ThinKiosk’s Versatility: Secret Ingredient to Solving Endpoint Issues
A thin client is a lightweight endpoint designed to facilitate connection to a server-based environment, where most of the typical computing is done by the server. Thin clients are a great way to simplify your IT architecture and improve security. However, the hardware itself does have its limitations in terms of versatility. A thin client device really cannot perform any other function outside of making that connection to a remote environment. In reality, the requirements of end-users and administrators can extend well beyond this, needing a more flexible endpoint solution.
Secure Remote Worker: Secure workspaces for personal Windows devices
Secure Remote Worker is ThinScale’s unique software-only solution for personally-owned devices, allowing them to be used as both a secure corporate thin client and a personal device.
