• On-Premises Thin Client Deployments

You are growing your team. But wasting time and money on a fleet of laptops and licences!

Buying, securing, and replacing laptops is a financial drain for a mid-size company trying to scale. A new hire means dropping $1,500 on a machine. If someone spills coffee on a keyboard, you lose a day of productivity. If an employee quits, you have to wipe the machine and hope no company data walked out the door with them.

The “new laptop” treadmill is exhausting, expensive, and completely unnecessary.

  • the goal

Low maintenance, work anywhere workstations.

We replace fleets of fragile laptops with inexpensive low-cost thin clients powered by a robust local server. Onboard staff instantly, allow remote working and hot-desking, while keeping  your data secure.

  • What should we worry about?

If thin clients are so much cheaper, why isn’t everyone doing it?

Moving away from standard PCs sounds intimidating. Here are the the questions our client’s ask

“What’s a thin client?”

It looks like a small “hard drive” that sits on each desk. But it isn’t a storage drive, and it has no local software. The tiny terminal redirects your screen, keyboard and mouse to view your personal workspace on a secure, central server. Wherever you log in, your desktop is exactly how you left it.

“What if the main server dies?”

Because all your eggs are in one basket, we don’t build a basket. We build a vault. We install enterprise-grade, redundant servers. Then every night (or more often if you prefer) we back up the entire virtual environment using air-gapped disaster recovery automation.

“What if our internet goes down?”

Line outages are the fatal flaw of cloud-based systems. But because we put the virtual server physically in your office, your team keeps working at Gigabit speeds even if a flood or fire or blizzard cuts you off from the world. It’s perfect for rural locations and mission critical environments.

“We can’t risk breaking our business.”

Absolutely! We don’t expect you to rip out all your computers on day one. We start with an assessment, and ensure it makes ROI. Then we pilot with a few users to prove it works flawlessly before you commit further.

  • the RISKS

You need flexibility, but BOTH the standard options are broken.

  • The Laptop Trap

Buying $1,500 laptops for every employee. They break, they get stolen, they require individual antivirus, and patching them disrupts your team’s workday.

  • The “Cloud Desktop” Trap

Go browser-based!  It looks great until you get the massive monthly usage bill. And the moment your office internet drops, your entire company is paralyzed.

Our Way: We can build, install, and remotely manage a robust local virtual server and indestructible thin clients for your team. You get blazing-fast, localized performance, and we act as your invisible IT department managing it 100% behind the scenes.

  • The GOAL

Here’s how it feels to use a THIN CLIENT DAY-TO-DAY

Who benefits most from thin clients with a virtual server on their premises?  –> 

For your company, it means lower maintenance costs, higher security and the ability to scale up and down quickly.

For your staff, it’s friendly. They  don’t have to learn new processes or change how they work. They have more flexibility about where they can work, and work-from-home is built in.

1. RURAL OPERATIONS & REGIONAL HUBS

If your facility is at the end of a long, unreliable rural internet line, an on-premises virtual server is the answer. Your thin clients are hardwired directly to the core. If a storm, flood or fire knocks out your lines your staff can continue processing orders  and running the business on the local network.

2. MANUFACTURING, WAREHOUSING & CNC

When you are running factory-floor ERP systems, barcode scanners, or CNC machines, you cannot afford “cloud lag.” A two-second delay on a cloud server slows down your entire production line. An on-premises server delivers instant, zero-latency Gigabit speeds to the shop floor. Furthermore, thin clients have no moving fans, making them completely immune to the dust and debris that destroy standard PCs.

3. YOU NEED RAPID SCALING

Buying 15 brand-new, expensive laptops for a temporary office is a massive waste of capital. A single local server and 15 cheap thin clients has you up and running. When the project is over, the data is secure, and the hardware is easily redeployed.

4. HIGH STAFF TURNOVER

Would shared “hot desks” work for you? Thin clients are the ultimate security tool here. If a disgruntled employee walks off with a thin client, they have stolen a useless $300 plastic box. Zero passwords, zero files, and zero company data are stored on the device itself.

5. STRICT DATA SOVEREIGNTY

Law firms, defense contractors, indigenous territories and specialized healthcare providers often face strict regulations about where data is physically stored. But you don’t lose flexibility, teams can log in from anywhere.

6. REMOTE ACCESS

Offer our staff and partners remote access without the risk. Your team can securely log in via the internet, accessing their desktop without a single confidential file ever being downloaded to their home computer.

The BOTTOM Line

Why smart companies are pulling their infrastructure back in-house.

  • Immunity to Regional Outages
  • True business continuity
  • Zero “cloud lag” for big files like CAD.
  • Working with industrial CNC machines
  • Sensitive IP or Data
