Thin Client
Architecture
Overview

A 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.
