Netvoyager thin clients are desktop computers that are an alternative to PCs [aka "fat client"].
Traditional PCs have large operating systems and applications installed locally which require significant maintenance and support, which is where the significant cost of any IT operation is centralised.
Netvoyager thin clients are desktop computers with an optimised operating system and graphical user interface with no applications installed locally. Thin clients desktops are terminals that connect to servers (whether local or remote) which run and deliver screen information of the applications seamlessly and on demand to the thin clients.
Server Computing Explained
Server based Computing [SBC] model is where applications are deployed, managed, supported and executed from central server farms. Screen, keyboard and mouse information is exchanged between the thin client and the server farms. No applications actually reside and execute on the thin client desktop. SBC delivers instant access to business-critical applications and data from this central point to any thin client desktop device anywhere, securely.
SBC is similar in operation to legacy systems such mainframe and mini-computer systems (e.g. VAX, AS400) where dumb terminals connected to these central systems and accessed applications that ran on these systems with screen and keyboard information being exchanged between these central computer systems and dumb terminals.
