Devon IT Solutions India has announced its new line of thin client solutions, orderable with IBM part numbers. Devon has worked directly with IBM to launch this complete line of thin client solutions that complements IBM’s Virtual Client Solutions (VCS) infrastructure.
Joe Makoid, president, Devon IT, said, “When a market and technology leader like IBM is progressing thin client/ hosted client architecture and collaborating with leaders such as Citrix and VMware, it is obvious that the current approach to desktop computing is shifting. We have always been proponents of server-centric computing and centralised management as a way for IT managers to reduce costs dramatically. Devon Thin Clients provide IBM customers a cost-effective way to order complete hosted desktop solutions from one source.”
“The economic realities of India’s technology scenario require new ideas to solve current problems. The benefits of server-based and virtual desktops are compelling and will address problems like security and operating costs,” said Sunil Bangalore, programme director, India Software Labs, IBM India. “This cost-effective alternative to the traditional desktop PC provides increased security, centralised management, and adds operational flexibility to desktop computing. The variety of virtual client solutions, coupled with Devon IT’s thin client, is a combination that makes it easy for IT managers to evaluate, assess, and ultimately implement their own virtualised desktop environments.”
Devon’s Line of Thin Clients with IBM part numbers provide a complete set of desktop, mobile and specialised thin client solutions that will meet any end user requirement.
TC2
The ultra-small and inexpensive TC2 is an ideal desktop replacement for businesses looking to downsize their infrastructure and reduce management and power costs. The small form factor unit consumes only 8 watts and is completely silent. Despite its size, it is fully-functioned and allows users to connect to a variety of servers and virtual desktops. The TC2 is exclusively a Devon IT product and is orderable through IBM using an IBM part number.
TC5
The TC5 is a next-generation thin client from Devon IT for users, who need high performance from a small footprint client. The TC5 gives users the capability to use multiple displays with one stateless unit. This ultra-advanced desktop appliance supports dual DVI video, internal wireless (optional) and comes with either the DeTOS Operating System or Windows XP Embedded.
TC10
The TC10 is a high performance desktop access device that gives the end user a PC experience with instant screen updates, full multimedia support, and full USB compatibility. It connects to IBM’s HC10 Workstation Blade using PC-over-IP, a technology that changes the desktop computing model by enabling desktop consolidation benefits to be realised across the enterprise. Unlike a traditional RDP thin client, the TC10 is for demanding users that require real time PC-like capability such as financial traders and power users such as CAD engineers. The TC10 is equivalent to the IBM CP20.
SafeBook LVO
The SafeBook LVO is the next-generation mobile thin client notebook. Built on the Lenovo ThinkPad platform the SafeBook LVO is available with Windows XP embedded software and is compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad docking stations and accessories. The SafeBook LVO is a mobile thin client laptop with no hard drive, so all sensitive data is protected against loss or theft. With its low purchase price, low operating and maintenance costs, and reinforced security functions, the SafeBook LVO offers thin client technology in a lightweight, mobile notebook.
