An is a purpose-built endpoint device designed to connect exclusively to a remote desktop environment using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Unlike thin clients (which run a lightweight OS) or thick clients (full PCs), a "zero client" has no local operating system, storage, or moving parts. It functions purely as a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) extender over an IP network, decoding an RDP stream from a central server (e.g., Windows Server with RDS, Azure Virtual Desktop, or a local Hyper-V host).
An is a highly specialized, ultra-lightweight endpoint device that relies entirely on a centralized server to host operating systems and applications, utilizing Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to transmit user inputs and display back encrypted pixel data.
