This book is an in-depth look at a hot new Windows-based technology--thin clients that reduce total cost of ownership by moving applications and administrative functions from the desktop to the server. This radical technology lets machines in the "dumb terminal" category run sophisticated Windows software, minus the costs and headaches of traditional PCs.

A thin client is a Network Computer that runs Windows programs, providing the infrastructure that enables an Intranet to reach its full potential. The benefits of thin client computers are the comparatively low cost and the ability to manage these machines centrally, providing convenience and efficiency. Employees who need computers but don't use them intensively can use thin clients to access corporate databases and corporate publishing through a Web browser, for email, for word processing, and even for GroupWare. This is a straightforward book that will be useful to officers, executives, supervisors, and many others who wish to implement and use thin clients on an Intranet.

Thin-Client/Server computing model removes almost all the vulnerabilities of hardware failures, OS crashes and data losses at Client System, which are so very common in an enterprise network having large number of hardware & software components. This book deals with the practical aspects of the technology.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, Note: 1,7, FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Frankfurt früher Fachhochschule (FOM), Veranstaltung: IT-Infrastruktur, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Server Based Computing bietet in Hinsicht auf Management, Sicherheit und Wirtschaftlichkeit viele Vorteile gegenüber den klassischen PC-Umgebungen. Zudem werden Ressourcen gespart und der Energiebedarf drastisch gesenkt. Mit dem Titel "Green IT" kann diese Tatsache sogar zu einem Imagegewinn des Unternehmens führen. Durch die Verlagerung der Komplexität von Desktop-Support auf die Server werden die IT-Abteilungen von zusätzlichen Wartungs- und Betreuungsaufgaben der so genannten Fat Clients entbunden. Auf die Bedeutung dieses Begriffs wird im weiteren Verlauf näher eingegangen. Bei Server Based Computing werden die Anwendungen und Informationen auf dem Server verwaltet und über das Netzwerk den Nutzern zur Verfügung gestellt. Dadurch bleiben die Informationen und Anwendungen in Hinblick auf Sicherheit und Verlust geschützt. Diese Hausarbeit stellt eine Übersicht über Server Based Computing und der darin benutzen Thin Clients dar und beschreibt Vor- beziehungsweise Nachteile dieser Technik.

The book consists of HOW-TOs for all elements of setting up a thin client network, as well as expert advice on decision making, based on the authors experience creating a thin client network for the city of Largo, Florida. The book is for System Administrators interested in designing and setting up a Linux thin client network and provides enough knowledge to understand how the technology works, make decisions about deployment, and then implement a stable work environment.

This title focuses on using Java for building network computing solutions. The CD-ROM includes sample code from the book and free software, including Visualage for Java, Lotus Bean Machine, Servlet Express, Web Runner Bean Tools, and Lotus Domino Go Web server.

Thin Client like never before. A lean customer (sometimes as well named a slant either thin client) is a computer either a computer programme that relies deeply on a few different computer (its server) to achieve its data processing parts. This is dissimilar as of the customary large customer, that is a computer developed to take on those parts by its normal self. The concrete parts presumed by the server might differ, as of delivering information perseverance (for illustration, for diskless nodes) to real data handling on the client's behalf. There has never been a Thin Client Guide like this. It contains 280 answers, much more than you can imagine; comprehensive answers and extensive details and references, with insights that have never before been offered in print. Get the information you need--fast! This all-embracing guide offers a thorough view of key knowledge and detailed insight. This Guide introduces what you want to know about Thin Client.
