The vCloudPoint zero client (also called ultra-thin client) contains no moving parts but only the necessary hardware & firmware to initialize a conversation with the network, begin network protocol processes, and display desktop output. It centralizes all software, processing, and management to just what is running on the host, leaving little more than a keyboard, mouse, and monitor at a user’s desk. As a result, it requires no driver to install, no patch management, and no local operating system licensing fees or updates. The device consumes very little power and is tamper-resistant and completely incapable of storing any data locally, providing a more secure endpoint.
