Gartner Group offers mixed review of ThinPC based on cost FT-20-0296 Martin Gilliland Gartner FirstTake 13 May 2003 Compare Costs and Benefits Before Choosing Neoware’s ThinPC Neoware’s new ThinPC lets you convert old PCs into thin clients at a fraction of the cost of buying new thin clients. But the costs involved may not be justified in all cases. Event: On 6 May 2003, Neoware announced a new software product, ThinPC, that transforms outdated PCs into thin clients for $99 each. First Take: ThinPC lets you lock down hardware access to standard PCs (fat clients) with minimal keystrokes. You can thus turn fat clients into thin clients while maintaining two advantages of a true thinclient / server-based computing network — increased security and reduced administration costs. Enterprises tend to lose these advantages when they reuse old PCs as thin clients. Perhaps 70 percent to 80 percent of thin clients connected to a server-based computing network are rehashed PCs, not true thin clients. In the fast-growing thin-client hardware market, Neoware competes with the leader, Wyse, and other vendors such as Hewlett-Packard and Network Computing Devices. All of these vendors seek to counter the practice of revamping old PCs and turning them into thin-client-like devices. The promotional price of $99 for ThinPC seems expensive since you could reuse your old PCs as thin clients with no extra software cost. Yet ThinPC costs much less than replacing PCs with true thin clients (although their price is trending down). If you need the increased security and reduced administration costs that ThinPC can provide, its $99 price offers a reasonable alternative. Before considering ThinPC, therefore, determine whether the $99 is justified. If you don’t need the extra security and can save only minimally on administration costs, you may not want to add ThinPC to an old PC loaded with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol or the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture client.
