networks that deliver applications and data via a centralized computing model with the processing carried out by the server(s). This is also known as server-based or Cloud computing. Typically, the Thin Client terminal sends key strokes and mouse clicks to the server and the server sends screen updates to the terminal device. In comparison with the PC, nothing changes for the user (only his fat PC will disappear).

The new way of working

Working with your documents at the office, at home, at location, wherever you are and whenever you want. If this approach suits your demand, thin clients are the solution. Optimizing your infrastructure is very easily established. The only thing you have to decide upon is to run all your applications and save your data on the central server(s). This approach optimizes your efficiency and quality of work.

Reducing operational cost

Lowering your operational cost will be achieved when you change your pc's for Thin Clients. A Thin Client has a technical life time of over 10 years. Athena thin client products change only after 5 years making standardization easy. Power savings exceed 90%. A support engineer can handle 40 PC's where he can easily handle 160 thin clients. These points together with savings in depreciation, lower power consumption and higher efficiency lower your Total Cost of Ownership with more than 40%.

Security

Because there is no harddisk in a thin client there is no data to protect locally. Viruses, adware, spyware, botware or other threats have no chance. When a thin client is stolen no data is lost. Better security is impossible.
