Some organisations use a '''hybrid client''' model partway between centralized computing and conventional desktop computing, in which some applications (such as [[web browser]]s) are run locally, while other applications (such as critical business systems) are run on the [[terminal server]]. One way to implement this is simply by running [[remote desktop software]] on a standard [[desktop computer]].
 
== Hosted computing model ==
 
A relatively new method of centralized computing, '''hosted computing''', solves many of the problems associated with traditional distributed computing systems. By centralizing processing and storage on powerful server hardware located in a data center, rather that in a local office, it relieves organisations of the many responsibilities in owning and maintaining an information technology system. These services are typically delivered on a subscription basis by an [[application service provider]] (ASPs).
