No administration or maintenance needed on the desktop.
Virtually eliminates the time and cost required to install and maintain the desktop as no desktop upgrades are required to take advantage of new applications.
No computation is performed on the SX200 thin client board--all processing is done on the server. Also leverages reliability, availability, and serviceability features of Sun servers.
Reduces resource limitations due to desktop configurations while increasing system reliability.
Shared computing resources.
All computing occurs on the server, allowing users to share resources and lowering the costs needed to put server-class performance on every desktop.
Increases return on investment.
Shared applications.
Enables access to any application running on the server.
Existing applications can run without porting or recoding. The SX200 thin client board can run Solaris Operating System and Java software and can access Microsoft Windows NT or 2000 via interoperability software.
Enables business flexibility to meet changing requirements.
