Imagine that you are the business manager for your
university. What type of computer would you recommend for broad deployment in
the university’s computer labs – a standard desktop personal computer or a thin
client? Why?
Standard
desktop computer have a variety of advantages over both laptops and notebook
computers in term of the cost and accessibility. In the world of broad
deployment in the university’s computer lab thin client is suit the terms where
a lot of computers in the university need an application that runs on a
personal computer as well as workstations and relies on the server to perform
some operations. Using a client application that runs on the PC where the
functions are to send and receive data over a network to the server program.
Therefore, every subject will have a different program as well as their own
database.
For
big universities that have a many computer labs, thin client is planned to be
especially small so that massive data processing happens on the server itself.
University has their own programs on a University Server and allows any thin
client device to access standard university applications PC standardization for
the students. Thin client provide more flexibility and management solution and
allow increasing the number of IT devices needed for studying.
Advantages
of using thin client:
- · Straightforward
to set up as it does require no specific software installation.
- · Ease
safety risk
- · Standard
software, where anyone can use the same version of the applications
- · Decrease
troubleshooting, support as well as prevent from the costs of data
recovery
- · Less
Expensive and reduce maintenance costs
- · Improve
security where its secure to store documents and data files
- · Prevent
risk on conciliation software
- · Can
enlarge more workstation more reliable, easy to control and increase the
lifecycle of the workstations.
- · Can
access university IT resources from outside the college, provide students
with same right of entry same as those that living in the campus.
