A Thin Client is a computer that runs from resources stored on a central server instead of a localized hard drive. Thin clients work by connecting remotely to a server-based computing environment where most applications, sensitive data, and memory, are stored.

Thin clients have several benefits, including:

• Increased security
• More efficient manageability
• Scalability
