Thin Clients – An Overview

Thinking about thin client computing as part of your desktop strategy

A Thin Client Device

What Is a "Thin Client"?

IntentIs designed to always be connected to a Server Based Desktop

Wyse, HP, iGel

Examples of Thin Clients

Device Profile

Has a low profile and footprint:Smaller CPU, RAM than a typical PCVery little (if any) local storage for data & applicationsUses less energy than a PC

Operating System

Typically runs a light-weight embedded operating system such as Windows® Embedded Standard

Page 5: WCL212. A Thin Client Device Intent Is designed to always be connected to a Server Based Desktop Wyse, HP, iGel Examples of Thin Clients Device Profile.

When Is Thin Client an Option?

VDI / Sessions

If You Have Server-Based Desktops (SBD)

OR

Thin Client Windows PC

Pure SBD ScenariosNo local desktop functionality requiredNo local applications or data

Scenario Recommended Access Device

Windows PC

Hybrid SBD ScenariosLocal desktop + hosted desktopLocal desktop + hosted applications

Unmanaged Device as Thin Client

Unmanaged DevicesTablets, iPads, smartphones, employee owned PCsDevice choice precedes SBD choice

Pure Server Based Desktops: Thin Client or PC?

Business priorities will dictate device form factor

The Need for Windows Thin PC

Customers require a cost effective way to repurpose existing PCs as thin clients.

What are my options for thin client computing?

OR

!I can get the best of both worlds!

Server Based Desktops (VDI / Sessions)

?

Repurpose existing PCsNo additional licensing costs, AND…Reduced management at endpoint

Use an existing PCNo additional licensing costs, BUT…2 client images to manage

Buy a Thin ClientReduced management and power savings at end point, BUT…New devices required + VDA licensing

Windows Thin PC (WinTPC) helps customers repurpose PCs as Thin Clients

“Thin” PCs

Page 10: WCL212. A Thin Client Device Intent Is designed to always be connected to a Server Based Desktop Wyse, HP, iGel Examples of Thin Clients Device Profile.

WinTPC Value Proposition

Excellent Thin Client Experience

Windows Thin PC provides organizations with a flexible,

rich remote desktop experience on locked down

devices.

Reduce VDI costs

Windows Thin PC reduces upfront VDI costs by leveraging existing

investments in hardware resources and licenses.

Enterprise Ready Platform

Windows Thin PC provides organizations with an

Enterprise grade platform that’s highly secure and easily

manageable.

Windows Thin PC (WinTPC) helps lower the cost of VDI, by providing customers with an enterprise ready platform to repurpose existing PCs as thin clients.

Hardware Efficiency WES7 thin clients have lower energy costsDevices are smaller and more efficient

PC hardware not as energy efficient as thin clientsPC hardware is bulkier

Cost Price varies by OEM and device No cost for SA customers, non-SA customers have to buy SA

WinTPC and WES ComparisonWinTPC is based on the WES 7 platform, which in turn is built using the proven Windows 7 platform.

WinTPC Compared to Other Thin Client Form Factors

Benefits

Considerations

Definition

Licensing

Traditional Thin Client

A device with a reduced hardware and software footprint, intended to connect

to a remote desktop

Smaller attack surface than PC

Fewer breakable parts than PC

Lower energy costs than PC

Excellent choice for pure server based desktop scenarios

Thin Clients need security and management updates

Needs to be always connected to network

Requires VDA License, which includes SA benefits

Thin Client Form Factors

Windows Thin PC (WinTPC)

A repurposed PC running a smaller footprint locked down version of Windows 7, making it

behave like a Thin Client

No upfront hardware and licensing costs

All the advantages of traditional thin clients

Enterprise-grade manageability and security

Large PC inventory capable of running Windows 7

Reduced CapEx budgets for device purchases

Strategy is not locked to Thin Client – flexibility to revert back to PCs

WinTPC is a benefit of SA / VDA

Zero Client

A terminal with no local storage, operating system or processing

Extremely low device TCO

No OS to manage on device

Highest reliability – no moving parts

Has all the benefits of traditional thin clients

Requires additional processing on server to translate I/O calls

Cannot run browser based applications or be upgraded

Requires VDA License, which includes SA benefits

Page 26: WCL212. A Thin Client Device Intent Is designed to always be connected to a Server Based Desktop Wyse, HP, iGel Examples of Thin Clients Device Profile.

Adopting Thin Clients: Microsoft’s Recommendation

Move to Windows Embedded devices when WinTPC hardware is

decommissioned

Try before you buy with WinTPC

Experience thin clients without buying new hardware or additional VDA licensing

Keep the option to revert back to PCs

For pure Server Based Desktop scenarios, choose the right thin client computing model for your organization
