Server-based computing is an increasingly popular alternative to having a PC on every desk. Samsung thin
client monitors take server-based computing to a new level of convenience and affordability. By combining
a premium quality LCD monitor with a built-in thin client in one space-efficient unit, they offer an even lower
total cost of ownership and simpler maintenance and support.

Thin Clients offer:
• High reliability
• Low power consumption, heat and noise generation
• High data security
• Ease of management
• Ease of updates
• Vastly reduced desktop maintenance costs
• Quick to swap out and replace
• Central processing, so ease of maintenance, backup,
server consolidation
• Less desktop space needed
• Ease of ability to change network configuration
• Ease of assigning user privileges
• Low cost of maintenance – no need for IT people
to be deskside
SBC (Server-Based Computing)
In SBC environments, multiple thin clients are connected to a
central server via the network. In big installations there may be
more than one server - it may be a cluster of terminal servers
with failover. This IT solution enhances efficiency of installation,
maintenance, security, and virus protection compared to the
conventional computing environment that consists of multiple PCs.
Thin Client
Each thin client provides basic computing functions: connecting
to a server via the network, transmitting input signals to the
server, and showing output of performance.

Avnet - the Thin Client
Specialist
The public sector spends £1bn a year on PCs
and has for some time questioned the security
implications of the technology. As a result the
government plans to move to thin client computers
to help tackle security issues. A move to a thin client
architecture will have major implications – Whitehall
alone uses more than 250,000 PCs and there are an
estimated five million across the whole public sector.
John Suffolk, Whitehall Chief Information Officer (CIO)

reseller partners and their end user customers to provide help and advise on all topics. They sell thin
client hardware and application delivery software solutions, including remote access software; application
streaming and virtual desktop. They offer services such as pre-configuration; installation; asset tagging;
bespoke device re- imaging; help with WEEE recycling of old kit and disposal of packaging, amongst
many others.
Why Thin Client?
The Personal Computer has ruled the roost for a considerable number of years and as a basic computing
tool has served its purpose well. However, over the years, the true costs of employing a computing device
which is open to abuse from both internal and external influences have become apparent. A thin client
at its simplest is a device which has no hard disk drive or fan, no huge operating system, no method of
storing data. It connects to a central computer via a network and allows key presses and mouse clicks to
be sent to the computer and allows screen updates to be transmitted back to the monitor. All computing
takes place in a server running Microsoft’s Terminal Server. As far as a user is concerned, they are using
a PC, they see the same response time, the same applications, the same flexibility. But, the application
is running on a remote server, no data is travelling between the client and the server. What this gives any
organisation is a computing system that is secure from virus attack, and hijacking of data; allows multiple
devices both on and off site to be managed from a remote location; does not need updating that often
(but if it does, can be done via the management tool); reduces network bandwidth costs; allows working
from home to be as secure as working on site; the low power consumption means a vast reduction in
consumed power and heart generation; if a unit goes wrong it is simply swapped out – no lengthy re-
imaging tasks required. The choice is simple.
