By illustrating the differences between Thin Clients and Zero Clients I hope to better define them as well.  Both are small form factor, solid state computing devices, specifically designed for a server based typology, currently generally associated with Desktop Virtualization (VDI) and Host Desktop Environments (DaaS), but they have many different characteristics that are important to distinguish. Below we will discuss the key differences between Thin Clients and Zero Clients.

When the PC was first introduced in the late 70s, it took the business world several years to acknowledge it as a real business tool. In fact, it was called a home computer for the first few years, relegated to a simple toy. Likewise, it has taken business several years to see the smartphone and other mobile devices for what they are. However, these devices now provide the momentum for what...

Back in the day, long before the internet became a household word and even before "personal computers" even existed, if you used a computer, the odds are you actually were using a terminal connected to a server somewhere. While the concept of "client/server" computing may seem like a new concept, it has actually been around for decades. That's because each terminal connected to a server is, in concept, a client.

The ever growing debate over which flavour of Thin Client is the right choice in relation to cost, performance, user experience, peripheral support, management, etc, etc, continues to fill blogs and review sites. Recent news from Microsoft on changes to Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licensing to Windows Embedded throws a really interesting perspective on using a Windows Embedded based Thin Client for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
