 Thin Clients
Reduce TCO by reducing the number of support calls and the need for emergency patching
Thin clients are widely deployed in a distributed model with core applications running centrally and distributed nodes or branch offices offering client application usage at the end points. The thin clients deployed as these end points include point of sale or point of care or point of operation and service systems running business critical applications.
"Our customers depend on our leading thin client systems for centralizing information access across the IT infrastructure, and working with Solidcore will help ensure our systems are not compromised by any unauthorized software changes."

Often, these systems are not compliant to the central IT’s software change or security policies. Emergency patching and anti-virus are not effective due to high costs. Rebooting is not an option as they keep getting re-infected and leads to unavailability. This results in unauthorized, unwanted, out of policy software changes, either by an individual or via a security attack, leading to business risk causing outage, loss of integrity of operations, non-compliance and audit weaknesses.
"Solidcore’s S3 Control product is a powerful addition to Wyse Secure Thin Client Initiative and adds value to customers by delivering change control and security that doesn’t rely on regular downloads of updates or patches."

Solidcore’s S3 Control - Embedded for Thin Clients
Solidcore helps in providing control over the software installed and running on the thin clients. It helps reduce support costs by reducing the number of service desk calls. It keeps the systems secure and in a known good state. It eliminates emergency patching and reduces the frequency and number of patching cycles and enables IT administrators to have more testing time before patching. S3 Control helps enforce central IT’s software change policy ensuring only authorized software is installed and running with low operational overhead.
