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.TRANSCRIPT

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!!!
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.
Computer uses 95 WATTS Runs 12 hours per day US population ~ 300 Million people 75% of people have a computer
Replace PC’s with ThinManager Ready Thin Clients Add a terminal server for every 25 Thin Clients Annual Savings of 69 Billion kWhrs per year US home uses 8,900 kWhrs per year Save enough power to supply 7,800,000 homes 500 mWatt Coal Fired Plant – 3.5 Billion kWhrs 20 Coal Fired Power Plants!!!!
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
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
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
Hidden Value of ACP Enabled Thin Clients is Made Visible
