‘Hewlett Packard (HP)’ launched its first mobile thin client, a notebook this week. This exclusive notebook has been enabled to store data and access several wireless applications on a centralized server.

In addition to the ‘Compaq 6720t’, HP also rolled up the two desktop thin clients, the ‘Compaq t5730’ and’ t5735’. The 6720t and t5730 notebooks run’ Microsoft Windows XPe’ while the ‘t5735 notebook’ is based on the ‘Debian Linux Operating System’. This model is also capable of supporting other open source applications.

HP’s thin-client hardware uses a dedicated ‘Neoware Technology’ that facilitates users to build exclusive controllable desktop systems. These systems could easily be managed centrally from servers with little desk-side intervention. Neoware’s Linux-based thin-client systems complemented HP’s Windows-based systems.

The ‘6720t mobile PC’ has a 15.4-inch display and is powered by a 1.06-GHz Intel Celeron M Processor 423. This mobile PC also has 1 GB of memory, a 1-GB solid-state flash drive, and three USB 2.0 ports. It applies the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 for the processing of complex graphics.

The mobile thin client does not have any hard-disk drive. All its content is stored and hosted on a server. The server simultaneously handles all business applications, such as Microsoft Office. The system effectively supports Wi-Fi and also contains a PC memory card slot for connecting to 3G broadband wireless networks.

HP’s new products are beneficial to the people who have more out timing jobs including the insurance claim processors, warehouse and inventory managers, and office administrators. HP says that these machines are easier to manage with enhanced security compared to the conventional computers.

‘HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure’ is based on the VMware’s Infrastructure. It helps managing multiple VMware Server and VMware ESX Server virtual machines. HP has also included its management software, the ‘Consolidated Client Infrastructure’, which centralizes PC processing operations in the data center. The company also added the ‘HP Systems Insight Manager’ to systemize the storage management.

HP’s new ‘6720t mobile PC’ would be ready for shipping by the month end with a price tag of $725. Compaq Presario C700T’ notebook has been priced at $500. HP however, did not disclose the technical specifications of the new ‘Compaq t5730 and t5735 desktops’. These models would be having price tags of $499 and $450, respectively. Currently, HP is offering an older Compaq t5530 thin client for $300.
