Thin Clients

Business thin clients for maximum productivity.

The Bechtle online shop is home to a broad range of slim and energy-saving business thin clients. Being server-based, they are the perfect choice for office applications such as e-mail and web browsing and centralised data processing not only keeps energy consumption low, but noise levels, too. Bechtle has a selection of thin clients from well-known manufacturers including Dell, IGEL and HP giving you the tools you need to get started with server-based working.

Low energy consumption and investment costs.

Thin clients are terminals connected to a server, thereby operating within a network. Because they have no hard disks or drives of their own, they rely on central servers for these features. Thin clients—and the even leaner zero clients—are therefore used only to enter data, which is then transmitted to and processed by the server. Thin clients are used to display and interact with applications running and stored on the server. Their lack of hard drive and extremely lean build make thin clients an attractive, low-cost investment plus they don’t emit much noise, creating a quieter office environment, consigning bulky and loud hardware to the history books. With software and the OS running quietly and efficiently, you enjoy maximum comfort with minimum hardware.

Suitable for all popular office applications.

Server-based computing is particularly interesting for companies whose employees all access the same, centrally stored data. Many publishing houses, for example, use thin or zero clients. These terminals support all major Office applications, e-mail programs and web browsers meaning they can meet a whole host of requirements. However, the more thin clients that depend on the server and the more computing power you need, the better equipped your server must be, which means your hardware needs to be up to scratch. Server-based networks are ill-suited for graphics applications and video editing, as the computing power required for processing is too much for thin clients to handle. In this case, workstations are a better alternative. No matter what you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered.

A powerful selection of lean computers in our Bechtle online shop.

Many businesses would, by nature, benefit from a server-based computing environment as they offer a multitude of advantages. Instead of installing programs on every single workstation, you would simply provision them over a server instead of saving them locally on the computers, reducing the demands on the hardware. In addition, thin client performance is continuously improving—and we’ve noticed, which is why we carry a large selection of thin clients by Dell, IGEL and HP to name just a few, giving you the tools you need to centrally provision multiple computers with the systems and features they need without overloading them. These black, flat and stylish devices fit on nearly any desk.
