Green “Thin” Computing is Good
Business
 Thin client desktop and laptops use 1/10th the energy of a typical
PC.
 Thin clients have twice the lifecycle and are ¼ of the size of a
PC, so Businesses have a less frequent hardware refresh ,
therefore producing less waste into landfills.
 Customers do not have onsite servers which further reduce their
carbon footprint.
 Moving to ThinDesk also involves 100% virtualization of backend servers. Consolidation ratios of 10 to 1.
Gartner named Green IT a top strategic
technology for 2008 as companies are
looking to improve energy efficiency and
reduce their environmental impact
Apples to Apples
Typical PC’s have Power supplies of 250-400 watts...If left on 24
hours a day would use 180kw-288 kw of power per month.
Typical Thin Client devices range in power consumption from
50-65 watts or 36kw -47 kw per month.
This is a power savings of 73-88% power savings
These savings do not include the cost of a energy consumption
of a company’s servers, server room cooling, battery backups
networking equipment and space air conditioning.
