  • 0:06 - 0:10
    IT managers have been hit with a perfect
    storm of staffing limitations at a high
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    water moment of OS and software
    complexity.
  • 0:13 - 0:17
    Client management can become especially
    complex when you add in
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    escalating energy costs,
    increasing security threats,
  • 0:20 - 0:23
    and the constant demand to
    improve operational efficiency.
  • 0:23 - 0:28
    Replacing bulky desktops with thin
    clients and leveraging virtual desktop...
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    ...infrastructure technologies have
    addressed some of these issues.
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    But up until now, thin client replacement
    systems haven't been able to offer...
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    ...some of the more robust features of
    their bulky desktop predecessors.
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    Graphics capabilities have been a
    particular weakness for thin clients.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    So, can you be thin and still be powerful?
  • 0:49 - 0:55
    Introducing ATI FirePro RG220
    professional graphics.
  • 0:55 - 1:00
    The first integrated PC over IP remote
    graphics solution for professional thin...
  • 1:00 - 1:05
    client work station replacement systems.
    Including 3D CAD, digital content...
  • 1:05 - 1:10
    creation, financial services, engineering,
    film, and game production.
  • 1:10 - 1:15
    It's a unique solution that helps IT
    mangers offer more robust
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    graphics power to thin clients...
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    ...while helping to simplify their
    infrastructure, reduce local energy...
  • 1:21 - 1:24
    ...costs, and ease the demand of migration
    and support.
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    [Why remote graphics?]
  • 1:28 - 1:31
    What advantages does a thin client network
    featuring remote graphics offer?
  • 1:32 - 1:37
    A client that draws on remote server side
    graphics capabilities offer a thin, yet...
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    ...powerful replacement for a bulky
    desktop PC.
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    It's small, quiet, cool, and
    energy efficient: a step up from...
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    ...previous generation work stations.
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    Remote graphics also supports enhanced
    thin client network security with no need
  • 1:52 - 1:56
    ...for graphics processing on the clients'
    side, thin clients with no local data...
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    ...storage can be used. Meaning sensitive
    data and intellectual properties can be...
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    ...stored in a central and safe location.
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    IT managers will enjoy simplified upgrade
    and maintenance processes.
  • 2:08 - 2:11
    Plus, easy hot desking and migration.
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    And effortless remote office setup.
  • 2:15 - 2:17
