There are many reasons to virtualise your desktop, here are just some of them:

• Lower administration costs. Thin clients are managed at the server meaning that the hardware has fewer points of failure and the local environment is more secure.

• Lower hardware costs because it does not contain a disk drive, application  memory, or a powerful processor. 

• Better for the environment. Thin client hardware has much lower energy consumption than ordinary PCs. Less heat is generated, which means lower air conditioning costs and a lower carbon footprint.

• Less wasted hardware. Redundant computer hardware is difficult to dispose of effectively. Thin clients can have a lifecycle of 10 years+.

• Reliability. Thin client technology is solid-state and therefore has no moving parts, also reducing resource needed to manage the desktop environment.

• Increased security. Security can be centralised, so that no application data is stored on the client.

• Improved hardware failure management, a replacement can be simply implemented while the client is repaired.  However, meantime between failure is typically 22 years.

• Reduced bandwidth requirements, as the data remains on the server rather than being transferred across, therefore valuable bandwidth is preserved. 

• Scalability. As installation is simple, a system is easily and quickly scalable and does require intensive IT resource.

• Quieter working environment. As a thin client produces less heat, internal cooling fans are not required, which means less noise is generated. 

• Hotdesking, flexible & remote working are made easy. Helping you rationalise office space, reduce travelling expenses and shrink your carbon footprint.

Civica Connect is able to provide ultra thin client terminals and thin client laptops to create a virtual environment suitable to your needs.
