Which indicator will help you to recommend the correct choice of thin clients?

Question

Options

• ACPU performance requirements
• BMaturity in the market place
• CConcern about environmental impact
• DNew in the decision process

• B
  4% (1)
• C

• D

Explanation

Concern about environmental impact (C) is the correct indicator because thin clients consume significantly less power than traditional desktop PCs, generate less heat, produce less e-waste, and have a smaller carbon footprint - making them the go-to recommendation when an organization prioritizes sustainability.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (CPU performance requirements): High CPU demands actually argue against thin clients, since they rely on server-side processing and have minimal local compute power. This indicator would steer you toward thick clients or workstations instead.
• B (Maturity in the marketplace): Thin client technology is mature, but market maturity is a general observation, not a criterion that specifically triggers a thin client recommendation over other options.
• D (New in the decision process): Being a newcomer to an IT decision doesn't point to any specific hardware choice - it's noise, not a decision driver.

Memory tip: Think "Thin = Green." Thin clients are physically thin and environmentally lean (low power, low waste). Whenever a question mentions environmental concern or energy efficiency, thin clients are the answer.
