I-O Corporation Releases White Paper Detailing “Green” Advantages of Thin Client Computing

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As business leaders are increasingly aware, “going green” is becoming less of an option and more of a necessity. To help explain how thin client computing can become an integral component to a business’ green IT initiative, I-O Corporation (I-O) announced the release of a white paper titled, “Think Thin to Go Green.” The white paper provides an in-depth look at how thin client computing provides an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional PCs.

“When compared to traditional PCs, thin clients consume less power, are easier to manage and require less maintenance,” said Matt Brady, I-O’s President and CEO. “When all these benefits are coupled with the fact that thin clients can help a company reduce its ecological footprint, it’s clear why thin clients are experiencing staggering growth.”

As detailed in the paper, I-O conducted a study comparing the power consumption of its ProEdge thin clients to PCs. The results showed that PCs consumed 16X more energy than ProEdge thin clients.

Other topics discussed in the white paper include the following:

* The basics of thin client computing architecture
* Advantages of thin client computing
* Power savings and cost savings generated from ProEdge thin clients vs. PCs
* CO2 emissions saved by switching to thin clients
* How to determine if thin client computing is the right fit for your IT environment
* The future of thin client computing

Also included in the white paper is a case study detailing how Weber County Library system incorporated ProEdge thin clients as part of its new LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) library building.

“Many business leaders believe environmentally friendly alternatives will compromise productivity,” said Brady. “However, I-O’s new white paper dismisses this belief by detailing how thin client computing can provide companies with a green IT solution while contributing to their bottom line.”
