A thin client, sometimes called a lean client, is a low-cost, centrally-managed computer devoid of CD-ROM players, diskette drives, and expansion slots. All features typically found on the desktop PC, including applications, sensitive data, memory, etc., are stored back in the data center when using a thin client.
Thin clients are a part of a computer network technology based on the idea that the data is stored and processed on central servers, so-called server-based IT. When a minimum of operations is performed on the user’s local unit, specially designed hardware can be used to replace the regular personal computers in the network.
