ABSTRACT: Virtualisation technology, higher bandwidth availability and cheaper high performance processors, manybelieve that Thin Clients have come of age. But despite a growing body of literature documenting successful Thin Client deployments there remains an undercurrent of concern regarding user acceptance of this technology and a belief that greater efforts are required to understand how to integrate Thin Clients into existing, predominantly PC-based, deployments. It would be more accurate to state that the challenge facing the acceptance of Thin Clients is a combination of architectural design and integration strategy rather than a purely technical issue. Careful selection of services to be offered over Thin Clients is essential to their acceptance. Through an evolution of three case studies the user acceptance issues were reviewed and resolved resulting in a 92% acceptance rate of the final Thin Client deployment. No significant bias was evident in our comparison of user attitudes towards desktop services delivered over PCs and Thin Clients.
INTRODUCTION: It is generally accepted that in 1993 Tim Negris coined the phrase “Thin Client” in response to Larry Ellison’s request to differentiate the server centric model of Oracle from the desktop centric model prevalent at the time. Since then the technology has evolved from a concept to a reality with the introduction of a variety of hardware devices, network protocols and server centric virtualised environments. The Thin Client model offers users the ability to access centralised resources using full raphical desktops from remotely located, low cost, stateless devices.
