ZERO+ Client
Overview
A ZERO+ Client is a remote computing device that connects a user’s monitors, keyboard,
mouse, speakers, and other peripherals to remote computers and to virtual desktops (VMs).
As shown below, computing resources are typically located in remote data centers.
ZERO+ Clients use a remote connection protocol to enable users to work on a blade or VM as
if it is a local PC. See the documentation for the remote protocol application that you use for
additional information.
