Thin clients are a powerful solution for today's healthcare, financial, education and other industries. For highly standardized tasks and keeping up to date with the latest software and virus protection, a thin client network is not only economical but easier for IT administrators to manage. Many Thin client Central customers are finding that making the transition from older dumb terminals or desktop PCs to a thin client network is easy, cost effective and secure.

Efficiency
 
Thin clients use software and data from network servers. Data from different workstations or different locations is entered into or retrieved from a centralized database. There are no hard drives or floppy drives, so entered data can only be saved to the central server. Upgrades can be performed remotely, so that the IT department does not need to travel to various locations. Backup of important data only needs to be done on the central.

With no moving parts to break down, Thin clients are likely to last longer than desktop PCs. Workstations are standardized, using the same applications, with the same interface, making them easier for healthcare staff to use. Thin clients are simple to install and set up and are always on, making important patient data immediately accessible to an entire team of healthcare professionals.

Security

Since there is no hard drive or floppy drive, thin clients are protected from the use of unauthorized software or the introduction of viruses. Data cannot be copied to a disk or saved to any other location than the central server. Centralized processing makes it easy to manage and monitor system access and to enforce security policies and procedures, so that internal security risk is minimized.

Economy

Not only do thin clients cost less to purchase than desktop PCs (especially if you decide to implement our top quality Refurbished models), but because they have fewer moving parts, they usually have a longer useful lifespan. Reduced IT costs are part of the bargain when upgrades and backups are handled by a central server. Your company may also benefit from energy savings by switching to thin clients.
