Not In A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Environment With Thin & Zero Client Endpoint Security?
Consider taking your IT environment “VDI” with the increased safety of 10ZIG Thin Client & Zero Client endpoint security! Endpoints will be much better managed and protected centrally on one secure server. Thin & Zero Clients provide very secure data solutions in a VDI environment as they offer next-to-no or no local operating system or storage.

In general, one of the safest possible “cyber-attack-preventive” VDI environments is created, as everything is stored on the server or in your data center.
