What is Thin Clients?

A thin client is a lightweight computer that has been optimized for establishing a remote connection with a server-based computing environment. The server does most of the processing work, which includes launching software, performing calculations, and storing data. Thin clients are often used in environments where security and centralized management are important, such as in businesses, schools, and government organizations. They rely heavily on network connectivity to access resources from a central server.
