The target of any enterprise is to adapt to the needs of End-Users and satisfy them. For that they need to maintain a high-quality, secure, low-cost, low-maintenance solution to manage information for end users
Converting to a Virtual Desktop Environment can address these needs, and increase productivity for nearly any organization.
Virtual Desktop => appropriate Hardware => Many Hardware options
Environment Client(device) 1.larger thick clients
(to display the desktop ) 2.thin clients
stored in data-center 3.Zero clients
ZERO- CLIENT is preferable............
- an LCD display with minimal hardware and physical space requirements.
- smallest, easiest to manage, most cost-effective device at the endpoint,
Key Considerations in choosing a Zero-Client Environment for View Virtual Desktop
1) Security and Compliance
Zero clients provide maximum security and centralized control in a server-hosted virtual desktop environment. Absolutely no data is stored on the endpoint. With PCoIP zero
clients, only the display of graphical information is transmitted to the end user, and it is encrypted before it is sent
2) Cost Of Operation
The lack of moving parts within zero clients ensures that the devices last longer and are more reliable than traditional desktop computers.
Traditional desktop PCs require a significant amount of maintenance.Hardware breaks down and must be replaced. Applications require updating.
Maintaining PCs can place an undue burden on IT administrators. If a user has a problem, maintenance must be done on location, at the user’s workplace.Zero-Clients overcome all these problems
Also zero clients consume a minimal amount of electricity, about 6 to 14 watts of power per hour. This is comparable to the power expended by a small bulb on a string of lights.
Also, the small size of the machine frees up physical workspace for end users
2) Rapid Deployment
Zero clients are essentially plug-and-play devices ,they require only minutes to set up and seconds to boot.
Several zero client models receive power via Ethernet, eliminating the need for a power cord.
After a display and human interface devices such as a keyboard and mouse are connected, the zero client workstation is ready to be utilized
