Research shows 87% of business applications are web-based yet only 2% of firms use web technology for document scanning
October 8, 2014 — Research shows 87% of business applications are web-based yet only 2% of firms use web technology for document scanning [1]. To address this, Kodak Alaris announced today a third model in its ScanMate series – the KODAK ScanMate i1180 Scanner. The new scanner allows easy connection to thin client systems or web-based applications in companies running Intranet environments.
New KODAK Info Input Solution software is available too. It works in sync with the KODAK ScanMate i1180 and other scanners and is a secure web-based thin client document capture solution. It automatically captures, classifies and extracts information from paperwork and eliminates any need for expensive thick client infrastructure.
Hauke Fast, Kodak Alaris’ EAMER product marketing manager, says, “Web-based or a thin-client architectures allow organisations to speed up adoption of new business applications whilst minimising support costs. The ScanMate i1180 does all its image processing locally within the scanner. This minimises the need to purchase and support high-end PCs and reduces the impact on network performance due to traffic congestion.”
The KODAK ScanMate i1180 is a comprehensive scanning package
Like the recently announced i1150, the ScanMate i1180 comes with integrated barcode recognition – supporting nine barcode types – and has a customisable colour LCD interface to help users quickly identify where to send captured images. Intelligent Document Protection safeguards against jams, and the ScanMate i1180 offers TWAIN and ISIS driver compatibility to make it simple to integrate with other applications. The ScanMate i1180 includes one button Smart Touch functionality so users can start business processes and scan to predefined locations.
Able to process 40 pages per minute with a recommended volume of up to 5,000 pages per day, the ScanMate i1180 comes with a full license for the EMC Captiva Cloud Toolkit to make it straightforward for developers to write their own thin client or web capture applications. This is the first time a scanner in this class has had such software included for free eliminating the need to buy middleware.
A low specification PC is all that is necessary for full speed scanning (such as an Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GHz, 2 GB RAM machine), making the new ScanMate ideal for use in network environments like Citrix, server-client, remote desktop and so on.

Thin client and zero client end users access office productivity applications – such as email, word processing, spreadsheets and electronic presentations – that are hosted in data centers. Zero client PCs are differentiated by having no operating system, no local storage and don’t retain persistent data. Antivirus protection is not necessary. IT departments that implement zero client technology reduce maintenance and administrative complexity and realize a lower total cost of ownership.
Cirrus LT uses the Teradici PCoIP® protocol to ensure superior computing performance. PCoIP compresses, encrypts and encodes the computing experience at the data center and transmits only pixels across the network to the end user. PC users have secure, fully functional access to all applications. Cirrus LT takes advantage of the strongest security protocols, AES-256 cryptography and NSA Suite B ciphers.
The energy efficiency and sustainability have arrived in the middle class. However, the IT infrastructure can still make much greener. In addition to the virtualization and energy-saving thin and zero clients are on the rise.
Bremen March 10, 2015 – The Green IT has developed from a former hype for the Group’s corporate practice – even in the middle class. The local level and how it goes now, revealing a supported IGEL Technology Techconsult survey of 200 companies with 10 to 999 employees. The study found regarding the IT infrastructure that 51% of the companies surveyed locate the largest savings in the IT workplace. The popular Green IT initiative in this field is virtualization with 74 percent. Also on the rise are thin and zero clients. The slender access devices according to the survey 28 percent of SMEs surveyed in use.
That the demand for the slim devices in the SME sector continues, the study also shows: Around one third of the surveyed companies still use the no thin or zero clients, retain them for an alternative to the previously used conventional PCs. This statement implies that long thin clients are not just an issue for large corporations, but also win in SMEs steady influence.
The most important contribution to improving the environmental performance in terms of IT infrastructure provides, according to the companies surveyed virtualization with its consolidated action. Virtual environments of any kind, whether servers, desktop, or storage not only save electricity costs, they also make a great contribution in terms of the sustainable use of resources. Thus, it is not surprising that already use three out of four of the companies surveyed in the study virtual environments within their IT infrastructure. In addition to a large amount of server virtualization in the area of desktop virtualization with 35% still plenty of room for improvement above. The same applies to the use of thin and zero clients (28%) currently prädesdiniert due to their energy-saving operation without fans and hard drives for use in virtualized environments.
