Unmatched Availability
The costs associated with
downtime of networked enterprise computers can be staggering.
Clear Cube delivers an unprecedented 99.9% client computer
availability, reducing downtime expenses and increasing
productivity. This number is achieved through a combination of
factors, beginning with custom software that predicts points
of failure before they happen
The Clear Cube Management Suite™
(CMS) allows the IT staff to start solving a problem before
the end user even knows one exists. In the event the problem
is unavoidable, the centralization of the innovative Client
Blades allows swapping “on the fly,” with little interruption
to the end user and no visit to the desk.
Superior Manageability
Clear Cube's simplified architecture allows the IT staff to
manage every CPU in the network from a single, centralized
location. As a result, network performance is optimized and
network connections are easier to manage. New users can be
added in a fraction of the usual time.
Company-wide software and memory upgrades can be deployed much
more quickly, while practically eliminating end user downtime.
For example, a memory upgrade on an entire rack of blades—up
to 112 computers—can be done in under one hour. If the memory
had to be installed at each individual desktop, it could
easily take weeks. Only Clear Cube can deliver this level of
systems management efficiency.
Enhanced Security
Clear Cube's
centralized desktop solution enables IT departments to improve
security in three areas: data security, network security, and
physical security.
IT has the ability to control a
user's access to mass storage devices, through USB hardware
and software lockout options. IT managers are able to
eliminate the theft of company data and stop users from
introducing unlicensed software or viruses into the system.
Clear Cube
also improves physical security over the computer because the
high-value equipment is locked-down in a secured data center
or telecom closet.
Clear Cube
strengthens the security of the network since the entire
network run is now physically enclosed in a secured
environment that can be shielded from network sniffing
devices.
Lower
Operating Costs
Clear Cube's
architecture drastically reduces operating costs by changing
the way IT managers administer desktop support and service.
The centralization of the Clear Cube Client Blades virtually
eliminates desk-side support.
As a
result, troubleshooting becomes a faster, more efficient
process, while moves, adds and changes are significantly
easier to implement through Clear Cube's unique switching
capabilities. In addition, Clear Cube delivers extremely high
availability, which minimizes the costs associated with user
disruption.
