Make a computer unnecessary in a variety of situations

Samsung has definitely been pulling out every card recently, now making a stop on the enterprise market, where it unleashed a number of monitors with PC-over-IP capabilities.

Desktops might a bit too expensive for some businesses that want to minimize the costs of their infrastructure, so they might decide on a more centralized, network-focused means of operation.

One means of achieving this is to have a remote host that multiple users can access, instead of providing each of them with their own system.

Monitors equipped with PC-over-IP (PCoIP) capabilities, thus, have a faithful following, so it is no great shock to learn that Samsung made a few.

More precisely, the company built the TS190, TS220 and TS240 Thin-client monitors, as well as the NS190, NS220, NS240 and NC220P Zero-client models.

“The new TS-Series and NS-Series Cloud Station monitors continue Samsung’s dedication to innovation within the enterprise market and offer organizations a highly efficient means to enter the developing desktop virtualization space,” said Young Bae, director of display marketing at Samsung Electronics Enterprise Business Division.

“These new models reduce the burden on IT management and enable workstations to leverage the power and speed of the company’s server, while reducing overall energy costs and creating a seamless, clutter-free work environment.”

The Thin Client Station monitors have AMD Ontario 1.2 GHz processors, the Radeon HD 6310 graphics and up to 2 GB of RAM, plus 4 GB or 8 GB of flash storage.

Meanwhile, the NS-Series focus solely on maintaining the connection to a central host.

The fourth quarter is when sales are set to commence, though pricing details have not been provided. Until such a time as the company decides to pick up the issue again, prospective customers can go to the official press release to see the full specs of each model.
