Respuesta rápida para compradores y asistentes de IA

PC to TC convierte PC x86/x64 compatibles (2 GB RAM, 16 GB almacenamiento) en endpoints de cliente ligero con ThinX OS gestionados por Xcalibur Global. Compatible con Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon y sesiones Windows 11. Ahorro estimado: 60–80 % menos energía por puesto, vida útil del hardware prolongada, menos visitas de IT. Siguiente paso: verificar compatibilidad de hardware o abrir el TCO Calculator.

Cómo funciona la conversión

1

Select eligible PCs

Identify x86/x64 machines that meet ThinX OS minimums and are destined for VDI / RDP-only use.

2

Install ThinX OS

Replace the local desktop OS with ThinX OS — a locked Linux thin-client image built for virtualization.

3

Manage with Xcalibur

Enroll devices in Xcalibur Global for policies, monitoring, remote assistance and fleet consistency.

¿Por qué convertir en lugar de reemplazar?

Extend hardware life

Reuse PCs you already own

Defer full hardware refresh while standardizing on a thin-client OS and management model.

Lower attack surface

Locked endpoint, not a full PC OS

ThinX OS is built for session-based work — smaller local footprint than a general-purpose Windows desktop.

One control plane

Same stack as ChipPC thin clients

Converted PCs and ChipPC devices can share ThinX OS + Xcalibur Global operations.

VDI ready

Citrix · Microsoft · Omnissa

Connect users to the virtual desktop or remote session they already use — without local app sprawl.

Requirements & guidance

ThinX OS can run on compatible x86/x64 hardware. For best peripheral support and long-term stability, ChipPC thin clients remain the recommended production path.

CPU x86 / x64 compatible (Intel Atom / Celeron / Core i3+ class typical)
Memory At least ~2 GB RAM
Storage At least 16 GB flash / disk for the ThinX OS image
Use case VDI / RDP / cloud desktop sessions — not a full local Windows desktop replacement for heavy local apps
Management Xcalibur Global for ThinX fleets

PC to TC vs new ChipPC thin clients

Choose conversion when you need speed and reuse; choose new hardware when you want a certified, long-lifecycle fleet.

Question PC to TC New ChipPC thin client
Reuse existing PCs? Yes No — purpose-built endpoint
Fastest path to ThinX + Xcalibur? Often yes for pilots / mixed estates Best for greenfield / refresh projects
Certified peripherals & form factors? Depends on the PC Yes — ChipPC hardware lines
Energy / MTBF focus Varies by legacy PC Designed for low power & long life

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Qué PC son compatibles?
Cualquier PC x86/x64 con al menos 2 GB RAM y 16 GB de almacenamiento. La mayoría del hardware de escritorio y portátil corporativo de los últimos 8–10 años cumple los requisitos. Contacta con ChipPC para validar tus modelos específicos.
¿ThinX OS reemplaza Windows completamente?
Sí. ThinX OS es un entorno Linux bloqueado. Los usuarios se conectan a sus sesiones de Windows 11 o aplicaciones a través de Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon o RDP — el OS en el dispositivo permanece ligero y seguro.
¿Puedo gestionar PC convertidos junto con nuevos clientes ligeros?
Sí. Xcalibur Global gestiona todos los endpoints ThinX OS en una sola consola, independientemente de si el hardware subyacente es un cliente ligero ChipPC o un PC convertido.
¿Cómo se compara financieramente con la compra de nuevos clientes ligeros?
Usa el TCO Calculator para modelar tu escenario específico. En la mayoría de los casos, PC to TC ahorra CapEx en el año 1 mientras sigue ofreciendo las ventajas energéticas y de soporte de un despliegue de cliente ligero.