Broad portfolio makes the move to thin clients
The growing interest in thin clients met the German market leader IGEL with a wide range of hardware and software solutions that enable IT jobs interpret not only energy efficient, but also much easier to roll out and let manage. For data and applications only need to be centrally maintained and administered on the server. Thus, the high maintenance of software attributable to the individual desktop workstations. In addition, the included IGEL products IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) allows standardized remote administration of all settings and firmware components.
And even in the event that the nationwide transition to hardware thin clients can not be realized ad hoc, IGEL thin client software with the Universal Desktop Converter 2 (Udc2) an attractive and cost-effective alternative. The software is installed as the operating system on PCs or notebooks and makes the hardware used a powerful, universal thin client. So all PC-based devices can be standardized, including management and support. The desktop administration costs are reduced drastically and also from Green IT point of view, precisely this alternative because additional electrical is avoided and the life cycle of the client hardware is extended. The time schedule for hardware investments IT budgets can thus be saved or used otherwise.

Umfrage im Mittelstand: Thin Clients treiben Green IT weiter voran
Die Themen Energieeffizienz und Nachhaltigkeit sind im Mittelstand angekommen. Doch die IT-Infrastruktur lässt sich noch deutlich grüner gestalten. Neben der Virtualisierung sind auch energiesparende Thin und Zero Clients auf dem Vormarsch.
Bremen 10. März 2015 – Das Thema Green IT hat sich vom einstigen Hype zur gelebten Unternehmenspraxis entwickelt – auch im Mittelstand. Den dortigen Stand und wie es nun weitergeht, enthüllt eine von IGEL Technology unterstützte Techconsult-Umfrage unter 200 Unternehmen mit 10 bis 999 Mitarbeitern. Dabei ergab die Studie in Bezug auf die IT-Infrastruktur, dass 51%der befragten Unternehmen das größte Einsparpotential am IT-Arbeitsplatz verorten. Die beliebteste Green IT-Maßnahme in diesem Bereich ist mit 74 Prozent die Virtualisierung. Ebenfalls auf dem Vormarsch sind Thin und Zero Clients. Die schlanken Zugriffsgeräte sind laut Umfrage bei 28 Prozent der befragten Mittelständler im Einsatz.
Dass die Nachfrage nach den schlanken Endgeräten im Mittelstand anhält, zeigt die Studie ebenfalls: Rund ein Drittel der befragten Unternehmen, die noch keine Thin oder Zero Clients nutzen, halten diese für eine Alternative zu den bisher eingesetzten herkömmlichen PCs. Diese Aussage impliziert, dass Thin Clients längst nicht nur ein Thema für Großunternehmen sind, sondern auch in KMU stetig an Einfluss gewinnen.
Den wichtigsten Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Ökobilanz in Bezug auf die IT-Infrastruktur leistet nach Aussage der befragten Unternehmen die Virtualisierung mit ihrer konsolidierenden Wirkung. Virtuelle Umgebungen jeglicher Art, ob Server, Desktop oder Storage sparen nicht nur Stromkosten, sie leisten auch einen großen Beitrag hinsichtlich des nachhaltigen Ressourceneinsatzes. Somit ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass drei von vier der im Rahmen der Studie befragten Unternehmen bereits virtuelle Umgebungen im Rahmen ihrer IT-Infrastruktur einsetzen. Neben einem großen Anteil von Server-Virtualisierung ist im Bereich der Desktop-Virtualisierung mit 35% noch reichlich Luft nach oben. Gleiches gilt für die Nutzung von Thin und Zero Clients (28%), die gerade durch ihren energiesparenden Betrieb ohne Lüfter und Festplatten für den Einsatz in virtualisierten Umgebungen prädesdiniert sind.
