CBR Virtualisation: SMBs Can Cut IT Costs In Half With Thin Computing

The study, conducted by Lancaster University and Thinspace, a British vendor of thin computing solutions, shows that thin computing can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) in any company with over six employees by well over 50%.


“SMBs can half the cost of their IT infrastructure by switching to a thin client model, according to research carried out by Lancaster University and Thinspace.

The TCO study reveals that any company with more than six employees can reduce maintenance costs by 71%, hardware and capex by 61% and energy by 51% when compared to traditional PCs.”
