Imagine that you are in charge of a manufacturing facility with 90 workers. Every single worker needs a computer to run their part of the supply chain. Each worker is a different height and the facility itself is dusty, warm, and on hot days will have fans running to cool the floor. There aren’t a whole lot of electrical outlets which makes plugging in a monitor and computer a frustrating concept.

ClearCube’s CD7522, CD9522, and CD9552 zero clients were selected as secure endpoints for the VDI Zero Client category under the 2021 CCS-2 QEB Program.

VDI didn’t change the Internet, it changed the way we are using it. Traveling with a laptop has never been easier. Remote access to corporate resources has never been easier and businesses can save millions on infrastructure with one VDI installation. By simply purchasing or deploying a virtual desktop environment (VDI), end users are able to work anywhere and anytime; this innovative technology improves productivity while dramatically decreasing IT red tape.

Forgetting a password happens to the best of us — but getting back into your ClearCube PCoIP Zero Client is a simple and secure process. In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to recover access if you’ve lost or forgotten your administrative password.

Coping with technology and security breaches in a constantly evolving business landscape requires organizations to manage their IT infrastructure more easily, efficiently, and securely. Taking this into account, the world where office work is almost always performed at a desk, via a company-issued laptop or computer, is rapidly declining. The availability of newer, more portable devices, coupled with the near-ubiquity of Internet access, enables remote work. Employees are increasingly accessing applications remotely as a service, either from the enterprise data center or from multiple cloud providers.

COVID-19 has made it necessary for organizations to develop remote work strategies, transitioning many employees to work from home. Of course, this has led to a rise in connectivity and productivity challenges, not to mention social distancing which is by no means easy for industries built around person-to-person interactions. So, how can smart cloud solutions ensure businesses will succeed in the long run?

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure hosts a desktop instance on a centralized server in a data center that users can access over a secure network with an endpoint. There are many devices to choose from, including Thin Client solutions, Zero Clients, laptops, tablets, and so on. This simplified desktop management platform offers users an isolated environment in which they can log into their virtual machines (VMs) anywhere, anytime, and on any client device. The benefits are clear:

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology facilitates remote access to desktops hosted inside virtual machines (VMs) that live on servers in secure data centers. Users access desktops using Powerful Remote Connection endpoints, such as Thin Clients and Zero Clients, while benefiting from a true PC-like experience. For an accounting enterprise, is it worth transitioning from a conventional desktop environment to virtualization? Will it receive all VDI business benefits, including secure and high-performance digital premises, centralized IT management, reduced costs, and business agility?

The personal computer market started with the invention of machines such as MITS Altair, Apple II, and IBM PC. Many contributions soon followed, including tablets, laptops, workstations, and servers which gained immense popularity. Today, several computers are designed in compact form factors, and there is more preference for mini PCs than giant towers.

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an evolving technology and many businesses are still familiarizing themselves with the concept of operating a hosted desktop. The process centralizes IT management as virtualization separates the servers into virtualized desktops, allowing users to access them remotely through practically any device. The role of management software is important here as it oversees virtual machines (VMs) that host the virtual desktops. This answers the question ‘what is VDI and how it works,’ which users often ask on the Internet.

Are you new to the world of computing or well-versed in everything IT? Either way, you have probably come across these big names in the industry: Citrix, VMware, and Microsoft. All three are credited with impressive contributions to technology, and their profiles stand out in different ways. Let’s have a look.

‘Cloud’ is referred to as technology that stores information and programs over the Internet instead of a computer’s hard drive. It comes with standard resources such as compute, storage, and networking that an application requires to deliver a complete user experience. The term cloud computing covers hosted services that are divided into three basic categories; Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
