The popularity of thin clients - in earlier days, versions of these
technologies went by such names as application service providers (ASP)
network computers, and the diskless workstation has waxed and waned. While
never a complete substitution for the traditional fat-client desktop, thin
clients are beginning to make a comeback. Companies like Novell, IBM and Sun
believe that corporate America is ready to give thin clients another try.
They, like other thin-client companies such as Tarantella, Citrix, and Wyse,
are once more wooing the corporate IT buyer with server-based, thin-client
desktop systems.
Why? There are many reasons, among them are: lower desktop support costs,
centralized management and improved security. At a time when not a day goes
by without news of yet another Windows virus or security problem, the
promise of a centrally-based and managed desktop that's not constantly under
siege is one that those companies believe will find today's businesses very
attractive.
Join Steven Vaughan-Nichols, editor of eWEEK.com's Linux & Open Source Topic
Center, and a panel of experts as they examine:
The problems with the traditional fat PC client today
The state of the thin clients today. This will be an overview of IBM, Novell
and Sun's efforts, along with a discussion of companies, such as Wyse, that
already support this approach
The five reasons thin-clients can work for some companies:
Better security
Better workstation management
Lower administration costs
Lower initial prices
Better overall network management
Why thin clients are for some, but not for others, and the best ways to
decide for your business
An overview of how companies should decide between thin and fat clients for
their near-future desktop