Breites Portfolio vereinfacht den Umstieg auf Thin Clients
Dem steigenden Interesse an Thin Clients begegnet der deutsche Marktführer IGEL mit einem umfassenden Angebot an Hardware- und Softwarelösungen, mit denen sich die IT-Arbeitsplätze nicht nur energiesparender auslegen, sondern auch wesentlich einfacher ausrollen und managen lassen. Denn Daten und Applikationen müssen nur noch zentral auf dem Server vorgehalten und administriert werden. Dadurch entfällt die aufwendige Wartung von Software auf den einzelnen Desktop-Arbeitsplätzen. Zusätzlich gestattet die im Lieferumfang aller IGEL Produkte enthaltene IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) eine standardisierte Fernadministration sämtlicher Einstellungen und Firmware-Komponenten.
Und auch für den Fall, dass der flächendeckende Umstieg auf Hardware Thin Clients sich nicht ad hoc realisieren lässt, bietet IGEL mit dem Software Thin Client Universal Desktop Converter 2 (UDC2) eine attraktive und kostengünstige Alternative. Die Software wird als Betriebssystem auf PCs oder Notebooks installiert und macht aus der verwendeten Hardware einen leistungsfähigen, universell einsetzbaren Thin Client. So lassen sich alle PC-basierten Endgeräte inklusive Management und Support standardisieren. Der Desktop Administrationsaufwand reduziert sich drastisch und auch aus Green IT-Gesichtspunkten rechnet sich diese Alternative, denn zusätzlicher Elektroschrott wird vermieden und der Lebenszyklus der Client-Hardware verlängert sich. Das für Hardware-Investitionen eingeplante IT-Budget kann somit gespart oder anderweitig verwendet werden.

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.

With thousands of staff caring for patients around the clock, St George’s Healthcare NHS Trust is the largest healthcare provider in southwest London. With over 7,000 dedicated staff, St George’s Healthcare serves an overall population of 1.3 million across southwest London. A large number of services, such as cardiothoracic medicine and surgery, neurosciences and renal transplantation, also cover significant populations from Surrey and Sussex, totalling around 3.5 million people.
To serve such a big population, St George’s clinicians are constantly moving throughout all the facilities to treat patients. Timing and quick service are the primary need for the hospital. Doctors require fast, easy and secure access to clinical applications and patients records anywhere and anytime across the Trust, to provide the best care.
The IT department from St George’s has therefore looked in the market for the right solution to address these needs. Praim ThinOX thin clients with native support of Imprivata OneSign fulfilled all the requirements needed by the Trust, “with this solution from Praim and Imprivata, we are able to deliver secure, personalised desktops at the point of care, via the user’s NHS smartcard.” – said John-Jo Campbell, CIO at St George’s NHS Healthcare Trust.
Thanks to ThinOX flexibility, the IT team from St George’s could configure devices based on clinicians and doctors’ needs. The units were locked down offering users only an access to Imprivata authentication client and few restricted local settings (video, audio, mouse etc.). The Praim/Imprivata allows then their authentication via Active Directory credentials, Smart and Proximity Cards.
St George’s has deployed a total of 3,000 thin clients, with roughly 2,800 active users connecting throughout a 7-day period (approx half of connection on a daily basis) with an overall 38,000 logons per week.
“We look forward to working with Praim in the future and see them as one of our solution partners in terms of delivering our Medical desktop strategy” – said Justin Beardsmore.

Late last night, VMware announced it had acquired Desktone, a company that provides virtual desktops as a service, which (among other things) allows users on mobile platforms to access Windows apps from non-Windows devices.
At first glance, this is a little puzzling given that VMware already has its own technology for doing the same thing. Here’s what VMware is doing.
