Title: How do I create a mobile thin client?
1- How do I create a mobile thin client?
Thin clients are most commonly known as
stationary end devices which connect the user to
a centralized IT environment or externally hosted
applications and desktops. To date, mobile thin
clients have not become so well established.
However, this could change soon.
2- Limitations of notebook thin clients
- The notebook thin clients previously available
from specific manufacturers are produced in small
numbers, making them relatively expensive. Up
until now, the choice of mobile thin clients
available has therefore been limited. The fact
that mobile thin clients are normally not
available with different keyboard layouts is a
problem for international firms in particular.
This goes against most businesses' desire for
client standardization.
3Alternative to notebook thin clients
Since individual manufacturers began offering
their operating system for thin clients
independently of hardware, entirely new
possibilities for potential users of mobile thin
clients have arisen. Now, even notebook platforms
which are typically supplied with Windows 7 or
Windows 8.1 can be converted into a mobile thin
client. If such a device is to operate
satisfactorily, the optional or subsequently
installed thin client OS must also support all
necessary hardware functions. These are, in
particular, battery management including battery
level indicator, advanced graphics modes and WLAN
support.
4Converting notebooks into mobile thin clients
On the operating system side, notebooks can be
standardized very easily with the help of
software tools such as the IGEL Universal Desktop
Converter 2 (UDC2). The UDC2 installs the
widespread IGEL Linuxthin client operating system
on virtually any hardware with the x86
architecture. As the installation medium, IGEL
supplies USB tokens which contain not only the
software itself but also the ordered licenses.
Installation on the notebook takes place via
booting from a USB token, DVD or USB stick. For
network-based installation of the thin clients,
IGEL provides the UDC Deployment Appliance. To
save time, the licenses are then distributed from
the USB token via the IGEL UMS server.
5Tailor-made mobile thin clients
Owing to the lean IGEL Linux thin client
operating system, the hardware requirements for
the IGEL UDC2 are remarkably low. An SSD with 4
GB and 1 GB RAM are all that is needed. In view
of this fact, not only needs-based but also very
low-cost mobile thin clients can be created.
These meet many different requirements and can
also be remote managed in a standardized manner.
