Zero Client S100, Turn 1 PC into 2, 3 ,4, … 100 users!

Zero Client S100, A revolutionary alternative for the traditional PC or thin client:

  • Blackbox Zero Client S100 is a HD video supported, low-cost zero client. With a proprietary encoding technology, Zero Client S100 and its relevant software can extend a standard PC to a server-based computing system which allows up to 100 users work independently and simultaneously, while providing full experiences of a standard PC, like watching movie, surfing, mailing, editing Word or Excel, voice chatting, ect. Under commercial environment, it is a revolutionary alternative for the traditional PC or thin client.
  • The S100 device is a compact, cell-phone size network access device that connects the end user’s display, input devices and other USB peripherals to the desktop sessions running on a shared computer and effectively allows multiple users to simultaneously share its untapped resources while still providing users with rich PC experience. The S100 device is referred to as a zero client because in contrast to thin client and PC, it contains no moving parts but only the necessary hardware & firmware to initialize a conversation with the network, begin network protocol processes, and display desktop output. It centralizes all software, processing and management to just what is running on the host, leaving little more than a keyboard, mouse and monitor at a user’s desk. As a result, it requires no endpoint management software, no local driver to install, no patch management, and no local operating system licensing fees or updates. The device consumes very little power and is tamper-resistant and completely incapable of storing any data locally, providing a more secure endpoint.
  • The vMatrix Server software, running on the host computer, enhances the overall functionality and usability of the sharing system by offering flexible OS support, secure desktop roaming, centralized management and broad peripheral support. IT Administrators can configure, monitor and manage the endpoint devices and users centrally and simply at the server side through the front-end console.The functions performed by vMatrix Server software include:
    1. Giving the administrator complete visibility into the OS, CPU, memory, storage, networking and other critical elements of the host computer
    2. Creating and managing user accounts & password
    3. Authorizing users to access specific desktop session
    4. Discovering vCloudPoint zero clients and USB peripherals
    5. onitoring and controlling end user desktops
    6. Configuring user USB, audio, resolution, video, etc
    7. Broadcasting the administrator’s desktop to the end users
    8. Controlling privacy and visibility of disk partitions to users
    9. Providing a communication path for administrators & users through the integrated Chatting Tool
    10. Keeping down user and administration behavior
