  • @n1cholson It isnt a bottleneck over the network because the processor and disks are doing the work in the datacenter and just sending the display data over the network. This is very low traffic btw, maybe a couple KB/s.

    You are downloading the full image to the datacenter and then taking a snapshot of it and sending it to the pc. So no you arent downloading it twice.

  • In PC's, the bus is often the bottleneck in terms of performance. Make the Internet the bus and you now have tightened that bottleneck.

    And let's say you have two USB devices on your zero client: let's say one is a thumb drive and the other is a digital camera. Suppose you want to move pics from the camera to the thumb drive. Do you really want to send those pics over the Internet TWICE in order to copy them from one device to another?

  • My school has recently installed zero clients instead of PCs, they have a data center in school and zero clients all over the classrooms.

    I wonder, is it possible to have such a solution at home? Should there be some sort of data center service provider in your city which you connect the zero client to? are there such service providers available?

    And those cloud providers like Sisco, Amazon, etc. Do they offer availability to replace a PC with a zero client at home?
