UPS and Thin Clients?

by analyticus . Updated 14 years ago

OK, simple question here… if I run a thin client, or zero client, on my business network connecting to a Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server, is it necessary to have a battery backup (UPS) for the thin or zero client? After all, a workstation runs the software locally and power outages would cause problems if it doesn’t have a battery backup. A think client, however, is doing emulation or virtualization from the server – so if it loses power, the server is still running the software, is it not?
