The Linux thin client is a comparatively cost-efficient way to the fat client, or what is referred to as the desktop. They are also great energy conservator as thin clients don’t really have fans or hard drives which consume so much electricity. On average, the user can save as much as 30-40% in electrical consumption by switching to thin clients alone. You can also do your bit for the environment as this type of technology reduces the carbon footprint. Less cost In the very restricted landscape, all the computing and software functions originate on the server. You can use and reuse old desktops that are already obsolete and repurposing them as new client devices. The Linux thin client will also encourage productivity as non-business activities like playing online games, for example, are eliminated. And because you reduce the functionality and parts to the most basic, the thin client device is more reliable and less prone to defects. The second benefit is less maintenance. With just one server to worry about, you can focus all your attention on a single point of management. A traditional desktop workstation will need maintenance after a year and the frequency increases the older it gets. In about four years, your desktop already needs replacement. This is not the case with the thin client. No proprietary fees Because Linux is open source software, you don’t have to pay for licensing or proprietary fees. The third benefit is that you can download the Linux Terminal Server Project software for free. And Linux is known for a strong developer community support. So even if you encounter some problems with your thin client environment you can either ask the thin client manufacturer (Constructeur Client Léger) or the online community of amateur programmers and developers. You can count the strong community support as the fourth advantage of using a thin client. The Linux community dedicated to the thin client server has been in existence for more than a decade and the members are very active in running the system through several real-life and theoretical scenarios possible. You can join any of the hundreds of groups and fire away your questions and somebody is sure to come up with a solution to your problems. Improved security Again, with only a single point of control you can throw everything including the phonebook at your server to make sure the data is protected inside and out. The Citrix thin client can be secured by restricting the data to the LAN. If you are handling really sensitive data, you can restrict the number of users to people really trust. You don’t to spend hundreds of dollars on anti-virus software and spyware, which don’t often work as viruses and Trojans become more sophisticated. IGEL Technology provides IT ecosystem from the traditional desktop environment to the Citrix thin client (Client Léger Citrix) can be secured by restricting the data to the LAN.
