Expert Microsoft Terminal Services Consultants

Terminal Server can enhances our customers' software deployment capabilities for a variety of scenarios that remain difficult to solve using traditional application distribution technologies. When users run an application on Terminal Server, the application execution takes place on the server, and only keyboard, mouse and display information is transmitted over the network. Users see only their own individual sessions, which are managed transparently by the server operating system, and remain independent of any other client session.

The obvious advantages of the thin client model over traditional desktop computing clearly represents a significant opportunity to reduce the annual hard and soft costs for managing a network.  These benfits include:

Reduced Hardward Costs: Thin clients generally cost about 75% less then a traditional PC. You save money on operating systems costs, hardware and software.

Simplified Administration: Instead of having to worry about administrating separate PC's it can now all be done centrally on the terminal server (or Citrix server). Thin clients require very little pre configuration before they can be deployed to a user in half the time it takes to deploy a regular desktop PC thus saving the administrators time to maintain and update users computers.

Standardization: Software upgrades and operations are now a much more simple process. Since all administration for software is done on the server you can now update or install an application in one place and have it available to all users instantly.

Protection from Data Loss: Since thin clients run on flash memory and all data is stored on the server. This means a centralized storage and backup system for your company data and litterally eliminating the threat of hard drive failures that are common on standard PC hardware.

Security: Thin clients are secure in that they cannot be infected by viruses or trojans and cannot be hacked. All security is controlled from a centralized point at the server meaning updates, upgrades and preventative measures such as virus scanning, spam scanning and spyware scanning are all done at one place.