Both VMware and Desktone play in the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) space. The idea is that instead of offering Windows apps in the traditional way — running locally on a user’s PC — a company will create a number of virtual Windows desktop configurations on a server, then offer them over the network to users as needed. This was originally positioned as a cost benefit: Instead of updating Windows images and apps on a bunch of individual PCs, VDI would let companies take care of updates in a central place. Users would simply see the updated desktop the next time they logged on. In theory, companies could also save on hardware by buying thin client terminals instead of PCs for each user, although they’d still have to pay Microsoft for a Windows license for each user.
Seasoned Thin Client industry veteran, Rich Severson, joins Stratodesk’s team as part of its explosive growth.
Rich Severson is the latest addition to our Sales and Engineering team. As a Senior Solutions Engineer, he will play a key role in driving Stratodesk’s continued global growth. This includes expanding core business and our growing workspace IoT offering.
This is not the first time that Rich has played a pivotal part in transforming the future of a company. In his previous role at NComputing, he helped the Thin Client manufacturing leader and Stratodesk partner become the globally recognized brand that it is today.
It is precisely this experience and expertise in growing Solutions Engineering and Channel Enablement programs that will be so vital in aiding the Stratodesk endpoint revolution.
“Stratodesk is on a ramp up of tremendous growth” says Rich Severson. “This is an opportunity to join a great team and help them expand their global footprint. I look forward to the challenge of helping, partners, channel and OEM integrate Stratodesk solutions for endpoint and enterprise management.”
Rich has been a member of the server based and end user computing industry for more than twenty years. Outside of work, he spends most of his time with his family enjoying the benefits of the exciting music scene in Nashville, TN.
A Pivotal Moment in Stratodesk’s History
Rich has joined at what is truly an exciting time for Stratodesk. As we continue to see unprecedented and sustained growth year over year, it becomes increasingly integral to the core of our business that we add fantastic talent to not only sustain growth, but to have an impact on continued development as well.
Stratodesk’s key business is, and has been for years, PC Repurposing and its flagship product, NoTouch Desktop, the endpoint OS and management solution for VDI, DaaS and IoT endpoints. While both these aspects of the business continue to grow and make new sales records, recent innovations coupled with increasingly complex business needs have driven Stratodesk to do what no other company in our space can.
That is to not only meet the demands of a brave new and technologically advanced work world, but to push it beyond the limits of what was thought possible. These innovations, like the Raspberry Pi based Thin Client powered by Stratodesk software, and our NoTouch IoT platform, have led us to develop a new core business strategy, unlocking new potential for even greater growth opportunities for us and solutions for our customers and partners.
Workspace IoT and the workspace hub
A center driver for this strategy rests in IoT. Billions of devices are expected to be connected to the Internet of Things, and Stratodesk software is the ideal solution for complex enterprise IoT use cases.
The Citrix Ready workspace hub is a prime example of Stratodesk software’s ability for disruption. It brings technological innovation in both VDI and IoT and marries them together into one, powerful solution.
“Imagine a world where everything is connected” says Stratodesk CEO, Emanuel Pirker, “Hospital staff, remote workers and employees simply walk into a room. Lights switch on, computers boot up, and are automatically logged into with all the apps and data workers need. This is already possible, thanks to NoTouch IoTand the Citrix Ready workspace hub.”
Indeed, NoTouch software has already begun to build an IoT ecosystem around itself, with notable additions to the family of products being the Citrix Ready workspace hub, ThinPrint’s ThinPrint Hub, the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, among others.
These products are not only theoretical solutions to IoT use cases – they have a proven, real world track records for going above and beyond what any other endpoint has been able to achieve in terms of cost, time savings, ease of management, and solving everyday business challenges.
New Partnerships Foster Growth
Not only are free trial downloads and product sales for Stratodesk software up, new partners have recently come on board, driving further innovation. These partners include LG and Liquidware, among others, widening the pool of supported and native NoTouch devices and bringing advanced monitoring analytics to NoTouch Center.
“Bringing Stratodesk onboard as a preferred LG software vendor further enhances the capabilities of our most advanced Thin Clients,” says Stephen Hu, head of commercial monitors, LG Business Solutions USA. “And we’re proud that Stratodesk was featuring LG’s All-In-One Thin Client in their Citrix Synergy booth this year.”
