Abstract
This IDC study provides an overview of the worldwide market for enterprise thin
clients, which are network-based computing devices without local storage that
are used in business environments. This document discusses the market size for
thin clients as well as major trends that are affecting the market.
"The fundamental drivers that have led the thin-client market to its current
state - improvements in security, manageability, and reliability - continue to
push the market forward, but their benefits are resonating with a larger
audience. However, many of the same factors that have limited the market size -
necessary infrastructure changes, rearchitecting datacenters (and the people
who run them), and system complexity - continue to act as deterrents to
wider-scale deployments." - Bob O' Donnell, vice president, Clients and Displays
