2X has released the 2X Server-Based Computing Guide, which details how to optimise IT network infrastructures while cutting hardware, energy and administration costs.
"Businesses worldwide face an escalating desktop PC management problem, requiring tremendous resources, both in staff and capital. As a result, the typical IT infrastructure has become increasingly complex, resource-intensive and expensive," says 2X.
Nikolaos Makris, CEO of 2X, says only the more advanced thin client approach will be able to outdo Windows fat clients in companies' networks, which tend to be more cost-intensive.
"Desktop centralisation like VMware's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or Microsoft's Terminal Server can stop the day-to-day fat client management and maintenance from becoming a bigger headache," he adds.
The guide supports IT decision-makers and administrators with all the necessary information to choose the right server-based computing solution for their network infrastructure, the company says.
Part one, notes the company, describes different application publishing scenarios with 2X ApplicationServer and 2X LoadBalancer on Windows Terminal Server.
Part two explains how to convert a network in a native thin client environment connecting to virtual desktops, Linux and Windows Terminal Servers and publishing applications to the 2X ThinClientServer multiple OS desktop.
