VMworld
2015 attendees will have good reason to be excited this year when
visiting the 10ZiG Technology booth with the introduction of the
industry leading 7800q Thin Client.
Featuring
a lightning fast AMD Steppe Eagle 424 Quad Core 2.4 GHz processor,
configurable to 8GB DDR3-1866MHz RAM, optional Quad Video Output and an
integrated Smart Card reader, 10ZiG's new 7800q Series Thin Client
computer is poised to redefine the market.
The
new 10ZiG 7800q Series is designed to meet the increasing demand within
the VDI market to support power users who rely heavily on CAD, 3D
graphic design and imaging programs within sectors such as Healthcare,
Government and Manufacturing. Such power users also require ultra-high
resolution (UHD) support in addition to speed and performance, all of
which the 10ZiG 7800q delivers.
Engineered
with such users in mind, the new 10ZiG 7800q Series packs a punch and
has all the horsepower required to support the latest VDI solutions
including VMware Horizon and Citrix XenDesktop, XenApp, while paired
with Server based GPU technology such as NVIDIA GRID. This combined
technology is able to match full-size dedicated workstations in terms of
performance, while maintaining the many virtues of a Thin Client.
10ZiG's 7800q also features as standard 2x Display Port connectors for
supporting ultra-high resolution monitors, including 2560x1600 and
3840x2160 (4K).
To
complement the cutting edge hardware performance of the 7800q, 10ZiG
will be offering this unit with a variety of customizable Operating
Systems including their own PEAKos (Linux), Windows Embedded 7 or 8 and
the recently released Microsoft Windows 10 IoT product.
"Through
working with users and partners and identifying changes in the types of
users and sectors who are now being considered for VDI, we're
recognizing more and more users require higher resolution displays to
carry out their work," says Andy Martin, General Manager, 10ZiG
Technology.
"It's
still a common misbelief that Thin Clients provide the same performance
to its user regardless of specification, as it's the server side
components of VDI which perform the grunt of the work. However, an
increase in users requiring 2560x1600 and even 3840x2160 (4K) resolution
support, places a much greater demand on the Thin Client processor. The
Thin Client processor is ultimately responsible for decoding this
display information in addition to its other tasks. This local
processing demand increases with additional resolution and also where
screen content changes regularly, such as in multimedia/3D and Imaging
use cases. Supplying a Thin Client with the necessary local processing
power is essential to the combined success of a VDI deployment," stated
Robert Fitzer, Head of Research and Development, 10ZiG Technology.
"10ZiG
Technology looked to AMD to supply the necessary processing power to
match these high-end customer demands, therefore we are extremely
excited to partner with AMD to be first to market in introducing a Thin
Client with features that open up an entirely new market to Thin Client
computing which was only previously serviceable by full size PC's,"
confirmed Robert Fitzer.
"The
technology partnership with 10ZiG is a prime example of our thin client
strategy. It's a case in point of how we're working with our customers
to push the boundaries of end-user computing within the VDI embedded
marketplace," said Ralph Gonzalez, senior marketing manager, AMD
Embedded Solutions. "As Thin Client technology advances, the benefits of
switching from standard PCs to Thin Clients will become increasingly
more apparent. With this device users get performance and a full range
of functionality, powered by the AMD G-Series Embedded SoC."
The
news of 10ZiG's new 7800q Series comes on the heels of their recent
announcement of their powerful, new web-based Centralized Utility
Management software which will also be on display at VMworld 2015.
