Thin Client Demos continue

We are still working thru evaluating the ChipPC, but we have also added Wyse V10L to our demos.

After talking with the technical engineers at Wyse we are armed with a little more knowledge.  Where as the ChipPC runs on Windows CE the V10L runs on the Wyse proprietary OS.  We are working thru the configuration but as I understand it you put a configuration file on a internal FTP server and via DHCP you point the devices on boot to the FTP server where it pulls your configuration.  We are told then the RDP session can start and all is well.  We will be evaluating this process, but if it works as expected this appears to be a more cost effective and simple approach to the ChipPC… granted not nearly as much of a cool factor but a better configuration.

Here is how Wyse describes the little box:

“The Wyse Thin OS powered Wyse V10L thin client is the most optimized solution for Citrix ICA (Presentation Server, Desktop Server, and Access Essentials), Microsoft RDP (Terminal Services), and VMware VDI environments. This ultra-thin operating system boots in seconds, automatically updates itself, and delivers the administrative simplicity that IT needs. And, with an unpublished API, Wyse Thin OS is one of the most secure operating systems on the market. The Wyse V10L thin client provides additional expansion opportunities with parallel and PS/2 ports. A DVI-I connector allow for the connection of digital or analog monitors, or both via an optional splitter cable. The Wyse V10L ships with a keyboard and mouse so all you have to provide is the monitor, external power and a network connection.”

Less than 4 weeks until our deadline for our registration computers to be online.. more info to come as we learn more about the ‘right’ thin client for our application.
