Introduction to DISKLESS PC
How to beat the high cost of computing
Users want:Simplicity and ease of use
Access to data and applications
High performance
• IT managers want:– Flexibility– Easy administration and
management– Less failures– “Bulletproof” security– Compatibility with future
environments– Scalability
“Corporate” wants: Competitive advantage Increased productivity Lower costs Return on investment
Disadvantages of using Conventional PC model.
◦ Higher price◦ Costly administration◦ Difficult to manage
Hard to deploy applications
◦ Lower reliability / useful life “Planned obsolescence”
◦ High power consumption◦ Inherently insecure
Viruses Data / application theft, “tampering”
◦ Grow more complex over time
What is a DISKLESS PC?
• A server-based computing solution.
• Does not “run” applications locally.
• No hard disk required on each node.
• Run latest software with blazing speed even on 486 systems.
What is server-based computing?
•All data is stored on the server
•All applications are deployed, supported, and executed at the server, not the desktop
Only keystrokes, mouse clicks, and GUI info travel across the network (or the Internet)
User Desktop
•All applications running from server are displayed at the desktop
The best of everythingThe best of everything•Low Total Cost of Ownership• Easy administration•Applications and data are centrally managed•Nodes are centrally managed•Easy to deploy applications•Easy to troubleshoot problems• High reliability / long life
•Low power consumption •High security and control over users.•Access to Windows applications
•Thousands of off-the-shelf applications•Ability to run multiple session
•Very flexible
The best of everythingThe best of everything
Everything is managed at the central server
Faster and easier application deployment and upgradeBetter software version consistencyLess hardware to maintainLess IT staff required to support more end usersMore freedom for users to move around / roam Less downtime
Increased end user productivityFaster customer responsivenessIncreased customer satisfaction
• Requires less IT staff/time• Remote Setup & administration• Backup at the server• Data Uniformity/Security• Application deployment overnight & centralized• Uses a fraction of the electricity of a PC
