Subject: RE: Thin clients

I'm interested in this also. An article in a Higher Ed publication I
recently read about a school that switched to thin clients who was able to
move 75% of their 200 faculty/staff office PCs to thin clients and they
switched 50% of their student lab PCs to thin clients. They had them
connecting to data center Windows servers to run what Windows apps then
needed to run, everything else was browser based. I think it was on about a
20 (clients) to 1 (server) ratio but I am not sure on that stat. (remember
that 57% of all statistics are made up) They also said they could then go
from a 3 year replacement plan for a PC to about a 6 year replacement plan
for thin clients (or so they predict since they are only in year 2 of this
new plan). IT'S THE RETURN OF THE DUMB TERMINAL!!!!!! (or something close)

You guys that are using this thin client stuff need to write some articles!
I think this is great stuff!

What I would cover in such an article is simply your initial need, R&D to
find a solution, implementation, and then a history of it's success. If you
don't want to do it for a trade rag you could at least do it for
imho.midrange.com.

Are there any articles out there already that I just haven't taken the time
to notice?

iGels are a very nice thin client also (we moved to them about 3 years ago).
iGel was able to provide a flash card that could be installed into the old
IBM thin clients that would run the iGel thin client image... 3 years later
the majority of our thin clients are still the old IBMs (almost 10 years old
at this point?) that run the iGel image from the flash card.
Pretty slick stuff. Good mgt software also for administering them.

I've been working with Neoware thin clients for a few years now.
They're a pretty good investment. But...I also remembering IBM dropping
their thin client line and catching us off guard. HP buying Neoware does a
lot for strengthening the thin client value proposition.
