Meet HP's Sprout, now available in the UK
The intriguing HP Sprout is a next-generation desktop computer combining an all-in-one PC, a projector-scanner unit, a touch mat and a custom Windows-integrated workspace. ...
According to HP, the sexiest thing in IT right now is thin clients. Our photo gallery gives you an inside look into HP's latest thin client technology — and what happens when it breaks.
This is the server-end of the thin client setup, with the blades in the bottom and the terminal at the top. Running on the terminal you can see the Session Allocation Manager — HP's software for managing the blades.
The Session Allocation manager allows you to log the sessions of all users, and assign different privileges to different users or groups.
The blades themselves are quite small. According to Flynn "you can put 280 of these in a 42 unit rack — with a total of 14 wires coming out the back."