“This Integration completes the end-to-end visibility story for organizations that choose NoTouch-based clients and Stratusphere UX,” says Kevin Cooke, Product Director for Stratusphere Solutions at Liquidware. “Visibility to workspace consumption is important when looking to manage expectations and deliver the necessary user experience. We’re excited to bring these metrics and information to Stratodesk customers.”
Extended Reach, Workspace IoT and VMworld 2019
Stratodesk also recently announced our new team member in the UK, showing our commitment to providing the UK with tailored solutions to fit their VDI & DaaS deployments. Additional job opportunities are available within the US – for more on that visit the jobs page on Stratodesk’s website.

VMworld 2015 attendees will have good reason to be excited this year when visiting the 10ZiG Technology booth with the introduction of the industry leading 7800q Thin Client.
10ZiG Technology Partners with AMD, Launching Industry Leading Thin Client Computer at VMworld 2015
10ZiG Technology introduces the all-new, 7800q Series Quad Core Thin Client Computer; available to demo at VMworld 2015, booth #2609, in San Francisco August 30 – September 3.
Leicester, UK – VMworld 2015 attendees will have good reason to be excited this year when visiting the 10ZiG Technology booth with the introduction of the industry leading 7800q Thin Client.
Featuring a lightning fast AMD Steppe Eagle 424 Quad Core 2.4 GHz processor, configurable to 8GB DDR3-1866MHz RAM, optional Quad Video Output and an integrated Smart Card reader, 10ZiG’s new 7800q Series Thin Client computer is poised to redefine the market.
The new 10ZiG 7800q Series is designed to meet the increasing demand within the VDI market to support power users who rely heavily on CAD, 3D graphic design and imaging programs within sectors such as Healthcare, Government and Manufacturing. Such power users also require ultra-high resolution (UHD) support in addition to speed and performance, all of which the 10ZiG 7800q delivers.
Engineered with such users in mind, the new 10ZiG 7800q Series packs a punch and has all the horsepower required to support the latest VDI solutions including VMware Horizon and Citrix XenDesktop, XenApp, while paired with Server based GPU technology such as NVIDIA GRID. This combined technology is able to match full-size dedicated workstations in terms of performance, while maintaining the many virtues of a Thin Client. 10ZiG’s 7800q also features as standard 2x Display Port connectors for supporting ultra-high resolution monitors, including 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 (4K).
To complement the cutting edge hardware performance of the 7800q, 10ZiG will be offering this unit with a variety of customizable Operating Systems including their own PEAKos (Linux), Windows Embedded 7 or 8 and the recently released Microsoft Windows 10 IoT product.
“Through working with users and partners and identifying changes in the types of users and sectors who are now being considered for VDI, we’re recognizing more and more users require higher resolution displays to carry out their work,” says Andy Martin, General Manager, 10ZiG Technology.
“It’s still a common misbelief that Thin Clients provide the same performance to its user regardless of specification, as it’s the server side components of VDI which perform the grunt of the work. However, an increase in users requiring 2560×1600 and even 3840×2160 (4K) resolution support, places a much greater demand on the Thin Client processor. The Thin Client processor is ultimately responsible for decoding this display information in addition to its other tasks. This local processing demand increases with additional resolution and also where screen content changes regularly, such as in multimedia/3D and Imaging use cases. Supplying a Thin Client with the necessary local processing power is essential to the combined success of a VDI deployment,” stated Robert Fitzer, Head of Research and Development, 10ZiG Technology.
“10ZiG Technology looked to AMD to supply the necessary processing power to match these high-end customer demands, therefore we are extremely excited to partner with AMD to be first to market in introducing a Thin Client with features that open up an entirely new market to Thin Client computing which was only previously serviceable by full size PC’s,” confirmed Robert Fitzer.
