while managing IT costs. The NCD ThinSTAR 200 Windows-based
Terminal helps to meet that challenge by providing the lowest
total cost of desktop ownership available.

to new applications, memory, CPUs and peripherals. Using thin
client technology from NCD, companies can maximize their IT
investment.

address can be automatically assigned. This means users are
up and running quickly using a technology that fits seamlessly
into a company’s current IT infrastructure.
NCD ThinSTAR Operating
Software, containing a core Windows CE operating system, comes
pre-loaded in flash memory on every NCD ThinSTAR 200. This provides
instant start-up at power-on, eliminating the need to download
software off the network. And all flash resident software is
easily upgraded via the network. Administration of the NCD ThinSTAR
200 is simplified by a series of configuration wizards found
in NCD ThinSTAR Operating Software
Efficient,
flexible network utilization
Network
display protocol choices include Microsoft’s Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) and Citrix Systems’ Intelligent Computing Architecture
(ICA). Each of these protocols is optimized to deliver data
over a variety of network media. The result is robust services
delivered to each desktop combined with maximum network flexibility.
