Green “Thin” Computing is Good Business

Thin client desktop and laptops use 1/10th the energy of a typical PC.

Thin clients have twice the lifecycle and are ¼ of the size of a PC, so Businesses have a less frequent hardware refresh , therefore producing less waste into landfills.

Customers do not have onsite servers which further reduce their carbon footprint.

Moving to ThinDesk also involves 100% virtualization of back-end servers. Consolidation ratios of 10 to 1.

Gartner named Green IT a top strategic technology for 2008 as companies are looking to improve energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact

Apples to Apples

Typical PC’s have Power supplies of 250-400 watts...If left on 24 hours a day would use 180kw-288 kw of power per month.

Typical Thin Client devices range in power consumption from 50-65 watts or 36kw -47 kw per month.

This is a power savings of 73-88% power savings

These savings do not include the cost of a energy consumption of a company’s servers, server room cooling, battery backups networking equipment and space air conditioning.