“The technology partnership with 10ZiG is a prime example of our thin client strategy. It’s a case in point of how we’re working with our customers to push the boundaries of end-user computing within the VDI embedded marketplace,” said Ralph Gonzalez, senior marketing manager, AMD Embedded Solutions. “As Thin Client technology advances, the benefits of switching from standard PCs to Thin Clients will become increasingly more apparent. With this device users get performance and a full range of functionality, powered by the AMD G-Series Embedded SoC.”
The news of 10ZiG’s new 7800q Series comes on the heels of their recent announcement of their powerful, new web-based Centralized Utility Management software which will also be on display at VMworld 2015.

NVIDIA GRID 2.0 Comes To Dell Blade Platform With Amulet Hotkey’s Dell M630 Blade Based DXM-M6 vGPU Blade
Enterprises Can Now Deploy Scalable, Graphics-Accelerated Virtualized Workflows Using GRID 2.0 on Amulet Hotkey OEM-Customized Dell Blade Platform
SAN FRANCISCO – Aug 31, 2015– VMworld 2015 – Amulet Hotkey announced today the launch of the world’s first NVIDIA GRID™ vGPU™ capable Dell Blade, allowing enterprises to experience the full benefit of remote access to rich graphics applications using VMware Horizon 6 and vSphere® 6 with the new NVIDIA GRID 2.0.
The new platform will be generally available in late October with evaluation units available immediately.
Early customer feedback has shown that NVIDIA GRID vGPU with VMware Horizon 6, built on vSphere, enhances desktop virtualization with immersive graphics, greater security for mission-critical data, scalable performance and cost-effectiveness.
Among the benefits of enterprise graphics virtualization with VMware Horizon 6 and vSphere:
Ability for enterprises to virtualize workflows for designers, architects and engineers to run the most advanced, graphics-rich applications from anywhere on any device with the new NVIDIA GRID 2.0 solution.
Flexibility for IT departments to support as many as 16 users on GPU-powered applications on a single industry-leading blade server.
Cost-effective virtualized graphics for workers who don’t require maximum GPU performance but whose applications benefit from GPU acceleration.
Support for end users to run immersive, graphics-rich Windows 2D, 3D and media-rich graphics applications on essentially any device through the use of VMware Horizon 6. This brings workstation-class performance to remote and mobile workers, even over high-latency networks.
“The lack of rich 3D graphics on virtual desktops was a barrier to some organizations as the user experience was less than satisfactory. NVIDIA GRID 2.0 removes this barrier and effectively enables IT managers to virtualize a whole new class of users,” said Phil Blades, Chief Marketing Officer at Amulet Hotkey. “NVIDIA GRID 2.0 with VMware Horizon and vSphere allows the market to expand for virtualization and accelerate enterprise adoption of desktop virtualization in 2015.”
“Enterprise virtualization is transforming traditional enterprise desktops and applications, and our collaboration with Amulet Hotkey extends the transformation to high-end workstations and applications so organizations can benefit from the mobile cloud era,” said Joyce Mullen, VP/General Manager GLOBAL OEM Solutions at Dell. “Specialized industries such as design agencies, automotive companies and architecture firms will be able to embrace business mobility to help retain talent, control costs and compete in the 21st century.”
“By bringing a great computing experience to users, NVIDIA and Amulet Hotkey are expanding the possibilities for enterprise-wide workflow virtualization,” said Andrew Cresci, General Manager of the NVIDIA GRID business at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA GRID 2.0 delivers the best graphics performance to an industry leading virtualization platform on the Amulet Hotkey M630 DXM-M6 blade server.”
Wide Benefit for Enterprises
These new graphics virtualization capabilities are expected to have widespread impact.
NVIDIA is the world leader in visual computing, with more than 12 million professional users and 300 professional applications certified and accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs. NVIDIA GRID 2.0-based blade servers are sold and supported by Dell through its OEM partnership with Amulet Hotkey. Amulet Hotkey is the world’s largest custom engineering partner for the Dell blade platform. VMware is the leader in virtualization, with more than 500,000 customers worldwide.
