SBC (Server-Based Computing)
In SBC environments, multiple thin clients are connected to a
central server via the network. In big installations there may be
more than one server - it may be a cluster of terminal servers
with failover. This IT solution enhances efficiency of installation,
maintenance, security, and virus protection compared to the
conventional computing environment that consists of multiple PCs.
Thin Client
Each thin client provides basic computing functions: connecting
to a server via the network, transmitting input signals to the
server, and showing output of performance.
