The end user’s OS is hosted on a centralized server, along with applications, yet the user experience is still nearly exactly the same with the exception of a few minor steps (usually) when logging in. An on-board processor is designed to handle solely one specific protocol like VMware PCoIP or Blast Extreme, Teradici PCoIP, Citrix HDX, Microsoft RDP, Parallels RAS, etc.Īs mentioned, a Zero Client is a relatively small piece of hardware – lightweight, quiet, and efficient – which does not take up that much space. With Zero Clients, all desktop applications are provisioned and centrally managed from a remote server. It is even different from a Thin Client device, which has some degree of an internal operating system and some local storage for customization of end-user applications.
This is much different from a traditional computing desktop environment, where for example, PCs have everything directly on the individual local desktop. In its purest definition, a Zero Client has no operating system (OS) and no local storage as an endpoint device.
(sample pictured below) A Zero Client has super-fast boot-up time, requires very little IT maintenance, and is a nearly completely OS-free (or, “Zero” OS) VDI experience. What is a Zero Client? What a strange name – “Zero Client.” A Zero Client endpoint device is a small, powerful, piece of hardware that helps to cut down spending, power consumption, space, noise, lack of security, along with more benefits… when used within a VDI environment. In a world full of endpoint device selection for VDI ( virtual desktop infrastructure), Zero Clients are certainly not taking a back seat to laptops, tablets, mobile phones, or even Thin Clients, for that matter.
