More than ever, business leaders are focused on growing revenues, containing costs and providing a higher level of customer support, whilst reducing the cost of business support activities, such as IT costs. One method of achieving these apparently contradictory goals is through the use of thin client computing (Citrix, Terminal Server, etc.).  

The fundamental approach behind thin client computing is simple. Instead of running all applications locally on PCs, with all of the associated challenges and costs, applications run centrally and simply deliver screen updates and inputs to clients. All the benefits of centralized servers and support staff are realized as are most of the benefits of powerful PCs on desks, including access to popular Windows applications or the ability to access Unix applications. 

The financial case is clear: thin client computing can save 30%-70% of your IT costs. Centralizing servers and server support leads directly to higher utilization levels.  Simplified software deployment radically reduces acquisition and rollout costs. Longer lifetimes of Windows-basedterminals reduces capital expenditure. Reduced power consumption directly lowersenergy costs, and indirectly lowers cooling requirements.
