Thin Client Management Services
Thin Client Management Services Executive Overview
Thin Client Management is an alternative to PCs that will:
- Lower hardware acquisition, support, application deployment and energy costs
- Deploy software to a few servers instead of numerous desktops
- Eliminate the potential for lost, stolen, or corrupted data
- Enable rapid, highly efficient deployment of new applications or upgrades
- Increase user satisfaction by decreasing field service, break/fix, service desk and remote-user support
EDS' Thin Client Management Services centralizes your applications – delivering them from the data center, not the desktop. While the software functions the same way to the end user, benefits to the information technology (IT) organization include lower costs, stronger security, better performance and increased flexibility and scalability.
CIOs are constantly being asked to do more with less. While the complexity of managing enterprise applications is escalating, smaller budgets and fewer resources make it difficult to meet the demands of today's global enterprises. New technologies – such as mobile computing and PDAs – are fueling user demands, but current IT budgets are being used to maintain applications, with no additional budget left to support these initiatives.
The powerhouse behind our thin-client management solution is our data center, which runs the applications, delivers a display to the users and securely stores data in EDS' Service Management Center (SMC). Managing applications in the data center creates a flexible, yet secure IT infrastructure. With EDS, all your applications reside in one centralized location, simplifying upgrades and patches. And since information never leaves the data center, we can help you prevent theft and loss of your critical business data.
