Improvements in bandwidth network connections and data centre architectures now allow thin computing solutions to run at desktop speeds, with comparable multimedia capabilities.  

Benefits include:

• Lower administration costs. Thin clients are mainly managed at the server meaning that the hardware has fewer points of failure and the local environment is more restricted.
• Lower hardware costs because it does not contain a disk drive, application memory, or a powerful processor. 
• Better for the environment. Thin client hardware has much lower energy consumption than ordinary PCs. Also less heat is generated, which means lower air conditioning bills and a lower carbon footprint.
• Less Wasted Hardware. Redundant computer hardware is very environmentally damaging as it is difficult to dispose of effectively. Thin clients have a longer service life.
• Reliability. Thin Client technology is solid-state and therefore has no moving parts.
• Easier security. Security can be centralized, so that no application data is stored on the client.
• Easier hardware failure management, a replacement can simply be swapped in while the client is repaired.
• Reduced bandwidth requirements, as the data remains on the server rather than being transferred across, therefore valuable bandwidth is preserved. 
• Scalability. As installation simply involves plugging in a few cables, a system is easily and quickly scalable and does require as much valuable IT resource.
• A quieter working environment. As a thin client produces less heat, internal cooling fans are not required, which means less noise is generated.

Civica Connect are able to provide both standard thin client terminals and now also thin client laptops. All of our solutions can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.
