| Thin Clients reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). By slashing system administration costs and reducing downtime. Managing a Thin Client environment to maximize cost savings successfully requires the right tools, and ACP has responded with ThinManager®. ThinManager® lets you configure, maintain, upgrade and replace Thin Client devices on your network quickly and efficiently. Its intuitive Windows Explorer-like interface provides an at-a-glance environment for management of connected ACP enabled Thin Clients. ThinManager® is also a client enabling technology, so each and every connected client device has the same great features.* When matched up against the competitors, ACP enabled clients can outperform Thin Clients in the same CPU class by more than 50%! * As hardware permits. |  |
What makes a Thin Client better than a PC? - Quicker installs with less configuration
- No hard drive means no software to install on the client. Terminal Server environments allow a single install of each application for use by all connected clients.
- Lower cost
- Limited client hardware requirements including lower cost CPU, no floppy or hard drives, and less memory.
- Less maintenance
- Increased MTBF results in less frequent replacement.
- Longer useful life
- All application processing occurs at the Terminal Server. As application requirements increase, improvements to the server platform provide corresponding performance improvements at the clients. Where workstations live three years, Thin Clients live six.
Who should use a thin client? - Anyone seeking a Lower Total Cost of Ownership over expensive Industrial or Desktop PCs.
- Anyone seeking to cut downtime and maintenance to a minimum.
- Anyone that needs enhanced security and reliability.
| Centralized and secure configuration & maintenance of ACP Enabled Thin Client Systems  What makes ACP's Thin Client technology better than others? ThinManager is designed for the industrial market, and adds server-side management features including auto-creation, replacement, feature grouping and modules for simpler configuration and greater functionality. ACP Enabled Thin Clients can be supported with little or no previous Thin Client experience. ThinManager Enabling requires no added client storage devices, thereby lowering the client cost. ThinManager also provides for realtime client firmware updates. Make improvements without making waves. Working with our Enabled manufacturers we now bring you over 40 completely different Thin Client hardware platforms, each with the same great ThinManager features.  |
