Why thin clients?Good for customers More secure Easier to manage Low power consumption Lower costAnd good for hardware vendors!3 Canonical Confidential Ubuntu Hardware Summit. December 8th 2011 Higher margin Double digit growth rate Opportunities for differentiation High MTBF and low RMA rates
Market dataFast growing market2.9m units in 2009, 5.5m in 2011 and may grow to 12m in 2013 (*)Growth will accelerate in the next 3 yearsGartner expects that by 2014, 15% of traditional professional desktop PCs will bereplaced by virtual desktops. Most virtual desktops will be accessed from repurposed PCs or thin clients.Linux share is growingAccording to a 2008 IDC report, the Linux thin client market will grow from nearly 1million units in 2008 to 1.8 million units in 2011. Linux will reach a 30.5 percentshare of all operating system shipments on thin client devices by 2011.(*) Gartner, 2010 data4 Canonical Confidential Ubuntu Hardware Summit. December 8th 2011
