RE: Thin Clients ?

I worked with one of my clients to install thin clients and terminal server.
Worked really well running 6 locations with 100 users across a frame
network.  It was a small environment and it really saved on the maintenance
of keeping the software updated.  They used 5250 to the 400 and MS Office.
We had no problems.

Thin clients and CITRIX are becoming a standard in banking, and now in many
school districts.  The advantage is that you can effectively create a
centerally managed, PC functionaly capable "dumb terminal" that the user
can't mess with.  In other words, the functionality of a PC, with the
security of a dumb terminal.

It's more expensive up front to implement, but because administration is so
much less than using fat clients, thin clients cost less than PC's (and
don't require replacing every year or two), and 100 other reasons, it's much
cheaper over time.

Hi Folks

Is anyone using thin clients instead of dumb terminals or PC's ?

If so, who's, what's the setup, etc. would be appreciated !

Thanks,

Chuck
