Desktop Energy Consumption: A Comparison of Thin Clients and PCs

Tags:
desktop systems - pcs

Overview In these times of economic uncertainty, businesses need to think about how to maximize profits - not just by increasing sales, but also by minimizing costs wherever possible. A major cost of running a business in the modern economy comes from supporting a business' Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. With thousands of computers, hundreds of servers, dozens of software applications, the energy to power the computers and a fulltime IT staff to keep things running, businesses spend millions of dollars on IT each year. Probably the most well-known and expensive part of this infrastructure is the Personal Computer (PC). Over the past ten years, PCs have become an essential part of business. People need computers to do their jobs, plain and simple.
