据IDC最近的一项研究报告称,1999年上半年,瘦客户机厂商共交付了超过30.5万台的瘦客户机,这一数量比去年上半年增长了83％。尽管瘦客户机的单价在下降,但销含有收入仍然同比增长了24％,从1998年上半年的1.552亿美元增至1999年上半年的1.923亿美元。预计到2002年,全球瘦客户机商业市场将达到680万台,金额为16亿美元。与此同时,Sun、HP、IBM、Compaq 等公司也纷纷推出瘦客户机产品。此外,1999年年底 Wndows200发布时,其对Wndows终端(瘦客户机的一种)的全面支持,也会强烈刺激瘦客户机市场的发展。正所谓—— According to a recent IDC study, thin client vendors delivered more than 305,000 thin clients in the first half of 1999, an 83% increase from the first half of last year. Despite the decline in unit price of thin clients, pin-based revenue still grew 24% YoY from 152.5 million U.S. dollars in the first half of 1998 to 192.3 million U.S. dollars in the first half of 1999. It is estimated that by 2002, the world’s thin client commercial market will reach 6.8 million units, amounting to 1.6 billion U.S. dollars. At the same time, Sun, HP, IBM, Compaq and other companies have also launched thin client products. In addition, when Wndows200 was released in late 1999, its full support for Wndows terminals (a type of thin client) would also strongly stimulate the development of the thin client market.
