Book Description
A thin client is a Network Computer that runs Windows programs, providing the infrastructure that enables an Intranet to reach its full potential. The benefits of thin client computers are the comparatively low cost and the ability to manage these machines centrally, providing convenience and efficiency. Employees who need computers but don't use them intensively can use thin clients to access corporate databases and corporate publishing through a Web browser, for email, for word processing, and even for GroupWare. This is a straightforward book that will be useful to officers, executives, supervisors, and many others who wish to implement and use thin clients on an Intranet.
* Informs network administrators how to deploy, use, maintain, and upgrade thin clients on their networks
* Emphasizes WinFrame (thin clients) using Windows software, along with coverage of how dual clients can use Java
* Features both Windows terminals and network computing devices
* Explains why thin clients are more a
software system than a hardware system

Reader Reviews
This book is pretty new in thin-client field. I got the general(not too technical) concept and information from this book. If you are a freshman in thin client field, this book is a good start. After this book, you may try the "Windows NT Thin Client Solutions" from Todd W. Mathers & Shawn P. Genoway or "Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame" from Ted Harwood. From the two books, you can get more detials about thin client computing.
