What are the implications of thin and fat clients for a server?

"Fat" clients already have their software (OS, apps, etc.) usually available to them. A "thin" client does not, and therefore has to download the software from a server. The net effect would cause the server to be busier (depending on the number of thin clients making requests). It may also take several attempts to successfully download the software depending on network quality.

What type of a computer would you recommend for broad deployment in the university's computer labs - a standard computer desktop personal computer or a thin client and why?

I would lean more towards a thin client as it would save a lot of money in the long run. The bulk of the funds would go towards a powerful server that could virtualize the operating system for the thin clients. The thin clients would just be a gateway to the server to load the OS. As I understand it, the major flaw would be if the server goes down, so will everyone else without exception. Although, I believe that is the case in any scenario.

Money Saving with Thin Clients?

Thin clients are an efficient money saving system to use for a business that requires the usage of numerous computers. A thin client runs a local operating system and uses flash memory instead of a hard disk. Applications the user runs are all contained on a server, but it still delivers the same experience as a PC. Due to the lack of hardware within a thin client, the cost of purchase for each unit can be hundreds of dollars less than a regular PC, and allow for easier deployment and repair.
