Company partners with provider of Thin Desktop software to simplify deployment of virtual desktops.
10ZiG Technology (formerly BOSaNOVA, Inc.), a market leader in development of thin clients and network appliances has announced that it has teamed up with ThinLaunch Software to offer Thin Desktop to convert aging PCs into thin clients.
Thin Desktop simplifies the deployment of virtual desktops by turning old Windows PCs into locked down thin client devices. This allows customers to leverage their existing infrastructure while benefiting from a standard user interface, centralized management and increased security. Installation is simple and in future releases can be deployed through the 10ZiG Manager which will be packaged with the Thin Desktop software.
Benefits include:
- Leverage current investment in PCs by converting them to thin clients
- Increase productivity by eliminating non-work related computer usage
- Easier to maintain lessening the burden on support staff
- Standard user interface to manage all desktops centrally
“One of the biggest barriers to the adoption of desktop virtualization is the cost of implementation. Thin Desktop lessens that burden by allowing customers to preserve their current investment in PCs, while still benefiting from the advantages of thin clients including centralized management and increased security,” says Martin Pladgeman, 10ZiG Technology president.
“Thin Desktop is the result of feedback from a wide variety of customers with very diverse use cases and requirements. A common thread is the desire to adopt virtual desktop technologies while preserving investments in existing hardware, infrastructure and skill sets—with a clear path for future hardware and virtualization options,” said ThinLaunch Software general manager, Mike Cardinal. “Customer environments with both PC and Thin Client devices will coexist for the foreseeable future. 10ZiG is clearly in the forefront when it comes to assisting customers with the adoption of virtual desktop client devices.”
Thin Desktop is available for purchase through 10ZiG’s resellers for $25/user. For a 30-day trial or for more information contact 10ZiG toll-free at (866) 865-5250, send e-mail to
