ThinDesk offers one of the greenest IT solutions on the market. In fact, in 2010 a clinic at Mt. Saini hospital in Toronto saved 65,522 kWh by migrating only 40 desktops and consolidating 10 servers to 1 virtual server on the back end hosted at a Tier 3 SAS 70 TELUS data centre. The client received an $8000 hydro rebate. Contact us to learn more about reducing your CO2 and possible financial rebate.
Save Energy & Costs: Green Your IT
- Thin Client Desktops and Laptops use 15% the engery of a typical PC.
- Typical PC’s have power supplies of 250-400 watts. If left on 24 hours a day would use 180kw-288kw of power per month.
- Thin Client devices range in power consumption from 50-65 watts or 36kw-47kw per month.
- This equates to a 73-88% power savings on the desktop.
- Further, Thin clients have twice the lifecycle and are ¼ of the size of a PC, so businesses have a less frequent hardware refresh, therefore producing less waste into landfills.
- These desktop savings do not include the cost of a energy consumption of a company’s in-house servers, server room cooling, battery backup’s, networking equipment and space air conditioning. ThinDesk’s customers do not have onsite servers which greatly reduce their carbon footprint.
Below is a video comparing the energy use of PC’s vs. Thin Clients.
