With NComputing/Thin PC Solutions Turn Your PC into Multiple Users.. NComputing/Thin Clients technology turns everyday desktop systems into powerful multi-user platforms for reliable, low-cost, energy-efficient computing. As many as 30 simultaneous users can access a single PC using NComputing Vspace Virtualization Software and enjoy an independent desktop experience. Thousands of schools and businesses around the world have deployed their solutions to drastically reduce PC acquisition and maintenance costs while minimizing environmental impact.
Advantages of Thin Client:
A thin client (sometimes also called a lean or slim client) is a computer or a computer program which depends heavily on some other computer (its server) to fulfill its computational roles. This is different from the traditional fat client, which is a computer designed to take on these roles by itself. The specific roles assumed by the server may vary, from providing data persistence (for example, for diskless nodes) to actual information processing on the client's behalf.
Thin clients occur as components of a broader computer infrastructure, where many clients share their computations with the same server. As such, thin client infrastructures can be viewed as providing some computing service via several user interfaces. This is desirable in contexts where individual fat clients have much more functionality or power than the infrastructure requires.
Thin-client computing is also a way of easily maintaining computational services at a reduced total cost of ownership
Advantages of NComputing:
NComputing is a desktop virtualization company that manufactures hardware and software to create virtual desktops (sometimes called zero clients or thin clients) which enable multiple users to simultaneously share a single operating system instance
