- Operating Systems
Also known as an “OS,” this is the software that communicates with computer hardware on the most basic level. Without an operating system, no software programs can run. The OS is what allocates memory, processes tasks, accesses disks and peripherials, and serves as the user interface.
- Thin Clients
Method of server-based computing where the end user is accessing his/her session on a terminal server from a terminal as opposed to a PC. The thin-client device, or terminal, typically costs less than and requires less maintenance than a PC. The life-cycle of a terminal is typically three to four times that of a PC since processing and memory requirements are met by the hardware on the terminal server.
