Wyse Thin Computing Reduces Desktop Energy Costs Tenfold
Friday, 23 June 2006 by Michel Roth
Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced new green computing research, which demonstrates how organizations can cut desktop energy costs tenfold by deploying thin-computing architectures. While the average traditional desktop guzzles over 80 watts of electricity, Wyse thin clients use about 7 watts -- or 8 watts with overhead from the central server included.

The result is significant cost savings for a customer, which further lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) for thin computing architectures. Many companies and countries around the world are recognizing the importance of energy savings at the workplace.

Because thin computing requires significantly fewer electricity resources, thin computing also helps bridge the digital divide. The Wyse S50 thin computer plays a key role as the ultra low power computer for Inveneo's Communication System, which offers computing, telephony, and Internet access for development and government organizations operating in remote and rural areas around the world.

"Organizations that provide vital education, healthcare, and economic development services in rural and remote communities face significant challenges with computing and communications due to unreliable or unavailable access to power and communications infrastructure," said Laura Mellow, Chief Operations Officer at Inveneo. "The Wyse thin client provides critical computing capabilities while consuming very little power enabling virtually any local renewable power source such as solar, micro-hydro, or wind to be used to operate Inveneo's Communications System, greatly improving availability and sustainability through lower operating costs."
