With a thin client, there are no moving parts on the desktop to break, and there is no RAM to add. Upgrade the processor, or add more RAM to the server, and all users on the network get a performance boost. But the total cost of ownership will be significantly lower. TCO could be 35 percent lower in limited-function environments, such as call centers. Beyond the cost issues, the centralized nature of the thin-client model is also increasingly appealing to business.
All corporate data can reside on a secure server with built-in backup and redundancy.
