Thin Client Popularity on the Rise


According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, the trend towards thin client technology over high operating cost personal desktop computers is on the rise.  Lower maintenance fees and better
security benefits are substantial drivers in the movement.  

Thin ClientApplication servers offer improved security because all data is housed on the server, not the individual laptop or PC.  If a personal computer needs to be rebuilt or is damaged, the information on that computer
has a much higher risk of loss than if that
same information was stored on the central server.