Amulet Hotkey’s early access program included a range of enterprise and public-sector customers. Among them are a law enforcement agency, a defense and aerospace systems provider, a global banking firm and an oilfield services company.
Positive Customer Reaction
“Our testing shows the Amulet Hotkey Dell PowerEdge M630 blade fitted with the DXM-M6 NVIDIA GRID 2.0 and VMware Horizon View on vSphere has been incredibly positive “said Ron Nash, CEO of Pivot3. “By layering our software onto Amulet Hotkey’s blade-based solutions, we are able to bring mission critical virtualized graphics to a scale-up-scale-out platform that can support many types of powers users from a single unified platform.”
Visitors attending VMworld USA (Moscone Center, San Francisco, Aug 30 – Sep 3) can visit Booth #2434 to see the new NVIDIA GRID 2.0 blade and vGPU capabilities and use cases. The Amulet Hotkey technical and leadership team will be delighted to see you.
Technology Brief
The Dell M630 blade is the 13th generation of the Dell blade platform and offers dual processor servers with Intel’s latest generation of Xeon processors and up to 768GB of DDR4 memory. The Dell M1000e blade chassis can accommodate 16 M630 blades in 10u of rack space. Theoretical maximum density for the M630 combined with the Amulet Hotkey DMX-M6 (powered by GRID 2.0) indicates that a single M1000e chassis can accommodate 256 graphics users in a virtualised environment (VDI). This means that one rack could accommodate 1,024 vGPU graphics users and we believe this is an industry leading combination.
To Keep Current on Amulet Hotkey CoreStation™ Solutions and PCoIP Blade technology:

Managing PC estates is a time-consuming, expensive and thankless task. Better provisioning and management tools can obviously help, but implementing one or more of the various forms of desktop virtualisation available nowadays may also be beneficial.
The virtualisation option, and particularly the use of hardware-based thin clients in that context, was the subject of a recent Reg reader survey. From this we learned that over their many years of existence, thin client devices have found their place in many environments.
Relevant types of users and use cases called out in relation to this (in respondents’ own words) include:

Reading, UK. 15th February 2016 – With a major hardware update, IGEL Technology is improving the performance of its UD3 thin and IZ3 zero clients. The IGEL devices will feature an AMD quad core processor from the Embedded G range (codename “Steppe Eagle”) with 1.2 – 1.6 GHz that will offer even more efficient access to virtual desktops and applications from Citrix, VMware and Microsoft. The new CPU will be backed by 2GB of DDR3L RAM memory for demanding multitask applications. The IGEL UD3’s slim housing will remain unchanged, apart from one new addition – a rear DisplayPort will enable users to work with high-resolution 4K displays. Together with proven features such as Dualview, USB 3.0 and an approximate 50% reduction in power consumption, IGEL is offering its customers more thin client for the same money.
The IGEL UD3 has been an established part of the IGEL hardware portfolio since 2009. During this time, the range has been constantly updated to provide the very best thin client user experience. With the latest update, IGEL is taking into account the growing demands now being placed on thin clients.

The UD3 will now come with a DisplayPort as well as a DVI-I connection, enabling efficient work on two monitors – even in the high-resolution 4k format with 4,096 x 2,160 pixels (DisplayPort) and a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 (DVI). Alternatively, the supplied DVI-VGA adapter allows analog monitors to be easily used. For even quicker, more convenient data transfer, there is a further USB 3.0 port on the front side of the device in addition to the four USB ports on the rear side (3 x USB 2.0, 1 x USB 3.0).
Sound basis for the IGEL managed workspace
As always, the sector-leading IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) remote management software comes supplied with every device and allows standardized, secure remote administration as well as a quick rollout. All IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients, zero clients and software thin clients converted using the standardization software (UDC2) can be managed in the same manner. Windows 7 clients with the Unified Management Agent (UMA) installed on them fit just as seamlessly into the market-leading management solution. The overall package gives customers the unique opportunity to manage heterogeneous IT landscapes from different manufacturers and brands in a centralized, cost-effective VDI workspace management system.
