White Paper: A Scalable Approach To Thin Client Solutions

Tight margins and heightened competition continue to present challenges to SMB retailers of all types. Whether for the point of sale (POS), in the back room or at headquarters, merchants are seeking solutions that afford flexibility while simultaneously reducing operating expenditures, simplifying processes and maintaining market share.

For many forward- thinking retailers, the adoption of a server-based model built on standardized, efficient thin clients is the answer. In this lean model, all essential core applications and data backups run centrally on web servers. Such a lean infrastructure enables the same desktop to be accessed from stores, headquarters or even home office, cutting costs in many areas and bolstering application availability to a degree that sharpens the competitive edge.
