Thin Clients and their Role in End User Computing (EUC)

A thin client is a simplified device that relies on a separate server (usually located remotely or in the cloud) to run programs and complete user tasks.

Because most of the computation occurs and data is stored on the server, thin clients are regarded as a secure efficient option.
