Thin Client Server: Thinner is Better

One of the most innovative features of the SinglePoint Office is also one of the most proven technologies in computing. Based on the computing model of the 60's and 70's, our server provides a central repository for all of your applications. However, unlike the servers of the 60's and 70's that could only provide a small text based terminal to clients our server has enough power to provide a full graphical desktop to up to 50 simultaneous clients.

This paradigm shift provides compelling improvements to the current computing environment. These include:

  1. Hardware cost savings:
  2. Because all of the processing is done on the server, you can use very low end pc's on your employee's desks. We provide and recommend dedicated thin client hardware. These thin clients have no moving parts, no hard drive, no fans, use very little power, and are tiny. They make no noise, save desk space, and are significantly cheaper than standard desktop computers. This also means as software requires more processing power, you simply add it to the server, and you will never have to replace another desktop computer again.

  3. Ease of Software Management:
  4. Installing all of your software in one central repository makes upgrades a snap! All of your users will be accessing the same set of software so when the next version of Office is released, simply install it once on our server, and all of your employees are upgraded. No more running around between computers, no more version incompatibilities.

  5. Virus defense and security improvements:
  6. The thin client machines run a stripped down version of the Linux operating system. Because all of the software will be installed on our server, a virus has no other target to infect. Now there is only one place that hackers can attack, and only one place to defend against hackers and viruses. Many security researchers attest to the fact that decreasing complexity is the best way to reduce security breaches. It is much easier to secure one door than to secure 20 or more. Using the thin client approach, our system effectively closes all of the open doors on your network, leaving only one to be secured.

  7. Remote access made simple:
  8. Since all of the software is hosted on a single computer, using our built in VPN software, you can access all of your software and files from any internet connected computer.

    Because of these advantages moving to a thin client based computing platform makes all the sense in the world!
