IT departments can manage distributed thin clients much easier and more efficiently by updating applications and data for groups of users at one time and without having to travel to the user work areas.  Support of company-deployed thin clients simplified.  Consider the wasted support of employee-supplied devices (BYOD) that also serve as a shared computer for personal uses, such as homework, games, or media during which the device’s settings may be changed.

Because thin clients only need a limited amount of processing power, thin client computers are generally smaller, lighter, easier-to-deploy, and less expensive than full-size PCs and laptops.

Thin clients are right-sized for the work they perform, so they use less energy than traditional computers, and they create less noise and heat, too.

Using a thin client, users can access their applications and data from any location with an available internet connection back to the host computer.

Thin client architecture is easily scalable.  It is simple for IT to add and remove thin client connections as users and the number of users change.
