PC Repurposing: Use of Cloud Desktop Os Can Bring Your Old Computer Back to Life

Intro

When it comes to upgrading your IT resources to a virtual environment, everyone wants to get the best bang for their buck. While PCs can be expensive to buy and upgrade, ClearCube offers a competitive and cost-effective [WU1] way to extend the life of your IT infrastructure without breaking the bank. Using ClearCube PC Repurposing Software, you can now extend the life of your hardware by turning aging PC Endpoints into thin client terminals. What is PC Repurposing, you ask? Let us explain.

What is PC Repurposing?

PC Repurposing allows you to reuse your outdated hardware device (computer, laptop, etc.) instead of letting it remain unutilized[WU2] . Using Cloud Desktop OS, you can easily transform [WU3] your old tech into a secure and centrally managed Thin Client and connect to any remote computer or back-end system of your choice at a minimal cost. [WU4] Cloud Desktop OS minimizes the pains and risks of switching to VDI environments, making it fast and easy for organizations and companies [WU5] of all sizes to immediately benefit from VDI client computing.

VDI clients have a wide variety of uses and several[WU6] industries benefit from this technology. These industries include Financial Services, Hospitals, Government Agencies, Engineering and many more. Jumping right into the VDI market can seem intimidating, especially if you are not sure if your business is ready for a full-blown [WU7] setup. That’s where PC Repurposing comes in: PC Repurposing is an excellent way for any company to step into the world of VDI, without having to spend a large sum to begin. [WU8] If the computer was made after 1998, it can be used as a thin client. Some of the benefits of repurposing your PC are:

Saves money over buying new PCs and supporting products

Easy setup and centralized management

Enhanced security and flexibility

Future proofs your desktop

Minimizes the pains and risks of switching to VDI environments

Build, configure, and control your entire thin client network from your browser

Supports a wide range of connection protocols such as VMware® PCoIP & Blast Extreme, Microsoft® RemoteFX, and many more!

A single OS for all your hardware (PCs, laptops, and thin clients)

Automatic client updates over the network

How it Works:

By simply downloading Cloud Desktop OS onto your PC, you can use it as a terminal to connect to any remote computer or back-end system.

How do I know if my PC is compatible?

Cloud Desktop OS should work on [WU9] any PC or Thin Client built after 1998, and it requires minimal hardware to run:

[WU10]

500 MHz

128 MB RAM

IDE or SATA hard disk

VGA graphics adapter

Ethernet network interface

Conclusion

The IT world moves fast and PC Repurposing allows you to keep up to date for much longer[WU11] . By repurposing your PC to access virtual desktops, you save money as you are now able to reuse what you already have, and to take advantage of the benefits of centralized computing and desktop virtualization without investing in substantial VDI infrastructure.
