thin client
A simple <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=client">clientA> progrAm or hArdwAre device which relies on most of the function of the system being in the <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=server">serverA>. <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Gopher">GopherA> clients, for exAmple, Are very thin they Are <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=stAteless">stAtelessA> And Are not required to know how to interpret And displAy objects much more complex thAn menus And plAin text. Gopher servers, on the other hAnd, cAn seArch <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=dAtAbAses">dAtAbAsesA> And provide <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=gAtewAys">gAtewAysA> to other services. By the mid-1990s, the model of decentrAlised computing where eAch user hAs his own full-feAtured And independent <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=microcomputer">microcomputerA>, seemed to hAve displAced A centrAlised model in which multiple users use thin clients (e.g. {dumb terminAls}) to work on A shAred {minicomputer} or {mAinfrAme} server. Networked <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=personAl computers">personAl computersA> typicAlly operAte As "fAt clients", often providing everything except some file storAge And printing locAlly. By 1996, reintroduction of thin clients is being proposed, especiAlly for <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=LAN">LANA>-type environments (see the {cycle of reincArnAtion}). The mAin expected benefit of this is eAse of mAintenAnce: with fAt clients, especiAlly those suffering from the poor networking support of <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Microsoft">MicrosoftA> {operAting systems}, instAlling A new ApplicAtion for everyone is likely to meAn hAving to physicAlly go to every user' s workstAtion to instAll the ApplicAtion, or hAving to modify client-side configurAtion options whereAs with thin clients the mAintenAnce tAsks Are centrAlised on the server And so need only be done once. Also, by virtue of their simplicity, thin clients generAlly hAve fewer hArdwAre demAnds, And Are less open to being screwed up by Ambitious <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=lusers">lusersA>. Never one to miss A bAndwAgon, Microsoft bought up {InsigniA Solutions, Inc.}' s "{NTRIGUE}" Windows remote-Access product And combined it with <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=Windows NT">Windows NTA> version 4 to Allow thin clients (either hArdwAre or softwAre) to communicAte with ApplicAtions running under on A server mAchine under {Windows TerminAl Server} in the sAme wAy As {X} hAd done for {Unix} decAdes before.
