As the cloud-based computing architecture has advanced, Thin
Clients have played an increasing role in business tech. Carving a niche in high-performance
sectors, such as financial services, oil/gas, digital media, and engineering,
the Thin Client provides easy access and secure computing power through virtual
desktop provision. While the benefits of this set up are patently clear –
reduced costs, enhanced security, simple manageability, and optimal scalability
– Thin Clients do have their drawbacks; image quality often suffers; add-ons
and extra features are habitually required to maximise performance; they can be
complicated to upgrade; and the pre-loaded software is frequently sub-par. The
new HP t730 sets out to redress the balance.
