The PC used for comparison was the Dell Optiplex 740. In addition to saving companies in ongoing power consumption costs, thin client devices have a number of additional energy saving benefits when compared to traditional PCs. Because they have no moving parts, such as disc drives or fans, and emit very little heat, organisations also save in cooling costs; actual savings vary based on facility. Producing thin clients also requires significantly less energy and resources, as they contain fewer parts; are cheaper to transport because they are approximately 40 percent lighter; and last 50 percent longer, greatly reducing computer disposal costs. "We have seen an increase in companies of all sizes turning to thin client technology to achieve greater energy and cost savings," said Klaus Besier, president and CEO of Neoware. "Without moving parts, such as a fan or disk drive, Neoware's thin clients help companies meet their sustainability targets by eliminating much of the overhead associated with computing. We look forward to helping companies 'go green' and achieve their environmental initiatives." About Neoware Neoware, Inc.
