Why you should choose HP Thin Clients
Your organization can benefit from several competitive advantages that HP has in the thin client marketplace including Better price / performanceHP offers an economical solution with many of the benefits of a Windows environment at a lower price point Legacy and legacy-free modelsHP offers both a legacy and a legacy free model in thin clients offering more support for option requirements and future enhancements. Powerful, discrete graphics memoryHP has a unique graphics solutions utilizing ATI Radeon graphics with up to 16 MB of dedicated graphics memory. Discrete memory allows for better performance since system memory is not shared. These graphics also support better color depth with higher resolutions, faster refresh rates and supports bigger monitors. Separate PC BIOSBasic Input Output System (BIOS) flash and Operating System (OS) flash are separate on HP thin clients providing higher reliability and stability resulting in less down time and improved manageability. Power efficiency Utilizing Transmeta Crusoe Processors, HP thin clients consume much less power than typical processors allowing HP to make a small, cool running, high performance thin client. Realize cost savings with a thin client that uses less than 30 watts of power versus 65 to 220 watts for a desktop PC. Single, comprehensive management software solutionAltiris Deployment Solution from HP allows your organization to use one tool to manage thin clients, desktops, notebooks, and handhelds. With an enterprise level management solution, can lower total ownership costs.
At a comparable price point, HP offers faster processors, dedicated graphics memory and a management platform that supports thin clients, PCs and severs. With superior hardware and an industry leading management solution, HP thin clients stand head and shoulders above our competitors.
Features of HP Thin Clients
Industry-standard componentsUsers get PC-like performance thanks to industry-standard architecture, discrete BIOS, and a complete Microsoft Windows or Linux embedded operating system. The hardware, BIOS, and image layers used on these models are standard PC technology, already tested on millions of PC users. Your organization will reap the benefits of already proven technology while leveraging existing IT skill sets. Improved efficiency and reliabilitySolid-state design with no moving parts offers higher reliability than traditional PCs, resulting in fewer maintenance events and less down time. No
moving parts also mean lower audible noise and potentially longer product life expectancy. HP thin clients are power-efficient for direct electrical costs savings--using less wattage than a PC. Desktop-like featuresUsers can run multiple windows and process local applications faster using ATI graphics with discrete graphic memory, fast processors, and substantial system memory. Legacy support, storage, security and wireless networking options are also available for select models. Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) With improved overall reliability and industry-standard components, HP thin clients help lower total ownership costs. Lower costs are realized through: Controlled environmentServer-based applications are faster to upgrade and cost effective since you can update servers rather than clients. A thin client IT environment reduces the need for PC staging and hard drive image management. Reduced data/hardware loss or theftThin clients are functional primarily when connected to a host server. Therefore, the data resides on secure network storage and reduces data, hardware, security and virus threats in your organizations environment. Lower support costsNo moving parts result in less maintenance events and downtime than PCs Fewer help desk support callsCentralized server hosted applications allow IT administrators to control and manage efficiently for enhanced reliability. Backward compatible imageThe HP Compaq t5000 family offers investment protection with backward compatible software images. Without abandoning existing expenditures, you can transition to HP thin clients managing and deploying a single software image for existing models and replacement models reducing the cost to deploy, manage and own HP thin clients. Simplified IT management thin clients are easy to deploy and run "out of the box" with a familiar desktop environment, taking just minutes to set up. Your organization can establish a client network easily with automated HP setup and configuration tools, and Altiris Deployment Solutions. Rapid application deploymentRemote application software allows your organization to quickly and easily upgrade users to the latest applications by updating the server or blade disk image. Users can be set up and ready to start working within minutes. Software upgrades and changes are cost effective through central management. Quick problem resolutionProblem diagnosis can be much simpler on a thin client terminal than on a standard PC, where the variables are greater. Better system protectionSince thin clients have no removable media disk drives, users are less likely to introduce new software into the system, which means fewer hardware and software conflicts, fewer configuration issues, and reduced threat of viruses. Thin clients typically connect to application servers for operation, reducing the likelihood of product or data theft. For even more security add options such as SmartCard readers or biometrics to provide a more sophisticated level of user authentication. Excellent performanceThe innovative design of the HP Compaq Thin Client series includes the highest performance processors available today, internal amplified speaker, ATI Rage XC graphics with 8 MB or Radeon 7000M with16 MB of discrete video memory, IDE flash memory, and an easy-to-remove stand that allows for vertical or horizontal positioning for integration into most environments. The cable-free design enhances ease of serviceability and increases reliability. An external power source optimizes the system for a higher frequency CPU, allowing for great performance, and further improved serviceability and reliabilityall in a small, simple package about the size of a one-liter bottle.

Increased flexibilityMost models now provide optional PCI expansion slots for more options support. USB 2.0 support on some new models also allows for faster data transfer with peripherals.

Thin Client Options

To provide you with greater flexibility, a wide variety of options are available and sold separately for the HP Compaq t5000 Thin Client series. Most HP options are plug and play ready with preloaded drivers to ease deployment, saving time. Those options that are not plug and play have add ons defined for quick deployment. Options include StorageLocal storage is available for the HP thin clients through the use of such devices as Disk-on-Key and MultiBay options. Disk-on-keyThe disk-on-key is a pen-sized USB removable storage device with 32 MB of file storage capacity. Light weight and compact, it plugs into the USB port of a thin client or PC and acts like any other mass storage device. The host computer immediately detects the disk-on-key, recognizing it as a supplementary removable drive and assigns it a drive letter. Files located on the system can be moved to the device for storage or for transfer to another computer, much as would be done with a diskette drive. The benefits of the diskon-key include the additional capacity that it offers over a standard 1.44-MB diskette drive, and the flexibility of transporting data on a small storage device versus a bulky removable drive or various diskettes. MultiBayThe Compaq External MultiBay supports a 1.44-MB diskette drive, 30-GB hard drive, or CD-ROM drive options. SecurityBecause thin clients operate only while connected to a server, they are inherently more secure than traditional PCs. No removable media drives or hard drives (except where optional local storage may be in use) help prevent data theft or loss, and critical information is stored on network storage, ensuring reliable backup and redundancy. For additional personalized security, a security lock, fingerprint scanner and SmartCard reader are also available. PCI Expansion ModuleAn optional PCI Expansion Module is available for most HP Compaq Thin Client models (except t5300). Some examples of optional PCI devices include wireless networking cards (802.11b), dial up modems, additional graphics, network, and input/output options.
