Overview and Background
In 2011, we began to use the
NetTop as a "fatter" thin client. This was primarily driven by the desire to speed up browser usage which, on
ThinClients was quite slow because they all ran on the remote server. With a
NetTop, the browser (and other software) run locally on the machine, reducing the memory and processor load on the remote server.
NetTop setup and configuration
Much of the documentation for our configuration of the
NetTop can be found here:
