SOTHIN'S

THIN CLIENT

 

SoThin Thin Client is a software application which converts an existing Windows XP (or older) workstation into a Thin Client.

The SoThin Connection Manager allows you to add local programs, Microsoft RDP/RDC, Citrix, Virtual servers / desktops and Tarantella
* connections as well as creating your own custom connections. This allows you to extend the useable lifecycle of your PCs and Laptops and negates the requirement for hardware Thin Clients to be purchased when an organisation decides to move to a Thin Client environment.

           Benefits

Reduce the cost and time spent maintaining your PCs and laptops

On average, 80% of the costs incurred during the lifetime of a PC can be directly attributed to the support and management of the device. By converting the device to a Thin Client, the cost and time spent managing your PCs is significantly reduced, leading to an average cost saving of 35% .

Extend the lifespan of your aging devices

By converting your Windows PCs and laptops into Thin Client devices, the workload of the device is significantly decreased as the bulk of the processing is now carried out by your servers. This means the devices can continue to function well beyond the average lifespan of 3 years. This also allows you to reduce your organisation's carbon footprint by reusing and re-purposing hardware that would otherwise be disposed of. Find out more on our Green Facts page.

Empower your current and aging devices

Empower your current and aging (legacy) devices by converting them to Thin Client desktop enablers for the latest in Centralised / Server Based Computing (SBC) technologies. SoThin Thin Client allows you to seamlessly connect your devices to Microsoft Terminal Servers, Citrix Servers including Xen Desktop, Virtual Servers and Published applications. (See our Terms and Definitions page.)

Continue to use your local applications and resources

There are a number of Thin Client solutions available, including hardware Thin Clients and Virtual Desktops; however these solutions are reliant on your local applications being supported in a server environment. SoThin Thin Client removes this reliance by allowing you to continue to use your local applications in addition to running your server connections. This allows you to reap the benefits of both a conventional PC-based (Fat) environment and a Thin Client environment.
