Understanding Thin Client Technology
Hardware and software thin clients enable mobility for organisations by enabling remote access and server-based computing environments. Thin clients are characterised by a client operating system which can be managed, secured and controlled centrally through a management console.
IT can control access to desktops and applications remotely without any intervention whatsoever.
Practical Use Cases
Thin Client Devices
Proprietary hardware designed and built with remote access in mind. Low power, fanless, usable out of the box as a desktop PC replacement.
Software Thin clients
Any device can act as a thin client and can be controlled through the same management software as a proprietary hardware device.
Repurposed PCs
Convert your ageing estate of PCs to thin clients and sweat your assets. Software licences are portable and can be moved from a device as it reaches the end of its useful life.
USB Endpoints
Solve the problem of remote access by using a bootable USB stick that works on any PC to deliver a rich, no-touch computing experience that’s locked down and secure by design.

Hardware vs Software
Thin clients are so much more than dumb terminals. Whilst it’s important to make the right hardware decisions, it’s the software that’s core to any thin client solution.
By using the right software you have the freedom to pick and choose hardware according to use case while providing a consistent and familiar end user experience.

Use Case Examples

Merton Council
With ageing hardware and disparate departments with unique requirements. Partnered with European Electronique, Tilt Technology delivered several thousand hardware endpoints across multiple sites.

University of Law
By repurposing PCs with thin client software and mixing purpose built hardware according to location and use case, UoL were able to drastically reduce costs whilst improving manageability and security.

Anglia Ruskin University
ARU switched desktop delivery platforms several times over several years and needed to effectively manage the redeployment of endpoints across multiple campuses.

Yusen Logistics
As an enterprise logistics company, Yusen are able to deliver a uniform desktop experience across many sites using Raspberry Pi-based thin clients powered by Stratodesk NoTouch.
Managing A Successful Thin Client Project
Plan your rollout in phases and identify different use cases
Match your solution to hardware according to use case, resource and budget
Stage your rollout
Test software agnostically before looking at hardware
Set appropriate milestones at sensible intervals with periodic reviews
Allocate resources in advance for ongoing development, improvement and support
