ThinManager: A Better Delivery System


What does ThinManager do?

6

ThinManager is a software platform that provides the ability to securely deliver content available from productivity applications (e.g. HMI, MES) and other sources of important information. ThinManager centralizes management and delivery of visual resources from the server to the end user through virtually any computing device, reducing maintenance and increasing uptime. ThinManager enhances the value of end user hardware (e.g. PCs, thin clients, tablets) by adding powerful features and functionality not found in any other solution. Relevance adds location‐based functionality to the platform

Centralized Management Reduced Operating System Maintenance Install Once, Use Many Improved Security Flexible Application Deployment Lower Total Cost of Ownership


Benefits of Thin Client Hardware

10

Small Footprint (easier to ship, mount, cool) Better Security (no hard drive, USB disabled) Longer Life (withstands harsh environments) Reduced Power Consumption (no drives, fans) Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Included in SP3 of ThinManager 7 Additional Levels of Encryption to Database


Virtualization

16

Virtualization decouples hardware from software. Hypervisor:

Allows multiple VMs to access the same physical server hardware Abstracts the actual hardware from the VMs

2 types of Hypervisors: Type 1 Bare Metal = hypervisor replaces the host OS Type 2 Hosted = hypervisor runs on the host OS

VMWare, Microsoft and Citrix are some Prominent Hypervisor vendors

Relevance will help Industrial Transition

23

Industrialized PCs fade, smart devices increase Smart devices understand their location Smart devices will understand who is using them

This is the essence that Relevance unlocks: The right content The right user The right location The right time
