Eon e100
The Eon e100 connects to any ClearCube PC blade over standard Ethernet
infrastructure that may include routers, switches, hubs and media converters. This
means the distance between a PC blade and the desktop can be unlimited provided
that sufficient network bandwidth is available. The Eon e100 is available with either
the Windows XPe or the NeoLinux operating system.
The Eon e100 I/Port provides a mezzanine PCI slot to allow adding expansion cards
that enhance the device’s usability.
I8820
The I8820 features Windows XPe as the operating system. The small form factor of
the I8820 I/Port allows customers to easily mount the I8820 under desks, vertically on
walls, or behind a monitor using the optional mounting bracket.
Connecting to blades using RDP, the I8820 I/Port delivers video and peripheral
signals to the user using Ethernet, eliminating distance limitations between the blade
and user. The I8820 supports ClearCube Sentral, which sets up and dynamically
allocate the RDP connections between the I/Ports and blades. Additionally, Sentral
provides sparing and dynamic allocation capabilities for ClearCube I/Ports.
I8020
The I8020 runs an embedded Linux operating system called NeoLinux. The I8020
features the same form factor as the I8820, allowing the same flexibility in mounting at
the user’s work space.
Like the I8820, the I8020 eliminates any distance limitations between the blade and
user by using RDP. Existing Windows XP blades can work with the NeoLinux-based
I8020 without requiring any upgrades. The I8020 also supports Sentral.
I8330
The I8330 is the first product in a new class of I/Ports that connect over Ethernet but
do not use RDP as the extension protocol. Because this technology eliminates the
need for an operating system on the desktop device, I8330 I/Ports are totally
impervious to viruses.
