You’re growing your team. And suddenly your managing a fleet of laptops with licences and updates!
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.
With an average replacement price of CA$1 500.
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.
Thinking of moving some staff away from laptops? Here are questions our client’s ask
“What does a thin client? cost?”
A thin client terminal looks like a small “hard drive” with a standard mouse, keyboard and monitor. It connects to a secure, local server. Wherever you log in, work or home, your desktop and workspace is exactly how you left it.
“What if the main server dies?”
We install enterprise-grade, redundant servers, and these are monitored live by our Support Teams. Every night (or more often if you prefer) we back up the entire virtual environment. Backups are air-gapped and automated.
“What if our internet goes down?”
Line outages are the fatal flaw of cloud software. But because your server is physically in your office, internet access isn’t essential. It’s ideal for rural and remote environments
“We can’t risk breaking our business.”
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.
You need flexibility, but BOTH the standard options are broken.
Each employee has a laptop – they can work from anywhere! The latest version of the document is who knows where. They break, get stolen, and need individual software licences. Things stop working with each Windows update.
Go browser-based! It looks great until you get the massive monthly usage bill. The software is less powerful than the desktop version and it’s S-L-O-W. And the moment your office internet drops, your entire company is paralyzed.
We build, install, and remotely manage robust virtual servers and thin clients for your team. Get blazing-fast, localized performance, fully managed.
WHAT KIND OF COMPANY BENEFITS MOST FROM THIN CLIENTS ON THEIR PREMISES?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
