  3. Disadvantages of using Conventional PC model. • Higher price • Costly administration • Difficult to manage • Hard to deploy applications • Lower reliability / useful life • “Planned obsolescence” • High power consumption • Inherently insecure • Viruses • Data / application theft, “tampering” • Grow more complex over time

  4. What is a DISKLESS PC? • A server-based computing solution. • Does not “run” applications locally. • No hard disk required on each node. • Run latest software with blazing speed even on 486 systems.

  5. What is server-based computing? Only keystrokes, mouse clicks, and GUI info travel across the network (or the Internet) User Desktop • All data is stored on the server • All applications are deployed, supported, and executed at the server, not the desktop • All applications running from server are displayed at the desktop

  6. The best of everything • Low Total Cost of Ownership • Easy administration • Applications and data are centrally managed • Nodes are centrally managed • Easy to deploy applications • Easy to troubleshoot problems • High reliability / long life

  7. The best of everything • Low power consumption • High security and control over users. • Access to Windows applications • Thousands of off-the-shelf applications • Ability to run multiple session • Very flexible

  8. Everything is managed at the central server • Faster and easier application deployment and upgrade • Better software version consistency • Less hardware to maintain • Less IT staff required to support more end users • More freedom for users to move around / roam • Less downtime • Increased end user productivity • Faster customer responsiveness • Increased customer satisfaction

  9. Requires less IT staff/time • Remote Setup & administration • Backup at the server • Data Uniformity/Security • Application deployment overnight & centralized • Uses a fraction of the electricity of a PC

  10. TCO is a concept used to better understand the cost elements of deployment of a particular IT model • Elements of TCO include (but not limited to): • Hardware and software acquisition (capital) costs • Support costs • Both IT tech support and “informal” end-user support What is TCO? (Total Cost of Ownership

  11. What is TCO? Cont’d • Hardware and software upgrade and maintenance costs • Hardware and software deployment costs • Network administration and management costs • Training costs • Downtime (lost revenue) costs • Power consumption costs

Cont’d • Basic office automation (Word, Excel, Database, etc.) • High-use applications used by a grouping (ex. new customer set up, sales/usage analysis) and executed on central servers • Offices with limited tech support • Upgrading older equipment / standardizing on / shift to new platform

  16. How can I determine if I need DISKLESS PC? • If you are looking for: • Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Freedom from regular hardware upgrades. • High quality and reliability • Rapid software and hardware deployment • Reduced help desk demands • Faster troubleshooting

  17. How can I determine if I need DISKLESS PC? Cont’d • Increased security and elimination of viruses • Lower administrative costs • Less maintenance • Superior desktop management • Improved user training • Access data from anywhere • Silent operation
