Thinware

Organisations need to consider the environmental impact of everything they do. At the same time new legislation continues to drive towards increased recycling and reuse

At Icon Computer Services we realise that our customers would like to be able to take advantage of new technologies that are greener, smarter, more secure and better value for money without having to compromise on performance or significantly changing working procedures.

To promote the use of such technologies we have developed a concept we call Thinware. Thinware is the integration of smart technologies, including Thin Client computing and Virtualisation, to both reduce the amount of raw materials required to initially build your IT infrastructure, as well as reducing carbon emissions by requiring significantly less power consumption on a daily basis.

In addition to these environmental benefits the overall cost of ownership is lowered due to the longer life-cycle of Thin Client products and the reduced power requirements, and security is increased by centralising data and providing enhanced management of user access.

Icon Computer Services offers a full consultancy and installation service for all aspects of Thin Client and Virtualisation technologies.

Tips to Go-Green

Many environmental initiatives have sound business benefits - from paper recycling schemes that can help to dissuade users from printing unnecessary documents to the use of emerging technologies that can both significantly reduce energy consumption and reduce investment in hardware.

Often, the business case for green technologies is made on a cost basis and any environmental benefit it is a fortunate side-effect.

Implementing a few of the suggestions below could help your business to reduce operating costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Reduce power and cooling needs by implementing thin-technologies such as Thin Client and using Virtualisation to consolidate Server and Storage requirements.

Reduce energy consumption further by using energy efficient computers and peripheral hardware. For example, Thin Client terminals can be programmed to power-off at night and then automatically power on again at a specified time the following morning.

Reduce travel costs and the related greenhouse gas emissions by investing in Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, IP-conferencing and secure remote network access.

Thin Client terminals need fewer raw materials to manufacture than a traditional desktop PC, and have a longer life-cycle, so incorporating Thin Client terminals into your IT infrastructure makes sound financial sense as well as protecting the environment.
