Leicester, United Kingdom, 12th May 2016. 10ZiG Technology proudly announces the launch of a new Cloud Manager, allowing for management of 10ZiG Thin and Zero Clients over the Internet. The 10Zi
The 10ZiG Cloud Manager has been developed to address the changing requirements of Thin and Zero Clients to support connectivity via Cloud in addition to traditional managed networks. The introduction of 10ZiG Cloud Manager complements the existing 10ZiG Manager.
As an extension of their existing 10ZiG Manager software, 10ZiG Cloud Manager permits new and existing customers to take advantage of this new feature. The cloud based end points can be managed in exactly the same way as traditionally connected end points including LAN, WAN and VPN. This combines existing features of their 10ZiG Manager including Automatic Configuration, Power On, Shut Down, Reboot, Firmware updating and shadowing of Client endpoints.
Google and its partners have managed to sell a lot of Chromebooks without requiring access to Microsoft’s Windows ecosystem. But having that access — alongside the usual Chrome OS experience — would allow users to have their computing cake and eat it, too. At least that’s what virtualization company NComputing is hoping to achieve with its new Chromebook.
The CX110 is a traditional Chrome-based laptop, but with one key difference: It includes a year’s access to the firm’s new vSpace Client for Chromebook software, which provides a Windows desktop experience on a Chromebook device via a centralized vSpace Server, which can provide up to 100 virtual desktops.
HP Inc. today announced the HP t310, the newest addition to the HP Zero Client family of products, delivering high performance and world-class security. The HP t310 Quad-Display Zero Client can support up to four displays simultaneously, allowing ease-of-use for customers to multitask across monitors without adding additional components. The new HP Zero Client offerings are designed to meet the needs of hospitals, engineering firms, government offices and financial institutions at risk of data breaches by providing computing solutions that have no sensitive data on the devices.
The HP t310 Quad-Display Zero Client offers:
DisplayPort-enabled multi-display setup to run multiple graphics, modeling, and simulation feeds on two 2560 x 1600 displays or four 1920 x 1200 displays.
Worry-free security with a Teradici Zero Client that has no

OS and transmits pixels instead of data.
Powerful performance for high-resolution, full-frame rate 3D graphics and HD streaming media across all your displays from the accelerated performance of PCoIP hardware.
The study, which surveyed 220 business leaders from around the globe, highlights the emphasis businesses are placing on solutions which offer inherent security. The report showed that 69 percent of business leaders believe the improved security associated with thin and zero clients is a significant benefit to their organization, while 70 percent say these solutions have a natural role to play in a modern corporate environment. Further, businesses are looking for solutions that don’t burden finite IT resources, and are increasingly investing in solutions that can remain completely secure throughout their lifespan without the need for constant updates.

Sustainable IT hasn’t really made a big breakthrough yet. Sure, big corporations have their ‘green’ mission statements but it’s all kind of obligatory. Time to take a deeper look at sustainability.
Take a look at the financial numbers when you have 250 pc’s versus 250 smart terminals: 250 pc’s will cost you EUR 1320,- a month and EUR 15.840 a year. 250 smart terminals will cost you EUR 59,40 a month, and EUR 712,80 a year. That’s not only a huge difference in unnecessary wasted energy, it’s a huge difference in your wallet as well.
Next step is to calculate the amount of CO2 we can save by using smart terminals. The 50 pc’s consume 15.840 kWh on a yearly basis. The 50 smart terminals consume 712,8 kWh on a yearly basis. In CO2 units this is a 9346 kg footprint for the pc’s versus 421 kg for the smart terminals.
Normally, HP ThinPro OS interface is configured in a kiosk mode, as the concept of a thin/zero client is based on using a thick client to connect to another resource. For this purpose, a standard user does not need to authenticate to the thin client per se and would just need to perform a connection – e.g. VMware Horizon View. The user will eventually authenticate through the connection.
The point of this blog post is to demonstrate that a malicious actor can compromise such thin clients in a trivial and quick way provided physical access, a standard prerequisite in an attack against a kiosk.
The firm thinks the dip is attributable to economic factors, rather than a loss of interest in thin clients or desktop virtualisation (VDI). Lower public sector spending, in particular, slowed demand for a product often associated with locking down desktops in ways deemed useful by organisations with unusual security requirements.
One of the interesting points that was brought up on our podcast with Workspot last week was around the “complexity” of Windows. (By the way, if you haven’t listened to that podcast yet, it was fantastic.
We may not be in the post-PC age, but we’re definitely in the ‘plus everything else’ era. A gaggle of new mobile devices has gathered to join the PC, and it’s making things more complex for IT administrators. Smart phones were already heavily in the enterprise, and now, tablets are gaining traction too. How can they cut through the management headache?
Cloaking is a relatively new term in the app virtualization world, but it’s something that has gained traction in the past few years. Quite simply, “cloaking” is a technique where you use the same app virtualization and layering technologies we’ve been talking about previously in this series to make an app “disappear” and “appear” instantly.

Bremen, Germering February 22, 2016 –Software expertise meets proven hardware expertise: IGEL Technology and Advantech-DLoG, a leading global provider of rugged industrial PC solutions for logistics, large machinery and industrial manufacturing, pooling their expertise in a ongoing technology partnership. The collaboration can take at the international trade fair for distribution, material and information flow “LogiMAT” in inspection interested customers from 8 March: the new vehicle terminal series DLT V72 from Advantech-DLoG. The rugged industrial PCs are suitable for logistics applications of all kinds and will also be available with the IGEL Linux operating system in the future. Thus equipped, they can be remotely managed easily via the included management software IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) and fit seamlessly into centralized IT infrastructures. Another highlight of the joint development work: The direct integration of Advantech-DLoG WLAN driver in the Linux firmware. In this way, the switching between different access points in the WLAN (roaming) is ensured as smooth as possible and without any failures. With the DLT V72 series, both companies present a thoughtful combination of hardware and software as a perfectly coordinated overall solution.
The new DLT V72 Series Advantech-DLoG is the successor of the successful model range MTC 6, had founded with the IGEL and DLoG four years ago a technology partnership.
