Is thin client only useful for remote users?
Not at all – thin client offers a number of significant benefits even if you have a single office and no remote users. Since your applications are actually installed and running on the thin client server, and not on the individual PCs, managing them becomes vastly simpler. If you need to update your application software you only have to do it once – on the thin client server. If you need to deploy a new application to all your users, you only have to install it once – on the thin client server. The benefits are obvious. Another advantage of using thin client is that you no longer have to keep upgrading your PCs to keep up with new applications; the only software the PCs need is the thin client software, or simply a web browser and you can use virtually any old PC for that.
