GOING GREENSPACE

GREENSMART COMPUTING
Over the past few years, improving energy efficiency while minimizing the environmental impact corporations have on global warming has become a top of mind business issue (and expense) with senior IT executives. These issues have helped propel thin computing to the forefront, as a cost effective solution which leaves a very small environmental footprint. At a very high-level, thin computing offers users the benefits of consuming less power, but that’s just the beginning. Here are just a few things to consider:

• Less materials and energy are used in production compared to a PC
• Vspace thin clients are small in size and weight which reduces the cost and energy required for transportation
• Less materials also means less to dispose of at the end of its life
• Up to 90 percent of the unit can be recycled, and up to 99 percent of the packaging can be recycled as well
• Low heat output means less power needed for air-conditioning systems
• Thin clients meet stringent ISO 14001 & ROHS certification
• Meets mandatory WEEE recycling process
• Longer product lifespan over a PC – 5 to 7 years
• Wyse thin clients can be managed remotely, so maintenance and software updates can be delivered without support staff having to visit the user’s desk
