QuickOn for Windows: pc.ibm.com IBM Network Station Accessories & Upgrades QuickOn for Running Windows QuickOn for Running Windows is a flash-card-based product made available by the IBM Network Computer Division that adds a new wrinkle to the Network Station family. It let's customers local-boot a Network Station Series 300 directly into a full-screen Citrix MetaFrame or WinFrame environment and gain fast access to Windows applications running on the server. There's no need need to boot the Network Station over a Wide Area Network -- which can be time-consuming -- or install a local boot server. QuickOn for Running Windows includes all the software you need for dedicated Windows access -- including the Network Station kernel and the Citrix ICA client -- ready to run. Because it places everything in the flash card, there's no need for any other boot or management software, and almost no time needed for installation or configuration. Best of all, just one Network Station Series 300 with QuickOn for Running Windows can "buddy boot" approximately ten more Network Stations, so an entire workgroup can be up and running in minutes! QuickOn for Running Windows is primarily intended for customers that require access only to Windows applications, but it is also ideal for those who may later want to take advantage of the full Network Station capability by removing the flash card and booting instead from Network Station Manager. QuickOn for Running Windows ... a smart way to get the best of what thin clients and Windows have to offer. And one more example of the extraordinary versatility for which the IBM Network Station has long been known. QuickOn for Running Windows highlights: Works exclusively with the IBM Network Station Series 300 Includes a self-contained, 8MB linear flash card pre-loaded with the Network Station kernel and the ICA client configured for local booting One flash card can "buddy boot" approximately ten other Network Stations Supports servers running Citrix MetaFrame 1.0/1.8 (Windows NT 4.0 environment) and WinFrame 1.7/1.8 (Windows NT 3.51 environment) Boots to a MetaFrame/WinFrame logon screen in as little as 28 seconds Far simpler to implement than a "do-it-yourself" flash card solution Makes it simple to switch Network Station from Windows-only capability to full thin-client Estimated flash card price: under $100 Available now from your IBM Business Partner
