Inhaltsangabe

Thin clients are network computers, NetPC's, or Windows-based terminals that rely on servers for application and processing power. Simplified administration, ease of software maintenance, and substantial monetary savings are just a few of the benefits that thin clients provide at little to no significant performance loss when compared to the desktop. With the enormous expense that providing desktops to individual employees represents, companies are increasingly looking to thin clients to provide relief from administrative and financial headaches. Thin clients have become a permanent fixture on the network landscape, and are poised for even greater growth as companies such as Microsoft jump on the thin client bandwagon by introducing Windows NT Terminal Server and building thin client operating software into Windows 2000. This is a comprehensive guide to thin client technology: how to deploy, use, maintain, and upgrade thin clients on networks. In a straightforward, jargon-free style, the expert authors teach you how to use thin clients to reduce software maintenance, minimize network administration, and save money. * Unbiased coverage of software options * Extensive discussion of Citrix software, which enables the use of Windows programs via intranets and the Intranet * Thorough coverage of Java programming, such as the hugely successful Applix Anyware office software * Not limited in focus to large businesses * Ideal for anyone interested in implementing and using thin clients
