Security
Unlike PCs, thin clients have no local storage devices. It is not vulnerable to viruses and other malware. Since there is no way to store and remove proprietary information from thin clients, that data is always safe on the server, and compliant with privacy regulations. And since nothing is stored on the desktop, there is nothing of easy value for thieves to physically remove. Security software is also easier to maintain, update, and upgrade on a few servers instead of hundreds or thousands of desktop systems.
Manageability
Backing up data is easy, since all the data resides on the server. Since all applications are stored and delivered from the server, updates can be performed at the server level, eliminating the need for manual updates of individual systems. This also improves version control for applications.
Availability
There are no moving parts to fail because thin clients have solid-state technology. And with no local storage, there is no chance for an individual system to come under attack from viruses and malware. Plus, should a thin client ever fail, the data is always instantly available to another system from the server.
Reliability
Thin clients are 10 times more reliable than PCs because there are no mechanical parts, such as fans or disk drives, to break down. With no local storage of applications or data, it is impossible to download viruses, malware, or software that causes conflicts with more mission-critical applications. We pushing storage and computing power to more reliable servers, thin computing dramatically increases the reliability of the entire infrastructure.
Total Cost of Ownership [TCO]
Thin clients low initial purchase cost. On average, thin clients can save you more than Rs.40000 per seat per year in maintenance costs. This can be as much as a 40-percent savings for most IT departments, a significant savings for organizations whose IT budgets are primarily allocated to maintenance.
Scalability
The greatest challenge for rapidly expanding enterprises, businesses, and organizations is rapidly deploying systems. With thin computing, the only set up required in a remote office is plugging in three or four cables. The rest of the set up can take place in the data center.
