King of Prussia, PA- February 23, 2009 – Devon IT today announced its new line of thin client solutions orderable with IBM part numbers.  Devon has worked directly with IBM to launch this complete line of thin client solutions that complements IBM’s Virtual Client Solutions (VCS) infrastructure.

“We are committed to providing industry-leading and cost-effective thin client technology for users,” explained Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. “When a market and technology leader like IBM is progressing thin client/hosted client architecture and collaborate with leaders such as Citrix and VMware it is obvious that the current approach to desktop computing is shifting. We have always been proponents of server-centric computing and centralized management as a way for IT managers to reduce costs dramatically. Devon Thin Clients provide IBM customers an easy and cost-effective way to order complete hosted desktop solutions from one source.”

The shift to virtualization of the desktop is something that can bring real benefits in terms of support costs and in ‘time to deployment’. The example I always like to use is that with the virtual desktop, the desktop follows you, not the user following the desktop. That to move an end user from one desk to another might costs hundreds of pounds as we have to physically move and re-patch the desktop, or the time it takes to request a ‘new’ pc from the helpdesk. That I can dynamically provision and scale up the desktop infrastructure to meet the business need can not only transform the user experience, it can transform the way we do business. I wonder if we’ll the blade trader pc, the blade desktop be deployed in line with those trading desk upgrades, and at the same time what range of technologies we’ll use with this new hardware. Do we have a virtual pc hosted on a blade desktop, or a blade desktop which we can re-deploy and re-provision on demand?
