The HP t5740e Thin Client and the HP MultiSeat Solution have been enhanced with hardware and software features that deliver breakthrough performance.

One of the world’s best-selling thin clients, the HP t5740e now delivers improved responsiveness and multimedia experiences with up to 15 percent less CPU utilisation than before, and simultaneous support for up to four digital displays when configured with new available optional features.

Featuring a choice of the HP t100 or t150 Zero Clients, the HP MultiSeat Solution has been expanded to provide improved end-user performance over previous offerings with the inclusion of the HP Compaq MultiSeat ms6200 Desktop. HP MultiSeat provides a familiar, individual Windows computing experience to as many as 10 users from the power of a single, efficient, reliable HP business desktop.

The enhanced portfolio reinforces HP’s position as the worldwide market leader in thin client shipments.

The HP t5740e features Intel® Atom dual-threaded processors and the Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Standard 7 operating system with support for RDP 7.1 and Microsoft RemoteFX to deliver a rich, PC-like user experience. A robust access device for Citrix, Microsoft or VMware environments, the t5740e supports a wide range of applications and multiple, simultaneous environments.

Ideal for the security and high-performance multimedia needs of financial services institutions and government agencies.

“The new configurations available on the t5740e demonstrate why HP is a leader in performance-based thin computing and sells more Windows-based thin clients than our next five competitors combined,” said Jeff Groudan, director, Commercial Desktop and Thin Client Marketing, HP. “We are excited to bring the upgraded t5740e to market delivering this type of performance, efficiency and user productivity at an industry-leading value.”

By expanding its HP MultiSeat Solution with the HP Compaq ms6200 Desktop, HP becomes the only company to offer a complete, fully licensed and supported Microsoft Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 solution from a single vendor, with a host PC featuring the powerful yet efficient second-generation Intel Core™ i5 or i7 processors for enhanced performance.
