HP introduced three thin client products, including the company's first mobile offering, which address business needs for a more simple, secure and easily managed computing infrastructure.

According to IDC, HP (including Neoware) led the industry in thin client unit shipments with more than 34 per cent market share worldwide in the third quarter of last year.

HP has added to the industry's broadest portfolio of thin clients two desk-based models as well as the first HP-branded mobile thin client - all of which combine notebook and thin client expertise from both HP and Neoware.

Designed for mobile workers who have a well-defined set of tasks requiring a wide range of general-purpose software or unique business applications, the HP Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client is ideal for on-the-go professionals such as insurance claim processors, remote staff, warehouse and inventory managers and office administrators, the company said.

It is based on Microsoft Windows XPe and features a 15.4-inch display; solid-state design with no hard drive, fan or other moving parts; enhanced security with no data residing on the notebook; a 802.11abg wireless adapter along with support for 3G broadband wireless via PC memory card slot; and solid-state flash module for greater durability, faster data access and more quiet and cool operation.

HP also added two high-performance, desk-based products to its portfolio with the new HP Compaq t5730 and t5735 thin clients. The HP Compaq t5730 is based on Microsoft Windows XPe and select models include integrated WLAN. Based on Debian Linux, the HP Compaq t5735 supports a variety of open source applications.

Every HP thin client also includes a full licence of Altiris Deployment Solution and a free download to provide customers with their choice of an enterprise-level management solution for large deployments.

The HP Compaq 6720t Mobile Thin Client is expected to be available in Malta in the coming months.
