Explanation:

Standalone Computers

Free-standing computers are the familiar variety sold in most stores and used in most homes and small offices. They're complete systems in their own right, containing hard drives and optical drives for storage, as well as their own processors, video cards, RAM and operating systems. These machines can be purchased in laptop, desktop or tower formats, as the company's needs dictate. Each can be loaded with programs on an individual basis, or in a standard configuration determined by the company. They can be part of the company network, but don't require the network to operate.

Thin Clients

Thin clients look and act just the same as a conventional standalone computer, from the end user's viewpoint. They still have a mouse, a screen and a keyboard, and the user works with the computer in exactly the same way. However, thin clients are bare-bones computers with minimal internal hardware. They're connected to the company's network, where heavy-duty servers store the programs and data and provide the processing power. For companies with a large number of work stations, the cost of purchasing and upgrading thin clients represents a significant saving over full-blown standalone computers.

Servers

Servers are the heavyweights of the business computing world. They're machines optimized to use powerful, efficient microprocessors and high-speed connectivity. They're designed to be used together in groups, or clusters, so companies can simply add servers as they grow. Servers use powerful multi-user operating systems. Some are based on Microsoft Windows, while others use Unix, Linux or older proprietary operating systems. Server clusters are used in the same ways as old-school mainframe and mini-computers, to provide heavy-duty computing power for a company's networks and Web page.
