Zero Clients require an Ethernet connection to a central server hosting software applications which users can access wirelessly or with cable. These devices send and receive computation requests via a network and only facilitate access to the applications available to them from the data center server. Decoding and display processes occur on dedicated hardware because of which these endpoints need minimal configuration and they boot up rapidly. Software updates for a Zero Client are few and far between and it consumes very little energy during full operation.
Experts and Trusted Leaders in Secure Endpoints
Zero Clients
The term “zero client” is often used and misunderstood and sometimes misapplied. Originally, true zero clients had essentially zero memory and storage and required essentially zero ongoing maintenance and IT management. Newer varieties open additional flexibility for users and IT, and the latest generation allows endpoints to be incorporated into a Zero Trust architecture.
ClearCube
Zero Clients
ClearCube zero clients are the trusted, go-to zero clients for the military, top government agencies, operations centers, and corporations. We build and sell every genuine type of zero client, from the traditional chip-based to flexible, software-driven to the latest generation built for Zero Trust architecture environments. We break them down clearly in the sections below, and our team of experts is ready to help you understand the options that will work best for you.

Explore Our Traditional Zero Clients (TERA2)
Ultra-long-life devices and easiest-to-manage.
These are the original zero clients. They utilize the TERA2 chip, allowing them to send encrypted pixels rather than actual data packets to and from the zero client to the host computer. The TERA2 chip allows this to happen on a device that has no accessible OS, memory, or storage. This provides trusted data protection, even if the device is tampered with or stolen. TERA2 chip zero clients are limited to a single connection and only operate with PCoIP as the protocol. These devices are famously reliable and easy for IT to manage.
Key Attributes:
- Uses PCoIP
- Compatible with VMWare Horizon through v8.x
- Compatible with VMCan connect to a Remote Workstation Card (RWC—“host card”) or to HP Anyware softwareWare Horizon through v8.x
- Not compatible with VMWare Blast or Citrix
- TAA-Compliant
Group 1: Fiber or Copper SFP Network
Models in this group come with either a fiber or copper SFP network connection
Group 2: Copper Network
These models in this group have dedicated copper network connections
Explore Our Zero+ Clients
Multi-Protocol, including VMWare, Citrix, PCoIP
We designed and built these devices for customers who need protocol flexibility but want more security than a standard thin client computer. Zero+ Clients® give IT the ability to lock the device down as much as desired or to open the device to allow for multiple connections and multiple protocols. Unlike some competitor models, our Zero+ Clients® do not need to be re-flashed to be repurposed or assigned a restricted connection on a new protocol. Our Zero+ Clients® work with VMWare (including Blast), Citrix, Leostream, Nutanix, and others. OS options include Windows, Stratodesk, Linux, and IGEL. Zero+ Clients® give IT the ultimate in flexibility, allowing you to buy “future-proof” devices. Our Zero+ Clients® are also compatible with ClearCube accessories that further increase the utility and functionality of these devices.
Key Attributes:
- Can be managed to fit your security profile or opened up for device and user flexibility
- Soldered down components for protection against tampering and theft
- Protocol flexibility
- OS flexibility
- Easy to repurpose
- SFP network adaptor allows for either copper or fiber connection
- Optional CAC reader

Explore Our Trusted Zero Clients
Latest Generation Zero Client Built for Zero Trust
Zero Trust architecture requires Zero Trust endpoints. Our new Trusted Zero Clients were designed and built to give you all the features and functionalities of a zero client in a Zero Trust architecture. These devices are given a birth certificate at the time of manufacture, ensuring they fully comply with Zero Trust requirements. Their configuration is captured in a snapshot, and HP’s Trust Center software continuously monitors the device for any changes or non-compliance.
If it ever fails one of these repeating validations, the device can be locked out of making a connection until IT can investigate. Trusted Zero clients can work with HP Anyware, VMWare Horizon (native support) and Blast, Leostream, Nutanix, and KVM. ClearCube has been deeply involved in the testing of the setup, configuration, and operation of Trusted Zero Clients with the Trust Center software. We are experts in this new technology, and we are best-equipped to help you understand and begin testing—or using—these new Zero Trust endpoints.
In addition, we have three demo setups to choose from, allowing you to pick the easiest or the most customized way to begin testing Trusted Zero Clients.
Key Attributes:
- The latest generation of PCoIP technology
- Enhanced graphics capabilities with PCoIP Ultra
- Designed for Zero Trust architecture
- Free device management software (DMS) included
- SFP adaptor for copper or fiber network connection
- Optional CAC reader
Additional Zero Client Information
How Do Zero Clients Work?
VMware Ready PCoIP Zero Clients work by serving as a secure terminal connection to a remote PC. That remote PC can be a centralized machine, a virtualized machine, or a cloud desktop instance. Each zero client can only connect to a single connection point (computer), and it cannot be rebooted or otherwise redirected to a different connection. This is because the connection destination is locked in the BIOS. If a zero client were ever removed from the work location, it would become an unconnectable device with no locally stored, usable data. This is an important security attribute of zero clients.
A tremendously important security feature of VMware Ready PCoIP Zero Clients is that they do not send or receive data. Instead, zero clients receive and send only individually encrypted (256-bit) pixels. This means that the data remain secured in your data center or in the cloud. There is no data that can be intercepted between the zero client and the host computer. When security is paramount, a zero client is the best endpoint.
Zero clients offer fantastic user experience even with their ultra-secure operation. End users will enjoy high definition, multi-monitor display and crisp responsiveness with no lagging.
The secure connection between a zero client and the host computer is established using PCoIP technology. Zero clients can connect natively (directly) to a physical host card, to VMWare running Windows OS, or to Amazon Workspaces. Zero clients can connect to other VDI stacks, cloud platforms, or physical computers using HP Anyware software.
