New lower-priced SafeBook model includes aircard access, and enhanced security features
King of Prussia, PA, June 27, 2007 - Devon IT, the fastest growing provider of thin client terminals, today announced the availability of a new SafeBook thin client notebook model equipped with its enhanced terminal operating system that enables desktop and Internet access through a wide range of protocols. The SafeBook was launched in October, 2006, to give users the mobility of a laptop computer with the added benefits of advanced security and lower total cost of ownership.
The new SafeBook model, starting at $599, has no hard drive, and all applications run securely from servers in companies' data centers. Authorized users gain remote access through Citrix ICA or Microsoft RDP protocols. Two of the major features added to the SafeBook are 802.11 wireless and 3G aircard support, as well as built-in 802.11 a/b/g wireless adapters with support for WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK encryptions. It also includes a PCMCIA slot that can host 3G aircards for pervasive network access.
"Since SafeBook was launched in the fall it has been our hottest product, proving that server-based computing can support all aspects of business," says Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. "Our clients continue to thrive with the security, manageability, and lower total cost of ownership benefits realized by implementing thin clients in enterprise IT environments. We are excited to launch our innovative new SafeBook model at the most affordable price on the market, and to continue to expand the use of the server-based computing model."
