Thin Clients? Why Use Them? IT Simplicity with CLI Thin-Client Solutions Economical, Flexible, Client Driven Challenges with distributed desktops Efficiency Low resource utilization & high power consumption Data Management:
Efficiency
- Low resource utilization & high power
consumption
- Data Management: Backup and recovery
- Device Provisioning/De-provisioning
- Device Management: Patch & Virus
Protection
- OS and application deployment
Complex Desktop Management
- Remote locations /Distributed workforce
- Hardware management / multiple images
- Cost of PC Management
Lack of Security
- Security of sensitive data
- Stolen or lost mobile device
- Compliance with regulations (SOX, HIPPA)
Challenges with distributed desktops
