Energy efficiency is becoming a very important part of today’s computer deployments in schools and all industries. We can no longer ignore the environmental impact that our computing practices have. Unfortunately, energy efficient hardware is costly to purchase and it takes years to recoup those costs in energy savings. With budget concerns at the forefront of decision making, energy efficient computing is not always the most viable option at the time. The Aqua Connect Terminal Server is a different approach to energy efficient computing. We provide a solution that will save you money now and in the future.
Save up to 80% on energy consumption and cost
Aqua Connect Terminal Server allows you to share the server’s resources and deploy Mac OS X to a diverse amount of hardware such as PCs, legacy Macs and energy efficient thin clients. Before Aqua Connect created the first Mac terminal server, OS X could not be deployed to energy efficient thin clients. These energy efficient thin clients use between 1/4 to 1/8 the amount of energy of a normal PC or Mac workstation. Until now, the Mac operating system was not available to thin clients, but with Aqua Connect’s solution you can bring OS X to these energy efficient machines. The server becomes a green server by deploying the Mac operating system to energy efficient thin clients.
Every day you will save money in energy costs and consumption when using Aqua Connect Terminal Server in conjunction with thin clients. The best part is that many of these thin clients are far cheaper to purchase than a normal workstation. For less than the cost of a normal workstation, you can purchase an energy efficient thin client and an Aqua Connect Terminal Server license to deploy OS X. With no moving parts, most thin clients can last more than 10 years, increasing even more the value of these devices.
The only way to deploy Mac OS X to thin clients
If energy savings is an important initiative for your school or company, than Aqua Connect can help you reach this goal with a limited budget in mind. We work with the best hardware vendors in the thin client market to bring you a complete solution.

Aqua Connect Terminal Server is the most efficient and cost effective way to achieve a green computing environment at your school or organization.
