[OPLINTECH] sub-Thin Client

[Chad Neeper]

Ran across an interesting case study (read: advertisement) in a reseller 
catalog I receive. I don't usually pay much attention to the junk mail, 
but I happened to thumb through this one and saw a reference to the 
Staunton, Virginia public library. According to the "case study", the 
library has converted to using what appears to be a sub-thin client type 
of setup. The client device seems to be little more than a KVM linked 
over 10/100 Ethernet to a VSphere, Citrix, or Windows RDP server. The 
client device appears to consume less than 5 watts of power, so it's 
considerably more energy efficient than a PC or a real thin client device.

Thought I'd pass it along. I've not looked into it too much myself, but 
I'm curious, very especially if it would work with the free VMware ESXi, 
which I already heavily leverage.

Disclaimer:  I'm not a Pano Logic reseller, know next to nothing about 
them or their product, and certainly not trying to make any money by 
advertising their name or product.
