"Thin-nology" can amount to large savings. These THIN
CLIENT terminals typically have fewer components than
their "fat" counterparts the PC, and they also consume
less power. From an environmental point of view, THIN
CLIENT technology offers advantages that normal PC’s
can't match. As well as providing an obvious alternative
to the landfill for older PCs, the savings in
production, operation and eventual disposal of THIN
CLIENT computing devices really add up. Consider also
that THIN CLIENT devices have roughly double the
lifespan of conventional PCs. There is more-they cost
less! From an environmental standpoint THIN CLIENT
computing devices are the technical equivalent of a
fuel-cell vehicle.
Some
estimates put the power consumption of THIN CLIENT computing
devices around one-twentieth that of a regular PC. Less
power also means less heat. Imagine how much a company with
200 PCs could save on air conditioning without all the heat
from those PC’s. “A typical PC uses about 300 watts of
electricity and pumps out 850 BTU of heat—your a/c is
working overtime.
The
ALTERNATIVE,
THIN
CLIENT
uses only 15 watts of power.”
