Thin Client
Architecture
Overview
Overview,
A Cloud Desktop, or thin client, is a remote computing device that connects a user’s
monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and other peripherals to remote PC blades
(computers) and to virtual desktops (VMs). As shown below, computing resources
are typically located in remote data centers.
Using a remote connection protocol, thin clients 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.
