Windows 10 support ends:
Is your company ready for the transition?
The end of support for Windows 10 presents a significant challenge. Discover why switching to Thin Clients could be the ideal solution for your business.
What does the end of Windows 10 support mean for your company?
Microsoft has announced the end of support for Windows 10. In particular, support for version 21H2 was discontinued in June of this year, as you can read here. This means that there will be no more security updates or technical support for this operating system.
This could represent a significant security risk for your company. Without regular updates, potential security vulnerabilities could arise that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
Given the significant costs associated with purchasing new PCs and Windows 11 licenses, we propose an alternative solution: utilize your existing PCs as thin clients. This option is not only more cost-effective, but also more secure.
Security and budget in focus
- No security updates, no technical support
- Significant security risk for businesses
- Exploiting security vulnerabilities
- High costs for new hardware and licenses
Are your devices ready for the switch to Windows 11?
A switch from Windows 10 to Windows 11 could be difficult for some of your devices. Windows 11 has higher System Requirements, which means that not all PCs or laptops will be able to perform the update. This will mean additional costs and training effort for your company.
Did you know that you can continue to use your existing PC hardware by using it as thin clients?
Instead of investing in new devices, you can use your existing PCs as thin clients in conjunction with a remote desktop application (e.g., RDP, Citrix, Omnissa Horizon formerly VMware Horizon). This allows you to extend the lifespan of your current hardware while facilitating the transition to a more efficient and secure IT infrastructure.
Using old PCs as thin clients not only saves costs but is also environmentally friendly. It reduces e-waste and helps you minimize your ecological footprint.
Have you considered the benefits of Thin Clients for your business?
Thin clients have established themselves as compact, cost-effective mini-computers that access the resources of a central server to run applications. Unlike traditional desktop computers, they require less local processing power, which offers a number of advantages.
A key advantage is improved data security. Since thin clients do not store data locally, the risks of data theft or loss are drastically reduced. All data is securely stored on the central server, which enables better control, processing, and data backup.
In addition, management with a solution like openthinclient allows for centralized and structured administration of clients and applications. This significantly reduces administrative effort while simultaneously increasing security.
Compared to traditional desktop computers, Thin Clients offer faster and more cost-effective integration into a centralized IT infrastructure. Thanks to their simple and quick setup and configuration, which often takes only a few minutes, they can save considerable time and resources.
