IT Wise, the sub-Saharan distributor for VXL Instruments, a major supplier of thin client hardware, today announced that the latter has slashed the entry level price of entry level desktop thin clients with its new virtualisation-ready Itona TC1330.
The product includes features and specification well beyond its price competitors, including Linux Virtual Desktops on the optimised Sylph-OS operating system.
“The full function Itona TC1330 is 15%-20% cheaper than the competition without any compromise on spec, performance or build,” commented Frank Noon, VP of Sales at Manchester-based VXL Instruments.
“And it comes with VMware View 3.1 pre-loaded to provide an instant virtualisation solution.”
Featuring a compact design - the box is just 19cm high - the Itona TC1330 boasts ultra green and high security credentials. The fanless design allows for reliable and low power consumption, and because no data is stored onboard, the unit is very secure as there is no data to be corrupted by viruses or lost if the TC1330 itself is stolen or lost.
“This is the year when thin client, driven by recession, improved specs, lower pricing and a growing demand from corporates for thin client solutions - and virtualisation - continues its breakthrough,” concluded Noon.
