THE FIVE VALUE POINTS OF THIN COMPUTING

A thin computing strategy consists of some or all of these ﬁve areas,

which we’ll cover here:

1 Datacenter Strategy

2 Client Devices

3 Provisioning Software

4 Management Software

5 Virtualization Software

DATACENTER STRATEGY

Presentation Virtualization

Presentation Virtualization is a cost-efﬁcient way,

using software such as Citrix XenApp or Microsoft

Remote Desktop Services or Terminal Services,

to deliver access to centrally stored information

from anywhere. A server or server farm processes

applications and information, sending screens to the thin client desktop over a network

connection so that it appears to the worker as though everything were executing locally.

These solutions enable IT to deliver applications such as Microsoft Ofﬁce, SAP, and Oracle

to the desktop, rather than installing them at each desk. With this approach, applications run

simultaneously on the server, with each workers session isolated from one another. Presentation

Virtualization typically works well for more than 80 percent of a company’s applications. Thin

clients are an ideal endpoint for this solution, as complexity typically found in PCs is shifted

to the datacenter, where it can be more effectively managed, enabling employees to focus

on their work and be more productive.

Client Virtualization

Client Virtualization, or Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI, is a recent development in thin

computing. It’s an adaptation of virtualized server technology. Using enterprise virtualization

products like Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View, and Microsoft Hyper-VDI, a hypervisor runs

on the server hardware and manages multiple virtual machines within the server, with each

virtual machine containing a user’s workload, their operating system and applications. This

workload is accessed using a thin client, and modern protocols, (including Citrix HDX, Microsoft

RDP and RemoteFX (when available), and VMware View with PCoIP) deliver an experience like

a standard PC. Client Virtualization allows an OS, like Microsoft Windows, to execute in its own

dedicated virtual machine on the server. In this way, no two people’s applications can conﬂict

with one another. What’s more, with desktop environments consolidated within the data center,

organizations can deliver secure, isolated desktops that are always on, and securely accessible

from anytime and any device. Each thin client displays the environment to the user, is centrally

managed and can be placed anywhere on the network. Client Virtualization typically delivers

complete application compatibility.
