Thin Client

A computer that has no hard drive and depends on another machine for operation. A thin storage client in a network application environment. The client downloads the program (Java applets, for example) from the server and performs processing just like a PC, but it does not store applications or data locally. All programs and data are on the server, thus which minimizes management costs on the client side.
