New Trends in IT (Hardware / Software)

Actual Computer network

Personal Computers & Users Personal Computers & Users are main source of security breaches IT managers to the

Source of Troubles (Threats) - Misuse - Virus - Data losses - Data leakage

Capabilities (More than needed) Maintenance (personnel) Cost (TCO) Peripherals (USB, DVD, ) Local Storage

Server-Based Computing Model

Applications run on a central back-end server and are displayed on desktop devices ingle server can support dozens of devices

Thin ( Slim ) Client

Simple computers designed to run applications from a central server lower memory requirements than PCs lower microprocessor requirements providing an identical end-user experience Smaller, some the size of a CD case, and most lack removable drives (or any drives), making it impossible for those using them to steal electronic data on floppy disk or introduce viruses to the network designed to cost less than PCs to run and maintain (reduces TCO)

Thin Client Family

Zero Client ( Ultra - Thin Client ) ( PC - Share )

Thin Client

What is a zero client?

It is the new ERA for the thin client Diskless No Fan No Mechanical Parts Less Power consumption Less memory requirements Less Processor requirements Lower total cost of ownership Slim Size No UI rendering No upgrade required Embedded OS

No Local Processing No Locally Installed Software Quick, efficient and safe to run application when it is coupled with virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). More compact While thin client operates on Windows CE or Embedded XP platforms and have comparatively bigger size of RAM that ranges from 16 to 256 MB, its competitor works on completely embedded platforms and have a much smaller size of RAM that is between 4 and 32 MB. Much more stable and safe from virus

Advantages of Zero Client Over Thin Client

Advantages of Zero Client Over Thin Client

If you take into contemplation the power usage, you'd see that on one hand where thin client system uses somewhere between 15-40W of power because of the fans attached to it, zero client systems use maximum power of 5W because of no moving part included with it It is tougher in its usage, more reliable and most importantly costs much lower.
