The migration is quick and efficient, averaging only 5 minutes to fully install per desktop, once you receive the hardware. PC repurposing takes less than 5 minutes to download per desktop and turn your PC into a full function thin client, offering all the benefits of traditional thin clients with minimal installation time. Low Cost Thin clients can capital costs by increasing energy efficiency (save 60-150 watts of power per terminal)and requiring less hardware maintenance (Can save $1000 per seat in maintenance costs). PC repurposing software is a less expensive alternative to a thin client purchase. Devon IT's VDI Blaster costs $14.99 per license, and, once installed, allows companies to prolong the capital life of previously purchased hardware. %24 Increased Security PC purposing offers the same increased security from a fully virtualized IT architecture. VDI Thin clients are protected from the introduction of viruses and the use of unauthorized software. Additionally, centralized processing makes it easy to manage and monitor the system from a singular location. Blaster makes centrally-managed desktops possible, which reduces risks of viruses and unauthorized software use, and allows for synchronized system updates.
