What is a Thin-Client

The term "thin client" seems to be used as a synonym for both the Net PC and the network computer (NC) , which are somewhat different concepts.

The Net PC is based on Intel microprocessors and Windows software. (Intel was a leader in defining the Net PC specification.)

The network computer (NC) is a concept backed by Oracle and Sun Microsystems that may or may not use Intel microprocessors and would use a Java-based operating system.

Current Thin Technologies

These technologies currently fall into four categories

Network Computers (NCs)

NetPCs

Windows Terminals (Citrix WinFrame/MetaFrame and Microsoft Hydra)

Direct Connect technologies

Base Requirements

Memory

32 MB of RAM, plus 4-8 additional RAM (per user) to support users running their applications on the server

Network Protocol

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Client System Requirements

16-bit Terminal Server Client: Personal computer with an 80386 or higher microprocessor

Windows for Workgroups

8 MB of RAM

4 MB of available hard disk space

VGA or higher-resolution video adapter

High-density 3.5-inch disk drive

Network interface card (NIC) using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol

Microsoft serial mouse or 100 percent compatible

Client System Requirements

32-bit Terminal Server Client: Personal computer with an 80386 or higher microprocessor

(80486 or higher for Windows NT)

Windows 95 or Windows NT

8 MB of RAM for Windows 95, 16 MB for Windows NT

4 MB of available hard disk space

VGA or higher resolution video adapter

High-density 3.5-inch disk drive

Network interface card (NIC) using the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol

What are some advantages to using these products?

Cost effective A significant advantage of WinFrame is

that it can make newer Windows applications available to older PCs.

Everything can be done from a single point.
