We use Wyse as well. I like the Enterprise Manager. But, compared to other models, Wyse is pretty expensive (we use V90 Win embedded models). They work well in our training room, where staff cannot tinker or "play" with them. We provide application access via the Citrix Web Portal.
>>> "Joe Heaton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/14/2008 11:36 AM >>> Wyse makes great thin clients, but most of the manufacturers are getting in the game now. Other things to consider are: 1) Are you going true thin clients, and pushing the desktop to the device, or going more of a mid-client, and pushing specific apps. 2) Do you already have Citrix, or some other app to do the pushing? 3) What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the thin clients? Is there another way of doing it without going thin clients? If you’re going for cost savings, you’re not really going to see much. The typical thin client is about what you can get a decent business desktop. You may save a few bucks per machine, but if you don’t already have the backend stuff, then you won’t see a real cost savings, at least not right off. Joe Heaton Employment Training Panel From:Glen Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 8:27 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Thin clients We have been asked to investigate using thin clients for some stations. Initially, maybe 10 or so but if it goes well, who knows, maybe 100 or more. Any reading or other resources that anyone care to point me to? Also, any suggestions as to what vendors/technology to look at and to avoid. Thanks. Glen.
