Operational costs related to ICT infrastructure have been known to eat into the bulk of organizational ICT
budgets especially where desktops are concerned. Other challenges like security in line with corporate
intellectual property, deployment of various applications and set up of users have also further increased
the complexities of managing the desktop environment.
Kingfin through its select partnership with Fujitsu has a desktop virtualization solution that will cut down
your operational costs significantly while increasing data security and making it much easier to manage
users in a more stable and flexible platform.
Virtualization has transformed the way businesses manage their servers and storage. Now it is time to
bring the same benefits of lean IT to your office desktops and mobile users. Instead of the complexity and
cost of managing fully equipped clients on every desk, each with its own processor, memory, and
applications, your enterprise can now deliver IT power to office users with unimagined ease â through the
Fujitsu Zero Client infrastructure.
This silent, space-saving device delivers a complete desktop experience, securely and reliably, at a
fraction of the normal cost. As the name suggests, it goes beyond traditional fat or thin client technology
and comes without any of the usual hardware at all. In the office, all the intelligence the Zero Client needs
is integrated into a single monitor. For mobile users, everything is on a USB stick that simply plugs into
the PC. Business applications, storage, and operating system are delivered from powerful backend
servers. With the familiar desktop environment staying just the same, there is no perceptible difference for
users. Except, of course, for the extra freedom from local backup and recovery tasks.
Zero Administration and Roll-Out Costs
For your IT staff, a Zero Client means less administration, with significant savings of both time and
money. Rather than installing software updates, administrators make a single central installation, then
simply activate it for all the virtual systems. You also build total consistency into your IT environment,
with the certainty that your users are always working with the latest software refreshes. The Zero
Client itself requires virtually no setup. Delivering genuine plug-and-play capability, it is ready to run
instantly, reducing the time horizon for across-the-company rollouts of desktop clients from weeks to
just days.

2. Ultimate Security
Quite apart from the administrative benefits, a Zero Client infrastructure also raises security
standards. It reduces your exposure to data loss and theft, not to mention virus attack, simply by
eliminating vulnerable desktops. With everything stored centrally on your servers, there is less chance
of enterprise data or systems being compromised. That makes your IT environment a more secure place
to run your business.
Life Cycle Efficiency
Hardware redundancy is a major expense for companies, a substantial chunk of workload for IT
managers, and frustration for users. With a Zero Client-based solution, you avoid the cost of replacing
hardware. The Zero Client has no effect on the speed and responsiveness of desktop environments.
Should you need more performance, you simply upgrade the server backend â making it far easier for
your IT to evolve in line with the needs of the business and its strategy.
Mobile Zero Client
With the mobile Zero Client, users can access their personal virtual desktops anywhere. Everything is
on a plug-and-play USB stick. All it takes is a PC with an Internet connection, and people can work
securely with all their data at any location. Easy to install, the mobile Zero Client brings the amenities
of desktop virtualization to any PC, enables you to protect investment in existing IT hardware, and also
gives employees the opportunity to use privately owned systems for business purposes.
Productivity for Professional Applications
The Zero Client is designed with a host of features to make office life more productive. The LED-
backlight screen, for example, is a whole lot easier on the eyes of busy office professionals. Yet
despite the benefits of centralized computing power, this is no one-sizefits- all desktop. Users can
attach whatever peripheral devices they need to suit the job in hand. And, when people need to view
huge amounts of information at once, it is possible simply to plug in a second screen via the integrated
multi-monitoring port. This makes workflows more efficient â ideal for applications such as multiple
data feeds in banking â and raises user productivity. If this sounds like just more cable clutter on the
desktop, think again: the Zero Client includes Power over Ethernet, meaning it is powered directly via
the network cable and needs no separate power cord. Voice over IP is also possible, for PC-based
telephony: this makes the new Zero Client a better-than-ever solution.
