Tim Riedel, Key Account Government | Page 4 IGEL Technology | Thin Clients vs. Zero Clients 05/12 What is a Zero Client? The is no fixed definiton! Many different definitions ofZero Clients –Hardware only –Hardware optimized software –Software only The concept is to offer a dedicated functionality for a defined solution –VMware View or Citrix XenDesktop Zero Clients do have CPU, RAM, Flash and an OS

ZERO CLIENT TYPES
