Lower Malware Infection Risks Hardware Thin Client For Server-based Computing
A thin client is an aesthetically slim PC used as an access point for server-based computing. It has fewer parts and requires fewer components to run; hence, it has numerous cost efficiency advantages. The benefits are remarkable.
Benefits and Savings of using Thin Clients Saving
Thin client computing is booming and not without reason: It’s solving the growing management problem of PCs (fat clients), and is introducing huge savings on support, hardware and upgrade costs. Furthermore, it is allowing employees to telework/roam more easily. Various enterprises which have made the switch are reaping the benefits, reporting huge cost savings, as well increases in reliability and productivity. Thin clients are proven to be more reliable and easier to manage than PCs (fat clients). They rely on the principles of server-based computing (SBC) – a technology whereby applications are deployed, managed, supported and executed on the server and not on the client – solving the many fundamental problems associated with managing the applications on the client itself.
1) Lower Operational Costs - An office environment where several workstations are involved can access a single server unit, thereby reducing the operational costs covering these related actions:
· Setting up the device takes less than ten minutes to accomplish.
· The lifespan of a "client" unit is very long, since there are no moving parts inside. The only parts that need constant replacements are the peripherals that are external to the PC. This means that when something breaks at the "client’s" end, it can be as easy as taking a replacement unit to replace the broken one. Even wear and tear is considerably unnoticeable.
· Energy efficiency - A slim unit is said to consume 20W to 40W as opposed to the regular thick PC, where power consumption during operation mode consumes 60W to 110W. In addition, the thin PCs need little or no air conditioning at all, which literally means less operating costs. Whatever air conditioning needed is demanded and supplied at the server area.
· Work efficiency - Its work environment can be far-reaching and extensive; as it can provide quick access to remotely located workers simultaneously operating on server-based computing.
2) Superior Security – Since users will only have access to the server by network connections, security measures like different access levels for different users can be implemented. That way, users with lower access levels will not be able to see, know, or in worst case scenarios, hack into the confidential files and applications of the entire organization. They are all secured at the server’s end, which is also a way of securing data files in the event of natural disasters. The servers will be the only machines that need to survive the disaster as the main location of all the saved data. Immediately after the disaster, new "clients" can easily be connected to the server, for as long as the latter remains intact.
3) Lower Malware Infection Risks – There is a very slim chance of getting malware on the server from a thin client because inputs to the server only come from the keyboard, mouse actions, and screen images. The PCs get their software or programs from the server itself; hence, patches, software updates and virus scanning applications are being implemented only on the server's end. It follows that the servers will be the one to process information and store the information afterwards.
4) Highly Reliable – Business organizations can expect continuous service for longer durations since thin clients can have a lifespan of more than five years. In as much as these units are built as solid state devices, there is less impact from wear and tear through constant use.
