VDI Remote Client Solutions

 

Anyone using HPs flavor for remote clients.  We are looking at the low end model for connectivity and wanted to see how to set one up.

I have a few resellers that love HP Thin Clients, and swear that they are faster than other manufacturer's to power on and connect.  The others that I've used a lot are Comupter Labs (CLI) and Wyse.

Hi Steve,

 

 

Have you looked at Wyse (especially the V10) they are good value for money and might give you more features.

Re: VDI Remote Client Solutions

 

We've tested a t5135 (HP Thin OS) and 6720t (XPe) with VDM, Leostream, and Provisionnetworks VAS.  We've only had much success with the 6720, the 5135 should worth with VAS and Leostream but it acts buggy and doesnt always connect. 

 

 

We also bought a t5735 (Debian Linux) just to try it out, out of the box it doesn't have software for connecting to any of the connection brokers we've tried.

 

 

All of them work great if you aren't planning on using a connection broker.

Re: VDI Remote Client Solutions

 

well bearing in mind that HP recently bought Neoware,  I would question the statement about faster.  I have seen no evidence about that. 

 

 

My personal favourites at the moment are the Wyse S class models.  they have some nice little extra features.
