Thinspace Launches TST102X Zero Client
2009-05-01
Thinspace launches its first Zero Client TST102X today. With no operating system or other software pre-installed on the device, the TST102X aims to bring higher level of cost savings and improved manageability to end organisations. These cost and administration benefits are particularly relevant in the current recession.
With a very compact design of just H156x D122x D36mm, the TST102X is the lowest cost thin client on the market with a 400MHz CPU. It PXE boots seamlessly to the operating system on 2X ThinClientServer software, and comes with VGA as standard. They can be easily managed via the vendor independent 2X ThinClientServer software,
The TST102X is the first of a new range of Thinspace thin clients aimed at delivering more flexibility and cost saving features. Ideal for corporates (- particularly banking, retail and service organisations), schools and universities, and public sector organisations such as local Government and Health - they are available through Thinspace's reseller channels. RRP for the TST102X is £143 (ex vat) including the 2X software. "We are delighted to partner with 2X on the launch of this new product ," commented Paul Gittens, Director at Thinspace, "the independent nature of the 2X software breaks down barriers and brings freedom to end organizations that may otherwise be tied down to a particular thin client vendor." "The 2X software provides better integration for existing thin client users looking to add devices onto their infrastructure."
Niko Makris, CEO of 2X Software added: "We're teaming up with some of the leading thin client hardware suppliers in the UK market and we're very pleased to be working with Thinspace. This solution is ideal for organisations moving into a server-based computing infrastructure for the first time, or extending their existing system. The TST102X provides the ideal foundation for companies planning to introduce application streaming or virtualisation later on, as it works seamlessly with all our products - 2X ThinClientServer, 2XApplicationServer, 2X VirtualDesktopServer and 2X LoadBalancer."
Thin client computing is fast becoming the preferred computing technology for many organisations. The launch of TST102X demonstrates Thinspace's commitment to develop cost effective, energy-efficient and feature rich thin clients through open innovation and collaboration.
