This chapter introduces the main features of AXEL Thin Clients.
1.1 - ULTRA THIN CLIENT TECHNOLOGY
The main benefits of "Ultra Thin Client" technology are:
No Operating System
The innovative Ultra Thin Client technology from Axel uses ALL the hardware
resources for specific thin-client functions and not simply to host an operating
system. These functions are:
• Screen refresh/resolution performance
• High robustness and availability
• No memory fragmentation
• Totally virus proof
• Instant boot
No Embedded Applications
Embedded applications in a terminal are a source of problems, consider the
following:
• Application of regular security upgrades and patches
• Support and tracking of successive versions of applications
• After an upgrade more memory may be required to run new version
• Integrity of functionality: ie two ‘identical’ terminals may behave very
differently depending on installed applications and their versions.
