HP Expands Thin Client Portfolio with New Products Featuring Advanced Security,
Management and Low Price
The HP Compaq t5000 Thin Client series offers customers easy to buy, deploy and
manage thin clients with advanced security and reliability features, plus an
outstanding combination of price and performance.
The newest thin clients ? the HP Compaq t5125, HP Compaq t5520 and HP Compaq
t5525 ? provide customers with a choice of flexible, mainstream and advanced
features to support their varying needs. The new offerings include HP?s most
affordable thin client, the t5125, starting as low as US$239(2) to give
customers a simple and cost-effective solution for server-based computing.
HP Compaq thin clients allow customers to use the shared, pooled resources of
centralized servers and network storage, optimizing utilization and dynamically
allocating resources to clients as they log in to perform tasks. These
efficiencies deliver a streamlined, efficient client IT infrastructure. A thin
client deployment is typically 35 percent less expensive to buy, deploy and
manage than a PC, saving customers money year after year.(1)
HP?s thin clients provide:
Simple, centralized management. All HP thin clients include a free license
for Altiris Deployment Solution, allowing customers to manage thin clients,
desktops, handhelds and numerous other devices from a single console.
Reliability in a simple, sleek design. HP uses industry-standard designs and
technologies along with patented tests to help ensure high reliability. With no
moving parts, thin clients are designed for years of performance.
Secure by design: IT can easily and quickly lock down data ports and user
access from a centralized management console, providing additional security.
Valuable user data and applications reside on remote, secure servers.
?We?ve seen tremendous customer demand for our thin clients, as evidenced by
the 70 percent growth rate for our business in 2004,? said Jeff Groudan, vice
president, commercial desktop marketing, Imaging and Personal Systems Group,
HP. ?Our newest thin clients include the advanced security, reliability and
performance capabilities customers expect from HP; and with the release of our
lowest cost thin client, we are continuing our commitment to help customers
increase their return on investment.?

server-based computing. The t5125 features 32 MB flash memory for drivers and
