DESCRIPTION

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.

There is a ThinGreen Line between what is labeled “green technology” and that which is “truly green” by

its very nature.

Almost all of the power required to run your computer is dissipated as heat!

1 KW = 1,314 BTU More Watts means more heat which

requires cooling, which in turn requires more power…

Workstation PC’s◦ At least twice in ten years◦ Far more raw materials and natural

resources involved Thin Clients

◦ Maybe never◦ Smaller

Computer disposal is not free and it’s certainly not green!!!

Page 18: Thin greenline

Thin Clients require fewer raw materials, natural resources and energy to create and dispose of.

Thin Clients enter and leave the create and destroy cycle significantly less.

Thin Clients have a much smaller carbon footprint while they are in operation.

Can you turn a PC based workstation off?• Real-time trending• Historical data logging• IT pushing updates and backups• Running remote desktop• Booting and application start up

Turn an ACP Enabled thin client off when not in use!

• Sessions are always running on terminal servers• Boot and reconnect in 60 seconds or less

The On/Off Factor

Page 22: Thin greenline

Problem Fear of running diverse applications

(such as HMI and Scheduling/MES) on a single plant floor computer resulting in multiple computers

Solution MultiSession on one ThinManager Ready

thin client Extrapolate across 20 or more clients

with terminal servers for the applications

Why use Two When One Will Do

Page 23: Thin greenline

Problem Critical application requires two identical

HMI stations Solution

Instant Failover and Redundant Ethernet provide redundancy

Install second preconfigured Thin Client – small footprint, minimal space

Fear of Failure
