Virtualization in an Industrial Environment (Part 2)
This is the second in a three part article focusing on the entire process of Virtualizing in an industrial environment. While there is a lot of talk about Virtualizing and VDI, we wanted to focus on the viability and deployment of Virtualization in an industrial and manufacturing environment which would speak to the concerns and difficulties specific to this industry.
Part 2: How Much Virtualization is Needed?
In Part 1 of this series, we discussed the need to centralize computer resources before considering whether or not to virtualize them. The vast majority of ThinManager customers use Remote Desktop Services (formerly Terminal Services) as their Centralization solution. One reason for this is that RDS is included with every Windows Server installation, so there are fewer initial costs incurred when centralizing.

Part 1: Centralization Before Virtualization
Virtualization.
It is everywhere and there is no escaping it. It is written about, discussed, recommended, and deployed in offices and facilities around the world every day. It is the iPhone of IT…you might not know why you are buying it, you just know that everyone else is using it so it must be the next great thing. But as implementation of virtualized environments continues to become the norm rather than the exception, industry publications are reporting that up to 40% of Virtualization deployments are never completed and eventually scrapped.

USB to VGA
ThinManager now allows you to convert a single monitor thin client to a multi monitor thin client By purchasing a 3rd party adaptor (DL 195 Chipset), you can now convert a single monitor thin client to a dual monitor thin client. Not only is it an inexpensive upgrade, butit also eliminates the need to purchase new thin clients to take advantage of MultiMonitor and MultiSession technology offered by ThinManager.
An added advantage of this feature is that our ThinManager software will prevent a user from expanding their multiple windows to an unusable size. ThinManager will review your hardware and determine a maximum size and resolution based on how many sessions you are attempting to monitor at the same time with your current hardware configuration.
