cliente pesado
cliente = PC cliente = desktop cliente
Denomina-se cliente pesado ao programa "cliente" de uma arquitectura cliente-servidor quando o maior ónus de cómputo está deslocada para o computador que executa dito programa. Também se conhece como cliente grueso (anteriormente se conocia como cliente rico mas esta acepción já está em desuso).
Um cliente pesado é a antítese de um cliente liviano (também denominado cliente ligeiro
Explicação detalhada
Uma Aplicação informática com arquitectura cliente-servidor consta de dois programas:
O programa cliente, que se executa no computador que interactúa com o utente (habitualmente um computador pessoal).
O programa servidor, que se executa em um computador central (habitualmente em um computador servidor dentro de um CPD).
Ambos programas colaboram entre si graças a uma rede de comunicações.
As funcionalidades da aplicação devem repartir-se entre ambos programas, em princípio, de forma equitativa. No entanto, por razões de viabilidad técnica ou económica pode ser necessário uma partilha desigual de ditas funcionalidades. Isto se denomina "ónus de cómputo

What is Thick Client?
Thick clients, also called heavy clients, are full-featured computers that are connected to a network. Unlike thin clients, which lack hard drives and other features, thick clients are functional whether they are connected to a network or not.
While a thick client is fully functional without a network connection, it is only a "client" when it is connected to a server. The server may provide the thick client with programs and files that are not stored on the local machine's hard drive. It is not uncommon for workplaces to provide thick clients to their employees. This enables them to access files on a local server or use the computers offline. When a thick client is disconnected from the network, it is often referred to as a workstation.
Thin clients function as regular PCs, but lack hard drives and typically do not have extra I/O ports or other unnecessary features. Since they do not have hard drives, thin clients do not have any software installed on them. Instead, they run programs and access data from a server. For this reason, thin clients must have a network connection and are sometimes referred to as "network computers" or "NCs."
Thin clients can be a cost-effective solution for businesses or organizations that need several computers that all do the same thing. For example, students in a classroom could all run the same program from a server, each using his own thin client machine. Because the server provides the software to each computer on the network, it is not necessary for each NC to have a hard drive. Thin clients also make it easier to manage computer networks since software issues need to be managed only on the server instead of on each machine.
