Devon IT Solutions India, in collaboration with IBM, has launched a new line of thin client solutions that complements IBM's Virtual Client Solutions (VCS).
The technology market in recent times has been witnessing a shift from desktop computing to centralized management. Joe Makoid, president, Devon IT, said, "When a market and technology leader like IBM is progressing thin client/hosted client architecture and collaborate with leaders such as Citrix and VMware it is obvious that the current approach to desktop computing is shifting."
"We have always been proponents of server-centric computing and centralized management as a way for IT managers to reduce costs dramatically. Devon thin clients provide IBM customers an easy and cost-effective way to order complete hosted desktop solutions from one source," Makoid said.
According to Sunil Bangalore, program director, India Software Labs, IBM India, India requires new ideas to solve current economic problems. The benefits of server-based and virtual desktops will address problems like security and operating costs. "The variety of virtual client solutions, coupled with Devon IT's thin client, is a potent combination that makes it easy for IT managers to evaluate, assess, and ultimately implement their own virtualized desktop environments."
Devon's new thin clients with IBM part numbers provide a complete set of desktop, mobile and specialized thin client solutions that will meet any end user requirement.
TC2: The ultra-small and inexpensive TC2 is an ideal desktop replacement for businesses looking to downsize their infrastructure and reduce management and power costs. The small form factor unit consumes only 8 watts and is completely silent. TC2 allows users to connect to a variety of servers and virtual desktops.
TC5: This next-generation thin client from Devon IT is for users who need high performance from a small footprint client. The TC5 gives users the capability to use multiple displays with one stateless unit. This ultra-advanced desktop appliance supports dual DVI video, internal wireless (optional) and comes with either the DeTOS Operating System or Windows XP embedded. The TC5 is exclusively a Devon IT product and will be orderable through IBM using an IBM part number.
TC10: This highest performance desktop access device gives the end-user a true PC experience with instant screen updates, full multimedia support, and full USB compatibility. It connects to IBM's HC10 Workstation Blade using PC-over-IP. Unlike a traditional RDP thin client, the TC10 is for demanding users that require real time PC-like capability such as financial traders and power users such as CAD engineers. The TC10 is equivalent to the IBM CP20.
SafeBook LVO is the next-generation mobile thin client notebook. Built on the Lenovo ThinkPad platform the SafeBook LVO is available with Windows XP embedded software and is compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad docking stations and accessories.
The SafeBook LVO is a mobile thin client laptop with no hard drive, so all sensitive data is protected against loss or theft. With its low purchase price, low operating and maintenance costs, and reinforced security functions, the SafeBook LVO offers the latest thin client technology in a lightweight, mobile notebook. The SafeBook LVO is exclusively a Devon IT product, and is orderable through IBM using an IBM part number.
Rajesh Naidu, general manager of Bangalore-based Devon IT Solutions India, said, "Our thin clients that are orderable from IBM can help customers immediately access any application without changing the architecture, touching the infrastructure or rewriting code and that is exactly what they are looking for in a secure access hosted client solution."
