Samsung Unveils Thin- and Zero-Client Cloud Displays
Samsung today announced its next-generation TC191W and TC241W
thin-client and NC191 and NC241 zero-client cloud displays.
The latest lines combine VDI and desktop virtualization for simple
and secure access to a business cloud.
Both the TC-and NC-Series cloud displays provide integrated connectivity to business clouds via desktop virtualization technology, therefore eliminating the need for a bulky PC with excessive IT administration costs.
Certified for optimal use with VMware View, the NC
Series displays have built-in access technology using the latest
Teradici Tera2 chipset technology. The NC-Series also features SoC
(System-on-Chip) technology, which reduces the desktop attack
surface while nearly completely eliminating the need for
client-side administration.
The TC-Series cloud displays are thin clients with a wide range of desktop virtualization access components built-in, allowing users to connect to a variety of hosted cloud environments. From a familiar Windows interface, users can toggle between published Citrix applications, access a virtual desktop from their VMware server, or login to a corporate HR site from the local IE web browser. With Windows Embedded Standard 7 (WES 7) pre-installed, users get the simplicity of a thin client with PC-like utility.
Functionality is expanded by allowing administrators to add local software requisites to drive peripherals like web cams or printers, and to install local utilities needed for unified communications. With all of this flexibility users can still retain the simplicity of a traditional thin client. Since the primary purpose of TC-Series display is cloud access, the software image has been streamlined to reduce client-side administration. And the write filtering software can secure endpoints in a read-only state with just a click of a button.
Both the TC- and NC-Series cloud displays are available in 19- and 23.6-inch models.
An 170-degree viewing angle along with a 90-degree pivot function and Samsung's Magic Angle technology allows for easy viewing of the screen. Both cloud displays also have advanced encoding and decoding for processing multimedia content and high quality images practical for graphic design (CAD) and 3D rendering.
Tactile selection and function buttons are also incorporated into the design, making it easy to adjust settings and power the display on and off. A single button press can power off the display and server connection.
The new TC-Series thin-client (TC191W and TC241W) and NC-Series zero-client cloud access displays (NC191 and NC241) can be ordered today starting around $477 (actual prices may vary).
