"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," explained Dr. Tom Bradicich, IBM Fellow & Vice President,
Systems Technology, System x and BladeCenter Servers. "This podcast
clearly discusses how new advances in server hosted desktops are taking
this trend full circle --- back to efficient hosting of complex client
environments on servers, with centralized management and security under
control in the datacenter.”
“The discussion is very rich in detail about
the current state of the thin client market, but also outlines recent
advancements on hosted desktop computing,”
says Paul Mancini, Vice President, Marketing. “Listeners
are also fortunate to get a brief glimpse into upcoming advancements.”
