Ian,

yes mate they are blades....

Basically its like thin client but with the full functionality of a pc!

Currently the C-port (little box that acts as desktop) is around 2 1/2 times the size of an Ipaq.

The C-port is connected via cat 5/6 cabling which has a 200m range or fibre which has a 1km range.

The I-port runs across IP so basically like a laptop! that plugs into the same blade everytime!

HP who's techology is a fair bit behind clearcube's is quoting 45% reduction in TCO!

Got told about this last week and it sounds quite exiting but wanted to find out what people think about it???

Anyone know anymore?

P.

btw - Hi Hux!

Question

Do these blades run a proper O/S or is it Micro$ only?

Thanks Boomer.

We're looking at the Sun blades currently - looks like a good solution for web based services.
