The <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>NetVista</strong> <strong>N2200e</strong>, <strong>Thin</strong> <strong>Client</strong><br />
<strong>Express</strong> is an easy-to-use thin client that<br />
customers can set up, configure and boot<br />
locally, without having to establish a server<br />
connection. The <strong>N2200e</strong> includes the<br />
<strong>NetVista</strong> N2200 thin-client hardware and<br />
special flash-card-based software that<br />
streamlines the thin-client configuration<br />
process to a few simple screens.<br />
This software provides basic <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>Thin</strong><br />
<strong>Client</strong> Manager V2R1 desktop functions,<br />
and enables quick access to applications<br />
on Windows ® 2000, Windows NT ® 4.0,<br />
Terminal Server Edition, OS/400 ® , AIX ® ,<br />
OS/390 ® and other server-based<br />
applications. In addition, a single <strong>N2200e</strong><br />
can “peer-boot” up to 30 other N2200<br />
<strong>NetVista</strong> thin clients on the network.<br />
With its high reliability, low cost and localboot<br />
capability, the <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>NetVista</strong> <strong>N2200e</strong><br />
is ideal for those who want to quickly<br />
install desktops at a remote location while<br />
enjoying the rapid application deployment<br />
and low total cost of ownership for<br />
which <strong>IBM</strong> thin clients are known. It is also<br />
perfect for kiosk-style applications, such<br />
as an automated information desk.<br />
Customers that want the advantages of<br />
the <strong>Thin</strong> <strong>Client</strong> <strong>Express</strong> along with<br />
increased performance, expanded<br />
device attachment capabilities and the<br />
ability to run integrated business applications<br />
directly on the client may look to the<br />
<strong>IBM</strong> <strong>NetVista</strong> N2800e, available 3Q00.<br />
<strong>Thin</strong>k local<br />
The <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>NetVista</strong> <strong>N2200e</strong>, <strong>Thin</strong> <strong>Client</strong><br />
<strong>Express</strong> offers features and capabilities<br />
similar to the standard <strong>NetVista</strong> N2200<br />
thin client, with the addition of simplified<br />
configuration and installation, and the<br />
ability to start up without a boot server.<br />
With the <strong>NetVista</strong> <strong>Thin</strong> <strong>Client</strong> <strong>Express</strong>, all<br />
necessary boot files are stored on the<br />
pre-installed Compact Flash card, along<br />
with simplified setup and configuration<br />
tools, Citrix ICA protocol software<br />
(providing access to multi-user Windows<br />
applications), and emulators for 3270,<br />
5250, VTxxx and other terminals.
