14 DAY TRIAL // Netbooks and nettops have become successful for a number of reasons, including the fact that these small-sized computer systems provide a considerable power consumption reduction, when compared to traditional PCs. ASUS’ Eee Box, for example, only requires around 20 watts of power, a 90% reduction of the carbon footprint of a standard PC. However, Fujitsu Siemens Computers wants to take things to a new level, providing its customers with a zero-watt PC. The company is expected to showcase said computer system in March, at the CeBit show in Hanover, Germany.
There are few details for the time being, other than what the company has provided through a recent press release. According to Fujitsu, the PC, dubbed Esprimo Green, would become available this summer and would provide users with a PC that is said to consume no power while in standby mode. In addition, Fujitsu claims that its Esprimo Green is still going to be “administrable” while the system is in standby. The PC is expected to be showcased at CeBit in Hanover, Germany, a computer show that is going to start on March 3 and which will be held until March 8.
CeBit will also be the place where Fujitsu is expected to unveil an ultra-portable Esprimo Mobile Thin Client, designed to work with enterprise servers. The system is said to store its operating system in a Flash memory, while the data is stored on a secure server. One of the key benefits of said system is that it provides an easy administration, offering users access through wireless LAN, Bluetooth and UMTS connections.
In addition, Fujitsu is expected to unveil a series of green systems and solutions designed for small and medium-sized businesses, which will also be showcased at CeBit, along with new anti-theft systems that have been designed to combine remote control and tracking facilities.
