WiFi thin clients set to change the face of IT in South Africa
8 September 2004
Computer/Embedded Technology
Durban-based company, Uniterm, has launched its latest thin client, Iota, with WiFi capability. Angelo Borros, MD of Uniterm, enhanced the existing thin client, the Iota with the very latest WiFi technology.
What this means is that one is not bound by messy cables and the costs involved installing new cables. The Iota thin client can be set up in hard-to-reach locations so that the entire business area can be covered with no extra effort or cost, says Borros. There is also the option of using the Iota as a regular thin client, an access point, a bridge or even a firewall. For companies running partly on a legacy system and moving to a new network, WiFi gives the option of having Iota on two networks, he adds.
The Iota thin client is a powerful network computer designed to connect seamlessly to both Linux and Windows servers. It also provides traditional terminal connections to legacy Telnet, IBM 5250 and IBM 3270 main frames. This provides IT managers maintaining Windows server the flexibility of migrating to Linux-based servers. The Iota is described as a fast, intelligent, versatile wafer-thin mini computer that fits into the desktop environment with low noise levels, low levels of emission and its wireless.
Uniterm, a 'Proudly South African' company, says that it has successfully released its new Iota in various IT sectors in southern Africa and in Europe. These include government departments, universities, technikons, cinema theatre, textile industry, steel industry, pharmaceutical industry, hospitals and retail stores.
