• On-demand applications/desktops
• Centralized management of work environments
• Drastically reduced endpoint software/hardware issues
• Simplied system maintenance and Improved system security
• More scalability with low-cost endpoint devices
1.2 Features
The key features of ViewSonic SC-Z56 zero clients are:
• Teradici™ TERA2140 processor with Teradici™ 2nd generation zero client chipset
• Support for VMware® desktop virtualization solution: VMware® View™
