T-systems-Sounds like Mobikey, I hopeCebit 2008: T-Systems slims down PC workstations – Services delivered dynamically from the network – On the go with a USB stick – Up to 30 percent cost savings
Frankfurt am Main, January 30, 2008
T-Systems is unveiling the network-based workstation, the first of its kind, at this year’s CeBIT. Unlike a fully equipped PC, it allows employees to use thin clients that receive data, software and even a personalized interface from an ICT provider's data center. Companies can save up to 30 percent more than with conventional desktops. Gartner analysts are calling this virtualization of the IT infrastructure one of the ten most important technology strategies.
T-Systems operates, services and maintains all hardware and software from a central location. The ICT provider sets up thin clients in offices for a monthly fixed rate. This allows companies to save on the cost of administration, service and maintenance for desktop computers. Customers pay all services – such as software and hardware use – at the end of a billing period, according to use. And there is a further bonus, for the environment: Thin clients run on a mere quarter of the electricity that conventional PCs use.
Take the office on the road
With a mobile solution, the office even fits into your shirt pocket: A special USB stick allows secure access to your personal interface and to all programs, using any terminal that connects to the Internet anywhere in the world. To do this, a user logs in to a secure Internet connection (a virtual private network) at the central system. And no data tracks remain on the host PC after it is used. Because the stick also supports voice over IP (VoIP), employees can be reached at home or on the road using their office number. What's more, they can even phone abroad for the low online rate.
T-Systems also provides updates for thin clients and the USB stick, along with anti-virus software and protection against worms or spyware, all from a central location. Companies can also receive services on request such as secure data rooms, mailboxes, secure Web surfing or additional memory, all payable according to usage.
T-Systems will demonstrate these solutions live from March 4 - 9 in Hanover, Germany under the topic “Working World of the Future”. Visit Deutsche Telekom's CeBIT stand in Hall 26, A01.
