Thin Client technology is inherently Green. This presentation highlights some of the energy savings and waste reduction that can be of immediate benefit to any company by simply switching some of their systems over to Thin Clients.

Notes de l'éditeur
Let’s take a look at a real application where a customer wanted us to put a IT specd PC into an industrial enclosure. When we look at the heat that would be in the enclosure in addition to the Flat Panel Display – we had to provide some additional cooling which costs more energy and ejected heat into the plant that needed to be handled as well ! The cost to run the Fat Client System was $232.48 versus the Thin Client system which was $36.77 – a savings of $195.71 / year Device Comparison Thin Client $7.93 = Fat Client $56.95 System Comparison Thin Client $36.77 to Fat Client $232.48 What was a $49.02 per year Device operational difference is now a $195.71 System difference From our 20 unit example earlier that is a difference Over 10 years of almost $40K versus the 8K we showed.
