UK group Netvoyager has introduced what it claims is the most powerful thin-client.
Featuring a 1GHz Intel class VIA Eden processor and a 17-inch LCD monitor, the Neterm LX-1040 is powered by a Linux core operating system.
The group says thin-client desktop appliances are an ideal alternative to PCs and eliminate viruses and the constant software updates associated with PCs.
The Neterm LX-1040 desktop does not store or execute programs locally or allow files to be downloaded, which Netvoyager says is a significant hidden saving when considering the cost of a virus epidemic in a typical office environment.
The integrated thin-client and LCD provides long-term processing power as well as reduced power consumption and increased space efficiency for space-limited environments, it says.
It provides support for several server protocol technologies including Citrix MetaFrame, Microsoft Terminal Server, Tarantella and X-Windows.
"The Neterm LX-1040 takes thin-client functionality and integration to the next level," says MD Jamil Aboulzelof. "As more companies, large and small, are turning to server-centric computing, we intend to continue to invest in new advancements in thin-client technology to address this growing market."
Applications will run on standard Windows and Unix/Linux servers and display on thin-client appliances across a network, operating as a normal computer.
