  1. A ThinGreen Line

  2. There is a ThinGreen Line between what is labeled “green technology” and that which is “truly green” by its very nature.

  3. Green Technologies Energy Producing Technologies • Geothermal • Wind • Solar • Tidal and Wave • Hydro • “Artificial” Photosynthesis

  4. Green Technologies Energy Efficient Technologies • LED’s –Light Emitting Diodes • Intelligrid –efficient electrical distribution • “Smart” homes and offices • CFL’s - Compact Fluorescent Lamps • Kill-a-Watt Power Strips • Computer Controlled Traffic Flow • And……

  5. ThinManager® Ready Thin Clients

  6. Green Impact of Thin Clients • Lower Power Consumption • Less Heat Generation • Lighter Manufacturing Demands • Fewer Raw Materials • Less Energy • Less Water • Device Disposal • Less Frequently • Smaller • Fewer Hazardous Components

  7. Simple Case Study 20 Computer Workstations vs. ACP Enabled Industrial Thin Client Network 20 ACP Enabled Thin Clients and 2 Terminal Servers Running a SCADA Application

  8. Field Measurements WorkStation Computer 96 WATTS Industrial Thin Client 12 WATTS Office Thin Client 7 WATTS

  9. 2008 Regional US Electric Rates Source: Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-826, "Monthly Electric Sales and Revenue Report with State Distributions Report."

  10. Nationwide US Average Results

  11. Savings for a Typical System

  12. Coal Consumption Pollution Production

  13. And Heat? Almost all of the power required to run your computer is dissipated as heat! 1 KW = 1,314 BTU More Watts means more heat which requires cooling, which in turn requires more power…

  14. Heat’s Additive Effect Building AC Costs 1500 BTU Cooler 210 Watts Energy in Enclosure 138 Watts PC & Display WorkStation PC 96 Watts

  15. Savings Including Heat Load

  16. Useful Life Industrial Thin Client >10 years Office Grade Thin Client >10 years Computer Workstation 5 years

  17. Device Disposal Computer disposal is not free and it’s certainly not green!!! • Workstation PC’s • At least twice in ten years • Far more raw materials and natural resources involved • Thin Clients • Maybe never • Smaller

  18. Really Green Thoughts Thin Clients require fewer raw materials, natural resources and energy to create and dispose of. Thin Clients enter and leave the create and destroy cycle significantly less. Thin Clients have a much smaller carbon footprint while they are in operation.

  19. Economies of Scale Computer uses 95 WATTS Runs 12 hours per day US population ~ 300 Million people 75% of people have a computer

  20. Economies of Scale Replace PC’s with ThinManager Ready Thin Clients Add a terminal server for every 25 Thin Clients Annual Savings of 69 Billion kWhrs per year US home uses 8,900 kWhrs per year Save enough power to supply 7,800,000 homes 500 mWatt Coal Fired Plant – 3.5 Billion kWhrs 20 Coal Fired Power Plants!!!!

  21. ThinManager Saving Power The On/Off Factor • Can you turn a PC based workstation off? • Real-time trending • Historical data logging • IT pushing updates and backups • Running remote desktop • Booting and application start up • Turn an ACP Enabled thin client off when not in use! • Sessions are always running on terminal servers • Boot and reconnect in 60 seconds or less

  22. ThinManager Saving Power Why use Two When One Will Do • Problem • Fear of running diverse applications (such as HMI and Scheduling/MES) on a single plant floor computer resulting in multiple computers • Solution • MultiSession on one ThinManager Ready thin client • Extrapolate across 20 or more clients with terminal servers for the applications

  23. ThinManager Saving Power Fear of Failure • Problem • Critical application requires two identical HMI stations • Solution • Instant Failover and Redundant Ethernet provide redundancy • Install second preconfigured Thin Client – small footprint, minimal space

  24. The Message Green Impact of Thin Clients Hidden Value of ACP Enabled Thin Clients is Made Visible Improves Return On Investment Reduces your Carbon Footprint Positive Impact on Global Energy Part of the Value Proposition
