  1. Telecomputing Thin-client Market Analysis 2004 April 20, 2004

  2. Chapter 1 – About the evaluation 2

  3. Who made the tests? • One of the world leaders in Thin-client technologies – Telecomputing from Sweden. • Doing the most in-depth thin-client market review and testing for the second time. Primary customer is the Swedish Government. • 8 Leading thin-client vendors participated this year • Over 25 different products that were tested. 3

  4. Who Participated? • HP • Igel • Chip PC • Wyse • Neoware • Network • Thintune • VXL • Tested Categories: • CE .NET Thin-clients • Linux Thin-Clients • XP embedded Thin-clients • Thin-client management suites • PC client management solutions 1 4

  5. What was tested? • Local Settings functionality • Local Desktop functionality • Local browser functionality • Extended RDP and ICA local functionality • Performance in RDP and ICA • Reliability stability and recovery • Image modularity – upgrading, growth potential • Remote management functionality • Pricing, support, warranty, training & documentation 5

  6. Evaluation Fundamental Assumptions: • Remote management functionality is by far the most important consideration • Hardware performance and functionality is not significant. Only under-performed devices were strongly affected. • Price is not critical (all similar anyway) • Equal heavy weight for ICA and RDP • Significant weight for in-service upgrade and recovery • Local desktop becomes an important aspect • Local browser and media player received medium weight (though portal usage has higher value) 6

  7. How it was tested? Evaluation Functional Category Weighted Results Relative weight Results (Points) 7

  8. Evaluation Relative Weights 8

  9. How it was tested? Weighted Points Specific Feature Description Total Points Relative Weight of specific Feature Management Points (Local only = 0, Image = 4, Script = 6, GUI = 8) Points (0=N/A, 5=Exists) 9

  10. Chapter 2 – Evaluation Results 10

  11. ICA and RDP Results 11

  12. Local Browser & Multimedia Results 12

  13. Terminal Emulations and Unix Results 13

  14. Local Desktop Results 14

  15. S/W Deployment & Recovery Results 15

  16. Price, Warranty, Support and Documentation Results 16

  17. Street Price Comparison 17

  18. Extended Functionality Results 18

  19. Performance & Physical Results 19

  20. TC Performance Grouping Average Benchmark for TC local performance compared to P4 MHz The pure RISC Group Xtreme PC EX5600 The Hot PC Group Xtreme PC EX5400 The x86 RISC Group VIA 800 MHz – 1 GHz Xtreme PC EX5000 Transmeta 1 GHz Transmeta 533MHz 500 1G The “Historic” 486 Group Xtreme PC EL RISC National Geode 300 MHz 1.5G P4 MHz Performance Scale 20

  21. First Generation – Geode Based • Low Cost • Widely used, field proven, first TC processor • Very low performance (486 - 200 MHz level) Winbench, FP and Integer • Overheat – short life • End-of-life CPU – No roadmap. National out of this business. • “Not recommended for new designs” 21

  22. Hardware Expansion Results 22

  23. Final Report Total Points 23

  24. Management Suite Results 24

  25. Industry Roadmap Perspective • 3rd Generation • Full AD support • Policy based • Permissions, delegation • Real-time /help-desk • History logging • Tree - forest • Extended Software deployment (abstract, on-demand, network based, local cache based) • Multiple servers (farm- redundancy, load-balancing, scalability) • Users management • Groups management • Extended managing concept • Advanced asset manag. (SMS 2.0) • 2nd Generation • 50-100% GUI based • Software add-on management • Dual servers • Device grouping • Multiple Discovery methods • [Users & Groups management] • 1st Generation • Script based • Full image deployment • Single server • Vendor specific TC Xcalibur 4.x Chip PC Xcalibur 2.x Xcalibur 3.x VXL inControl. Wyse Rapport 2.x Rapport 3.x Rapport 4.x Neoware ezRemote Manag. HP Altiris 6x 25

  26. Chapter 3 – Summary 26

  27. Final Analysis Results 27

  28. Conclusions • Chip PC thin-clients got the highest score in every category among all other vendors • Chip PC presented the largest set of client and remote functionality among all products and vendors. • Chip PC thin-clients also scored best results among the more expensive groups of Linux and XP embedded products. • Chip PC’s management suite – the Xcalibur 3.65 is by far the best thin-clients management suite. 28
