The Benefits of Thin Computing

The combination of optimised hardware, software, and services allows Thin Computing to deliver six key benefits for any enterprise, business, or organisation. Microsolve promotes and makes use of the benefits and advantages that Thin Computing offers.

Security
Unlike PCs, thin clients have no local storage devices. So thin clients are not vulnerable to viruses and other malware as long as the servers are protected. Since there is no way to store and remove proprietary information from thin clients, that data is always safe on the server, and compliant with privacy regulations. And since nothing is stored on the desktop, there is nothing of easy value for thieves to physically remove. Security software is also easier to maintain, update, and upgrade on a few servers instead of hundreds or thousands of desktop systems.

Wyse Thin-Client Laptops

Wyse have been the global market leaders in Thin computing and client virtualisation. They have lead the way in changing how businesses and organisations implement and operate in a changing IT environment.

With the impact of the Global Financial Crisis and businesses watching their carbon footprints as well as the latest buzz surrounding Cloud Computing, Wyse's variations of Thin Terminals have cemented them in the marketplace.
Recent releases from the company have seen the emergence of Wyse Thin-laptops into the market. These laptops offer all the same benefits of Wyse's thin terminals, with the portability and mobility of standard laptops.

Wyse Thin Clients and the Environment

The days of having to make a capital purchase for software are gone.  Vendors such as Microsoft and Citrix have in place programmes that allow for the month to month "rental" of applications where you only have to pay for the "actual" amount of usage of that application - not the number of installed copies in any monthly period.
