Blade PC
open-in-new
<p>A blade PC is a form of <a href="/facts/Client_(computing)/u0wlVsWI">client</a> or <a href="/facts/Personal_computer/koaYfNce">personal computer</a> (PC). In conjunction with a client access device (usually a <a href="/facts/Thin_client/GtBdBho5">thin client</a>) on a user's desk, the supporting blade PC is typically housed in a rack enclosure, usually in a <a href="/facts/Data_center/DS5wJY41">datacenter</a> or specialised environment. Together, they accomplish many of the same functions of a traditional PC, but they also take advantage of many of the architectural achievements pioneered by <a href="/facts/Blade_server/Eo9gKdnU">blade servers</a>. </p>
