KCS Thin Client - A Brief Introduction
[Don't throw away your old Hardware, turn them to Highly Efficient ThinClients]
=> Run P1 @ speed of P4
=> Run New Software on Old Hardware
=> Run Windows NT/2000/2003, DOS & Linux without HARD-DISK.
Introducing KCS ThinClient, a ready to install ThinClient.
(now you don't need to buy new hardware to run new software, RUN NEW SOFTWARE ON OLD HARDWARE)
.........................................................................
Key Features:
The Hardware:
One ThinClient Card (Preconfigured 100 mbps Card with BootROM)
The Software:
To be installed on a normal win2k/win2k3/linux server.
Booting Time:
The node boots itself to win2k/win2k3/linux terminal in nearly 40-50 seconds. (Quite fast isn't it. )
Supported O/S:
This client supports win2k/win2k3/linux. (and Full Screen DOS)
Local device support :
Floppy, CDROM, Printers can be installed and shared over the network.
.........................................................................
Cost Benefits :
Hard-disk, Floppy or CDROM is NOT required.
Save your Rs. 3500/-
Low Hardware required at the Node end.
Save your Rs. 5000/- to 13000/-
No UPS required on each node
Save your Rs. 2300/-
The node will never require an upgrade.
Save your Rs.....in years to come.
Nodes are future Proof.
.........................................................................
Very low maintenance required.
Since no moving parts contained on node.
No virus problem.
Since, hard-disk is installed only on one machine.
No disk problem (since no hard-disk)
You don't require keeping driver CDs of all the Hardware on the nodes.
The ThinClient card detects all the hardware, it is all automatic.
Very, very low down-time.
Since no moving parts contained on node.
If a node with hard-disk fails, it might require atleast 3-6 hours to get it started again.
A diskless node might take just 5-10 mins.
Even if you give another node to the user, no special settings will be required.
as in case of hard-disk, it is required to make all the changes
.........................................................................
Easy Configuration/Maintenance:
The clients come with extensive installation / operation manuals.
GUI based installation program, very easy, only few steps.

Just install the Client software on the server, and the node boots up.
No settings required on the node.
No need to make any client side configuration, Its all plug-n-play, and the client will detect all the hardware and install it accordingly.
You can have nodes of variety of configuration. Different hardware for different nodes.
The node configuration parameters are controlled from the server side. Like Monitor Display, mouse type, printer on node, FDD on node, CD-ROM on node
.........................................................................
User cannot change/manipulate node configuration files from the node.
Get perfectly stable and reliable nodes, which can work for years without having any problems
If there is any problem on the node,
Re-install the client software, and the node will start working normally.
