IT Budgets are tightening in all corporate environments. Pro|Edge thin clients offer a low-cost, efficient solution for endpoint computing. Compared to standard PC’s, Pro|Edge lowers the total cost of ownership by requiring less IT management resources and power consumption. By implementing Pro|Edge thin clients, corporations are not only experiencing easier endpoint management, but are finding that these solid state systems are highly reliable. In addition, Pro|Edge is a green solution that helps reduce energy cost as well as precious natural resources.

Why Corporations are Using Pro|Edge Thin Clients

• As a closed system, IT managers can prevent Pro|Edge end users from making changes to their configuration settings, eliminating time spent reconfiguring individual computers. Because there are no disk drives, applications and data are stored at a central location on a server, helping to prevent unwanted viruses and unwanted applications. IT Managers can even remotely disable access to any USB mass storage devices attached to Pro|Edge thin clients. Pro|Edge Saves time by being secure.

• By eliminating moving components like hard drives, processor fans, and power supply fans, Pro|Edge thin clients significantly lower potential points of failure, thus increasing the reliability of the entire computing infrastructure and decreasing overall IT maintenance costs.

• Pro|Edge thin clients consume 1/16th the power of traditional PCs, providing additional savings.

Why Legacy System Customers Rely on I-O Products

I-O’s printer interfaces, display stations and remote controllers are valuable connectivity devices for connection to IBM System i and System z servers.  For corporate installations, the compatibility, ease of use and reliability of I-O products ensures that little or no down time occurs.  To users, this allows them to handle their mission critical, yet day-to-day functions effectively and economically.  To see all of I-O’s IBM Legacy Systems Printing and Connectivity Products, click here.
