NEW YORK----Today at the SIFMA's 27th annual Technology Management Conference &
Exhibit, Devon IT displayed its new TC10 desktop access device as part
of the IBM HC10 Workstation Blade Solution. The new workstation blade
solution is applicable to a wide range of centralized enterprise desktop
applications from single monitor systems for mainstream knowledge
workers to multi-monitor systems for high-end power users.
At the SIFMA show in New York, a wide array of financial applications
will be demonstrated on the client workstation blade solution at IBM’s
exhibit booth 4114. This new blade-based solution from IBM and Devon
IT will be ideal for traders in financial services who find themselves
traditionally surrounded by several workstations generating heat and
noise. By moving desktop and applications to blade servers designed to
more efficiently dissipate heat, and utilizing a desktop device with no
spinning hard drives for storage or fans needed to dissipate heat, the
energy consumed desk side can be reduced by up to 90 percent.
"Prior to the desktop PC boom 25 years ago, desktop client computing was
hosted by networks of connected servers. By the 1990s PCs became
connected and played a driving force in server and networking
advancements," said Doug Balog, vice president, IBM. "Today, new
advances in servers and networking is helping to enable efficient
hosting of complex client environments on servers allowing centralized
management and security under the control of the datacenter. With its
highly efficient design, IBM BladeCenter has arrived as the ideal
platform for server-hosted client computing."
"IBM is clearly the leader in Blade computing technologies, and this
technology offers unique, breakthrough and leading-edge remote display
and graphics acceleration,” noted Joe Makoid,
President, Devon IT. “Our partnership with IBM
has enabled us to offer a solution with a true workstation experience
with rich graphics. This enables the new workstation blade solution from
IBM and Devon IT to drastically improve the quality of image delivered
at a remote desktop as well as the performance and speed of the process."
The TC10 is the highest performance desktop access device in the world.
It is the first desktop access device that gives the end user a true PC
experience with instant screen updates, full multimedia support, and
full USB compatibility. It connects to IBM’s
HC10 Workstation Blade using PC over IP PCoIP from Teradici
Corporation, a technology that changes the desktop computing model by
enabling desktop consolidation benefits to be realized across the
enterprise. Unlike a traditional RDP thin client, the TC10 is for
demanding users that require real time PC-like capability such as
financial traders and power users such as CAD engineers.
