(4) Thin Clients<br />
To prevent information leak, streamline operations, and<br />
reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) , in fiscal 2007<br />
the NEC Group introduced the Thin Client Service. Since<br />
starting with only 100 PCs, the system had expanded to<br />
cover 13,000 PCs by fiscal <strong>2010</strong>. It is now the largest<br />
virtual PC-type thin client system in Japan.<br />
For the thin client server, NEC chose to employ an<br />
easy to manage and environmentally friendly virtual PC<br />
system, which requires only a handful of system engineers<br />
for all of the virtual PCs. During server maintenance, for<br />
example, this system makes it possible to transfer the<br />
virtual PC environment to another server without interrupting<br />
operations. The thin client terminals being provided<br />
include desktop models (US110 and US300a), lightweight<br />
mobile devices (US10Na), as well as installation kits to<br />
convert existing PCs to thin client terminals.<br />
With the spread of this Thin Client Service, and as a<br />
measure against theft or loss of laptop PCs, rules for<br />
removing PCs from the workplace were strengthened<br />
in fiscal 2009. The rules require all employee to use<br />
thin client terminals for work outside of the office. This<br />
has resulted in a significant reduction in incidences of<br />
information leak.<br />
Beginning in July 2008, the NEC Group also started<br />
a home-based work system. The system uses thin client<br />
terminals to minimize the risk of information leak that<br />
can occur at home. In November 2009, we prepared a<br />
simplified software-based thin client as part of our measures<br />
against the new influenza strain, ensuring that<br />
operations related to social infrastructure could be<br />
maintained even in the event of a pandemic.<br />
