RUCS is pleased to announce that we have rolled out thin clients in all 18 labs on campus where they were targeted for deployment.

Not only are these clients faster, they require 90% less energy to run and have a smaller desktop footprint which requires significantly less material to produce. That equates to less energy spent on transportation and less material to eventually recycle. Each unit is expected to work effectively for five to six years, nearly double the life span of traditional PCs, and its low heat output means less power needed for air conditioning.

We are proud to be one of the first universities in the area to adopt this technology on this scale and look foward to expanding on it. For more information please visit our Virtual Desktop Infrastructure information page at http://help.rockhurst.edu/vdi
