IGEL Technology America is one of the worlds leading Thin Client vendors, one of Americas fastest growing thin client brand and Europe’s No. 1 in linux based thin clients (data according to IDC Thin Client Tracker 2011). What are thin clients?Thin clients are a cost efficient and energy saving alternative to PCs. Today thin clients are used to access all kinds of office applications, CRM tools, as well as demanding videos and multimedia presentations or digital dictation solutions and more. They increase data security and compliance with laws and regulations like HIPPA as sensitive data is not stored locally and the use of USB-ports can be managed remotely by the administrator. Thin clients come without fans or rotating hard drives therefore they are much more reliable than PCs and increase the overall availability of IT. Downtimes and licence costs are reduced. The low energy consumption reduces costs and CO2 emissions compared to PCs. Together with an efficient remote management of all local thin client settings they offer a fast return on investment. The introduction and roll out of Cloud Computing or virtual desktops or classis server-based computing becomes economically favourable when cost efficient thin clients replace PCs. The Total Cost of Ownership / TCO of the IT infrastructure is decreased sustainably. NEW: Solution Area Zero Clients »
