Historically, thin clients have not been joined to the domain to enhance security by minimising access to the corporate network while sacrificing the ability to maintain central control using known technologies, in reality, the security threat is increased due to lack of Windows updates and ongoing security refinements. This is no longer the case as A4S Cloud Solutions have provided the client with the required thin client solution that can access either Microsoft Terminal Server, VMware Horizon View or Citrix client as required at that point in time, reconfiguration can be delivered using group policy changes.
Another major issue for clients has been the ongoing security updates required to keep the base Operating Systems secure and compliant, this can now also be handled centrally using Windows Update Server, so you never need to worry about patch Tuesday again!
Realtime configuration and tweaking has often been an issue with Thin Clients, this is no longer the case, on-going refinement, switching to a Disaster Recovery configuration and tweaking the entire Thin Client estate with a single click is now a reality, all within the tool sets already known to the clients internal IT departments.
