Climate Change Will Drive Increased Demand for Low Energy Thin Client Computing

LONDON, September 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- New 2X ThinClientServer 5 Makes Business IT Greener, More Secure and
Cost Efficient

2X Ltd, developer of thin client computing software, is
pleased to announce the release of 2X ThinClientServer version 5. Building on
the success of 2X ThinClientServer 4, this latest version includes important
new features enhancing the performance and functionality of its popular thin
client OS and management system. 2X envisages that thin clients are to become
a vital component, as the demand for manageable, low energy consuming and
affordable IT infrastructure explodes.

Thin clients consume up to 50 percent less electricity

According to researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, British
businesses could save GBP78 million ($154 million U.S.) in electricity and
cut CO2 emissions by 485,000 tons a year by choosing thin clients instead of
PCs.

"Thin client computing is the only solution for effective IT energy, cost
and administration management. With 2X ThinClientServer 5, companies can
familiarize themselves with the technology and prepare for the deployment of
thin clients," says John Haskins, GM, 2X Software USA.

How 2X ThinClientServer works

2X ThinClientServer deploys a small footprint Linux-based OS to popular
thin client devices (VXL, HP, Neoware, Wyse, Maxspeed and more) and to old or
new low energy PCs. Thin clients always boot the latest version of the OS
from the ThinClientServer. Hardware & connection settings (including
resolution, logging and more) are retrieved from the server when the client
logs on, making thin clients easy to manage.
