Company IT is undergoing huge changes at the moment. After the big players, small and medium-sized companies too have realized that it is uneconomical to equip office workstations with fat PCs and maintain them at considerable effort using sneaker administration. The cheapest end device solution in conjunction with virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) is not the fat client but the zero client, a particularly lean version of the thin client.
Zero client minimizes administration costs
The
fact that the company PC era is coming to an end is down to the time-consuming
maintenance of hardware, the operating system and locally installed
applications. The potential risk of data loss, for example as a result of a
hard disk failure, is another argument in favor of the zero client. Instead of
sneaker administration, the zero client can be set up and updated centrally via
the network – even across a number of sites.
Small and medium-sized companies value good service
The
German thin client market leader IGEL Technology offers a zero client concept
that should interest globally active small and medium-sized companies too. With
the IGEL Zero (IZ) range, the zero client and thin client specialist with a
worldwide presence has three cost-effective zero client models that stand out
from the competition. Each IGEL zero client is optimized for one of the three
leading VDI solutions (Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Remote Desktop
Services (RDS) or VMware Horizon View) and offers free
support and updatability. Another unusual feature is the integrated Appliance
Mode which allows zero clients to boot into the relevant VDI session
quickly.
Zero local management, zero touch deployment
A
zero client reduces a company's administrative outlay enormously. The devices
simply need to be set up – the settings stored in a central database are
automatically assigned via a management server when they are first switched on.
As the term "Zero Touch Deployment" suggests, the administrator does
not need to touch the devices again in order to configure them. Once they are
set up, the devices run reliably and require "zero" local management.
Zero client the IGEL way
Nevertheless, the IGEL solution remains flexible. If the zero client should suddenly require settings, the profile-based automatic remote management system which is part of the supplied IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) takes over. IGEL also offers an upgrade path for switching the VDI solution. With this option, the zero client can be turned into a multi-protocol thin client. This ensures the necessary level of future-proofing.
