Your Avatara Computer runs just like it was sitting right next to you on your desk, except that your software and data all reside safe and sound within
Avatara's Data Centers.
Virtual Computing means you're not tied to your desk, either. Your data, your work and your computer are all now accessible...
everywhere imaginable™
Nine out of 10 IT departments spend at least half of their time doing routine administrative tasks, such as adding and managing new server workloads, adding new employees or developing and launching new applications. SMBs who have implemented virtualization reported productivity gains with 73% seeing significant improvements in time spent on routine administrative tasks. Interestingly, IT decision-makers (ITDMs) feel their departments are more responsive than business decision-makers (BDMs) do; 33% of ITDMs say their IT department is very responsive, while only 18% of BDMs say their IT department is very responsive to company needs.
Virtualization can turn this negative perception around. SMBs that have adopted virtualization rate their IT departments as being more responsive to changing business needs: 73% of those who use virtualization say their IT department is “very responsive” or “somewhat responsive” to changing business needs, versus 57% of companies that don’t use virtualization.

Everyone's talking about going green these days... and it's a good idea too!
But let's be honest, the greenest possible solution for computing
would be an abacus and a stick to write with in the sand.
So until you can
grow your own computer,
there's virtual computing.

Virtual Computing means replacing your desktop computers with "thin clients".
Your thin client is a remote control for your virtual computer which exists in a bank of super computers in the Avatara Data Centers.
Since the Data Center is doing all the technological "heavy lifting",
thin clients are much simpler than the bulky, inefficient desktop PCs they replace.
Thin clients don't just take up less space on your desk, they take fewer resources
to build and use less energy than traditional desktop PCs.
What's almost as good as saving the planet? Saving money, of course!
Virtual Computing is one way you can go green
and save some green at the same time!

Manufacturing |

Landfill and Waste |
Traditional
Desktop PC
|
Desktop computers
have more parts
requiring more
materials and more
power to manufacture.
More parts = more weight
and more space.
Desktops consume
more fuel to ship
simply because they
take up more space
and they're heavier.
|
Desktops use more
electricity.
100 of them will
use over $1300
worth of electricity
in a year.
All that power
consumption creates
heat which drives
up summer air
conditioning use.
|
E-Waste is the fastest
growing contributor to
solid-waste in America.
Over 350 Million electronic
products were retired in 2005.
Desktop systems'
relatively short life-span
contribute to the problem:
More stuff in landfills = less room for golf.

not too green. |
totally not green. |
nope. |
Avatara Thin Client
|
Thin clients are
simpler, have fewer
moving parts
and take less
energy to manufacture
and ship.
|
Thin clients use
up to 90% less power.
Example: 100 of them
will only use $132
worth of electricity
in a year.
Heat? Your desk lamp
creates more heat than
your Avatara Thin Client.
|
Once your thin client
finally reaches
obsolescence (8 years)
you'll be relieved to
know your unit
is 90% recyclable.
