Server Based Computing and Virtualisation technology is ‘the’ way to green your IT.

As Server Based Computing utilises Thin Clients, these are much smaller than traditional PC’s, the associated manufacturing, packaging and transport costs, are much less than when compared to a PC.

And the savings don’t stop once the Thin Clients are installed. A Thin Client device will use approximately 10% of the power needed to run a standard PC, the ongoing cost savings, and reduction electricity usage is incredible.

With no moving parts, such as fans and hard drives, there are fewer things that can go wrong, thereby improving reliability, and meaning fewer trips to the desk by IT support staff.

The other benefit of the Thin Client having no moving parts is that the units produce a lot less heat. The average PC converts roughly 50% of its electricity to heat, which then means air conditioning is required to help cooling, further increasing costs and the associated impact on the environment.

Improved reliability also means an increase in the life of the units - the average life span of a Thin Client device is five to seven years, compared to a 3 to 5 year life of a PC.

And when it is time finally time for replacement, there are less materials that need to be recycled.
