Detailed explanation-1: -A thick client (sometimes called a fat client) is a form of client-server architecture. Specifically, it is a networked computer system with most resources installed locally, rather than distributed over a network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thick clients are often used in a business environment where servers provide some data and application support, however, the thick client computer is mostly independent. Thick clients are equipped with an operating system and software applications and are capable of being utilised offline.
Detailed explanation-3: -A thick client has its own operating system, software, processing capabilities, and local storage-all of which lets it continue working without any issues while offline. Essentially, any device that can function completely independently of a remote server is a thick client.
