+aka 0-Clients: network hosted OS is what each client would use.
+
+In some cases that network is a pool of servers which are tapped into.
+Clients can vary in specs like explained below(context: university):
+
+> Pool for a Library
+
+Clients retain low hardware specs since most are just using office applications and not much else.
+
+> Pool for an Engineering department
+
+Clients connect to another pool where both clients and pool have better hardware specs/resources.
+
+The downside is that there is _1 point of failure_.
+The pool goes down and so does everyone else, meaning downtime is going to cost way more than a single machine going down.
