How to beat the cost of computing, increasing the security & enhance performance
1

Needs of an Organisation ?

A Company / Corporate wants: Competitive advantage Increased productivity Lower costs Return on investment IT Managers / System Implementers want: Flexibility Easy administration and management Less failures Bulletproof security Compatibility with future environments Scalability

Users want: Simplicity and ease of use Access to data and applications High performance

Conventional PC model Disadvantages

Higher Price Costly Administration Difficult to manage Hard to deploy applications Lower reliability & life Planned obsolescence High power Consumption Inherently insecure Viruses Data / application theft, tampering Grow more complex over time

What is a ThinClient?

A server-based computing solution. Does not run applications locally. No Hard Disk required on each node. Run latest software with blazing speed. High Data Security over the network.

What is Server-based Computing?

Application Server
Only keystrokes, mouse clicks, and GUI info travel across the network (or the Internet)

User Desktop

All data is stored on the server All applications are deployed, supported, and executed at the server, not the desktop

All applications running from server are displayed at the desktop

Advantages of ThinClient
the best of everything

Low Total Cost of Ownership Easy Administration Applications and data are centrally managed Nodes are centrally managed Easy to deploy applications Easy to troubleshoot problems High reliability / long life

Low power consumption High security and control over users. Access to Windows / Linux applications Thousands of off-theshelf applications Ability to run multiple sessions VERY FLEXIBLE

Business Benefits of ThinClient

Requires LESS IT staff/time Remote Setup & Administration Backup at the server Data Uniformity/Security Application deployment overnight & centralized Uses a fraction of the electricity of a PC

What is TCO?
Ownership)

(Total Cost of

TCO is a concept used to better understand the cost elements of deployment of a particular IT model Elements of TCO include (but not limited to): Hardware and software acquisition (capital) costs Support costs Both IT tech support and informal enduser support

What is TCO?

Contd

Hardware and software upgrade and maintenance costs Hardware and software deployment costs Network administration and management costs Training costs Downtime (lost revenue) costs Power consumption costs
