HP introduced three thin client products, including the company's first mobile offering, which address business needs for a more simple, secure and easily managed computing infrastructure.

According to IDC, HP (including Neoware) led the industry in thin client unit shipments with more than 34 per cent market share worldwide in the third quarter of 2007.

Three months after closing its acquisition of Neoware, HP has added to the industry's broadest portfolio of thin clients two powerful and flexible desk-based models as well as the first HP-branded mobile thin client – all of which combine notebook and thin client expertise from both HP and Neoware.

Thin clients are at the heart of HP's remote client portfolio of desktop virtualisation solutions, which also include the blade PC-based HP Consolidated Client Infrastructure platform, HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), blade workstations, remote deployment and management software and services.

“Customers have acknowledged our commitment to providing the most trusted and reliable business computing solutions by making HP the worldwide leader in the thin client market,” said Charl Snyman, vice president and general manager, Commercial Products, Personal Systems Group, HP EMEA. “HP recognises thin clients play an integral role in driving next-generation business computing platforms, and will continue innovating across thin clients and other remote computing solutions to help customers achieve their growing business goals.”
