Should You Buy New Hardware For Thin Client Terminal Services Or Repurpose Old Pcs?

The beauty of thin client terminal services is you can recycle

. You can use old desktop PCs that are rendered obsolete by the requirements of new software and hardware components and repurpose them as your virtual desktop. Whether you choose to buy new hardware or using old netbooks, notebooks or PCs, when you migrate your system from the traditional fat client to the much lighter thin client service you are sure to save on cost.

Client specific

Theres really no rule that says you have to purchase a new VMware thin client because ultimately, your decision would depend on the goals of the business. You have to seriously consider shifting to the thin client when you are already having trouble managing your end devices (PCs, netbooks, etc.) with viruses and malwares, unproductive employees, high electricity costs, maintenance and repair as well as the frequent upgrading of systems to cope with the ever changing technology.

Longer lifecycle

One of the arguments in favor of buying a new RDP thin client is its longer lifecycle. A typical desktop will start to decline after a year and will need replacement after three years. Maybe you can still use it for five years but that would already be pushing it, particularly if you are already spending so much for repairs when it bogs down every so often. You will not only pay for the technician but also have to compute the cost of lost productivity as a result of the defective equipment. Its not like you can order your workers to go home and forget about their salaries for the day because there are no computers that they can use.

Easily a new VMware thin client will last six years and in that span of time you save about 30% of energy easily. Some zero clients even claim zero maintenance costs because the system has already been reduced to the most basic of functions. The less parts there are, the less chance of encountering any malfunction.

Testing the waters

But you dont have to migrate your system to the thin client right away. One solution is to run both your existing fat client and end-user devices with the thin client service. This type of set up can be comfortably adopted for about three years so you can spread the cost of investment of your Thin client terminal services. In that period, you would already have saved enough money to make the transition from your traditional workstation to the thin client that much easier. Your existing system can be converted through the solutions offered by IGEL Technology it calls the Universal Desktop Converter. This makes use of a CD-ROM or USB supplied with the UDC software or through Microsoft Windows.
