King of Prussia, PA, August 21, 2007 – Devon IT, the fastest growing provider of thin client terminals in the world, today announced the availability of a podcast entitled, “The State of the Thin Client Industry.” Devon IT President Joe Makoid discusses the imminent growth of the alternative desktop computing market – projected to be 189 million units worldwide by 2009 (Gartner, 2006) – the recent acquisition of Neoware by HP and its implications, and Devon IT’s relationship with IBM, including the companies’ development of the recently announced IBM HC10 Workstation blade solution.
The ten-minute podcast can be downloaded at here. It is also available on iTunes (Link will launch iTunes application).
"Prior to the desktop PC boom 25 years ago, desktop client computing was hosted by networks of connected servers. By the 1990s PCs became connected and played a driving force in server and networking advancements," explained Dr. Tom Bradicich, IBM Fellow & Vice President, Systems Technology, System x and BladeCenter Servers. "This podcast clearly discusses how new advances in server hosted desktops are taking this trend full circle --- back to efficient hosting of complex client environments on servers, with centralized management and security under control in the datacenter.”
“The discussion is very rich in detail about the current state of the thin client market, but also outlines recent advancements on hosted desktop computing,” says Paul Mancini, Vice President, Marketing. “Listeners are also fortunate to get a brief glimpse into upcoming advancements.”
