LONDON, May 7, 2003 -- HP (NYSE:HPQ) today announced the first all-HP engineered thin client -- HP Compaq thin client t5700.
Ideal for call centers, medical environments, financial services and any industry where access to centralized applications and a desktop-like experience is required, HP Compaq thin client t5700s are small, solid-state devices that connect to current or legacy networks and drive local displays. Because all data is stored on the server and there are no local drives or moving parts, t5700s are easier to manage and offer enterprise customers greater reliability and security with dramatically lower computing costs.
“HP engineering expertise has allowed us to bring powerful, desktop-like performance and world class manageability to customers seeking an affordable enterprise-quality, thin client solution,” said George Sebastian, Product Manager, Managed Desktops, Personal Systems Group. “The HP thin client t5700 helps maximize security and lower ownership costs through reliable and consistent products that are easy to purchase, deploy and manage in dynamic enterprise environments.”
The flexible t5700 takes just minutes to set up, and global deployment capabilities provide the fastest and least expensive path to upgrade users to the latest applications. Available in legacy configurations for adaptability to most any IT environment, the t5700 features the Microsoft® Windows® XP Embedded operating system for enterprise customers requiring expanded hardware and application support.
The t5700 brings industry leading desktop features and performance to the thin client environment with eight megabytes of dedicated graphics memory, a one gigahertz processor, and up to 512 megabytes DDR SDRAM flash memory, for the power to drive graphics demanding and multi-media features, found in enterprise environments. Four USB ports are available on legacy configuration for wireless, security and a variety of external storage options such as disk on key, CD-ROM drive, floppy and hard drive. Additional flexibility is delivered through the optional PCI slot to support a variety of internal wireless and other requirements.
Available immediately, HP thin clients are priced starting at £336. More information about HP thin clients is available at http://www.hp.com/country/us/eng/prodserv/desktops.html.
