Experience the Zero Client Revolution


Virtualization has transformed the way businesses manage their servers and storage. Now it is time to bring the same benefits of lean IT to your office desktops and mobile users. Instead of the complexity and cost of managing fully equipped clients on every desk, each with its own processor, memory, and applications, your enterprise can now deliver IT power to office users with unimagined ease through the Fujitsu Zero Client infrastructure.
This silent, space-saving device delivers a complete desktop experience, securely and reliably, at a fraction of the normal cost. As the name suggests, it goes beyond traditional fat or thin client technology and comes without any of the usual hardware at all. In the office, all the intelligence the Zero Client needs is integrated into a single monitor. For mobile users, everything is on a USB stick that simply plugs into the PC. Business applications, storage, and operating system are delivered from powerful backend servers. With the familiar desktop environment staying just the same, there is no perceptible difference for users. Except, of course, for the extra freedom from local backup and recovery tasks. Zero Administration and Roll-Out Costs For your IT staff, a Zero Client means less administration, with significant savings of both time and money. Rather than installing software updates, administrators make a single central installation, then simply activate it for all the virtual systems. You also build total consistency into your IT environment, with the certainty that your users are always working with the latest software refreshes. The Zero Client itself requires virtually no setup. Delivering genuine plug-and-play capability, it is ready to run instantly, reducing the time horizon for across-the-company rollouts of desktop clients from weeks to just days. In fact, getting started with the Zero Client might be easier than you imagine many enterprise networks turn out to be ready for a swift move without further adjustment. Take a look at the example to see the TCO benefits for a company with 500 employees.

Ultimate Security Quite apart from the administrative benefits, a Zero Client infrastructure also raises security standards. It reduces your exposure to data loss and theft, not to mention virus attack, simply by eliminating vulnerable desktops. With everything stored centrally on your servers, there is less chance of enterprise data or systems being compromised. That makes your IT environment a more secure place to run your business. Life Cycle Efficiency Hardware redundancy is a major expense for companies, a substantial chunk of workload for IT managers, and frustration for users. With a Zero Client-based solution, you avoid the cost of replacing hardware. The Zero Client has no effect on the speed and

responsiveness of desktop environments. Should you need more performance, you simply upgrade the server backend making it far easier for your IT to evolve in line with the needs of the business and its strategy. Portable Zero Client With the Portable Zero Client, users can access their personal virtual desktops anywhere. Everything is on a plug-and-play USB stick. All it takes is a PC with an Internet connection, and people can work securely with all their data at any location. Easy to install, the Portable Zero Client brings the amenities of desktop virtualization to any PC, enables you to protect investment in existing IT hardware, and also gives employees the opportunity to use privately owned systems for business purposes.

Productivity for Professional Applications The Zero Client is designed with a host of features to make office life more productive. The LED-backlight screen, for example, is a whole lot easier on the eyes of busy office professionals. Yet despite the benefits of centralized computing power, this is no one-sizefits-all desktop. Users can attach whatever peripheral devices they need to suit the job in hand. And, when people need to view huge amounts of information at once, it is possible simply to plug in a second screen via the integrated multi-monitoring port. This makes workflows more efficient ideal for applications such as multiple data feeds in banking and raises user productivity. If this sounds like just more cable clutter on the desktop, think again: the Zero Client includes Power over Ethernet, meaning it is powered directly via the network cable and needs no separate power cord. Voice over IP is also possible, for PC-based telephony: this makes the new Zero Client a better-than-ever solution for call centers, in fact for any users who need simultaneous phone and desktop access. Infrastructure Bundles for Fujitsu Zero Client To speed up and simplify the route to virtualized desktops for companies without the appropriate network infrastructure, Fujitsu offers ready-to-deploy Zero Client infrastructure bundles. The bundles contain PRIMERGY servers optimized to four different Zero Client packages for anything from five to fifty workplaces. They integrate seamlessly with existing server-and-desktop solutions, and the rollout can be extended as office PCs reach the end of their life cycle. This provides easy scalability and flexibility for the solution to grow over time. And for customers looking to reinvigorate their IT resources without the worry of expensive setup costs, these bundles also contain key components to administer the server with mouse, keyboard, and a monitor. If required, an optional network switch and other maintenance services are available. Service Information In addition to cutting edge products we can provide you with a complete range of IT infrastructure services that allow you to reduce overall costs and to deliver outstanding service quality for your users while your internal IT specialists can concentrate on their core business.
