Thin Client Return on Investment overview

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Thin clients can be purchased for a substantially lower cost than traditional PC’s and drastically lower deployment costs when compared to a PC environment. They can also last between 7-10 years and require lower ongoing expenditures and administrative costs. On average thin clients can save companies nearly £600 per seat in maintenance costs. Thin clients also use anywhere from 8-10 watts of power, compared to 150 watts for PCs. These green benefits help companies save an upwards of nearly 85% on their power costs.

Between lower capital investments for deployment, reduced maintenance and administrative costs, and lower energy bills, thin clients’ TCO is much lower than traditional PCs

Security

Unlike PCs and traditional laptops, thin clients are locked down and offer greater security against theft, damage, malware, spyware, and viruses because all data is on the network – not the computer

Manageability
All software and hardware upgrades, security policies, application changes, etc. can be made in the data center and immediately take effect on thin clients. IT personnel are not required – as they are with PCs – to fix individual problems.
