Eco on the desktop: Thin(Sunray) vs. Thick(big PC)
Wednesday Jun 11, 2008
Thick versus Thin Clients: Today online at 4PM(east)/1PM(pac) there will be a debate to discuss the energy use and TCO of a thin client model versus their thicker alternatives. See: http://blogs.intel.com/technology/2008/06/ecotechnology_great_debates_at.php
I'm sure the "think thin" will have followup thoughts on this afterwards at: blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin
Desktop systems have a very different usage model (for most people's work environment they are mostly IDLE or very low utilisation), so thin usually wins. Servers are a different beast and you really want to run fewer servers at high utilisation)
