Look at how far reaching that concept is. More or less everyone working in an enterprise has a Smartphone that they hold at all times. For security, using the Smartphone to log in is more secure than the traditional username/password. It also ensures that when you leave, your session terminates. Additionally, it is better experience to advance to a thin client and have your Smartphone affirm your virtual session; no logging on, no starting up a session. Roaming your session is a better option– more secure and a better experience. You can also wirelessly connect your smartphone to cast the screen onto a bigger monitor connected to RX-HDX without any additional hardware.
The real accomplishment is that NComputing can offer this at 1/3 the cost of traditional thin clients. The RX-HDX sells for $119 as a manufacturer’s suggested retail price. That means the Next Generation thin client offers better security and a better experience at an extremely lower price. Imagine an RX-HDX taking the place of a traditional thin client, docking station plus a VoIP Phone. This can lead to an even greater saving. This is done by constructing the RX-HDX on a Raspberry Pi3 which is based on a 64-bit ARM chip and has amalgamated WiFi and Bluetooth. ARM processors offer incomparable price/performance and thus the decrease in the price of the Next Generation RX-HDX.
Additionally, NComputing and Citrix have collaborated to produce a complete solution for the enterprise. The RX-HDX offers enterprise-ready thin client features such as:
- Optimization for XenApp and XenDesktop
- Innovative dual display with HD video support
- HDX RTME optimization for Skype for Business
- 3D workload support for graphic-intensive applications
- Imprivata and Caradigm support for healthcare
- Tamper resistant case for greater security
- Rugged design for commercial and industrial environments
- Integrated Enterprise-Grade central device management
