Dusun IoT’s thin-client solution, based on the AI-enabled RK3568 SoM, offers robust hardware support for thin client manufacturers with its high performance, low power consumption, and extensive interface options. This article will explore the advantages of this quad-core Linux-OS thin client hardware solution and its use cases.
What are Thin Client Computers and Types of Thin Client Architecture?
In simple terms, a thin client computer is a terminal device that connects to a cloud server via a network, with computing tasks centralized on the cloud. Currently, two mainstream thin client architectures on the market are VDI and IDV.
VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) uses both centralized storage and computing for virtual desktops. IDV (Integrated Digital Communication and Video), also known as intelligent desktop virtualization, uses a centralized storage and distributed computing architecture for desktop virtualization.
Why Use Thin Client Computers? (Benefits of Using Thin Client Computers)
As cloud terminals for virtual desktops, thin client computers offer the following advantages:
- Data Security: Centralized protection against server-side vulnerability and virus, unified file system permission management and disaster recovery backups to ensure enhanced data security.
- Easy Maintenance: Rapid system deployment and fault repair, along with convenient system and software upgrades, to effectively protect software copyrights, preventing system vulnerabilities and legal risks associated with piracy.
- Convenience and Flexibility: Besides using thin client computers, users can also log in via smartphones and tablets, accessing the cloud anytime and anywhere.
- Resource Sharing: Flexible allocation and recycling of hardware resources. This can significantly save on computer resources and reduce the risk of one-time investment in office equipment. It also enables quick replication of client systems.

Use Cases of DSGK-062 Thin Client Computer
DSGK-062 thin client computers can be widely applied across various industries, playing an important role in the following scenarios:
Smart Classrooms
Addressing the challenge of a many-to-many relationship between teaching equipment and students, where different students require different teaching software or course content, DSGK-062 thin client computer enables quick switching of tutorials without the need to repeatedly install and uninstall applications on local PCs. This reduces management and maintenance difficulties and lowers the labor costs for teachers and equipment managers.
Call Centers
In environments like call centers, which are intensive in both manpower and terminal computers, the larger the scale, the greater the equipment management challenges. By integrating multiple call center resources on the server-side, resource centralization can be achieved. Locally, using DSGK-062 thin client computers significantly reduces equipment cost investments.
Healthcare and Medical Diagnosis
Hospitals currently face outdated PC hardware and software architectures, widely distributed equipment, and high maintenance costs. PC failures in hospitals can take hours to resolve, significantly affecting doctors’ efficiency in serving patients. Adopting DSGK-062 thin client computers can help reduce maintenance workloads, increases efficiency, lowers maintenance costs, and improves hardware and software health, reducing repair and wait times. This meets the flexible working needs of doctors and lowers operational costs.
Financial Security
The financial industry’s data is highly sensitive. Bank terminal hardware configurations vary widely, operating system versions differ, user skill levels are uneven, and security awareness is often weak, leading to common issues such as data leaks and virus attacks. Using DSGK-062 thin client computers and cloud servers for unified data and application management offers a robust solution for these challenges.
