PC to TC

Converteer bestaande pc's naar ThinX OS thin-client-endpoints — zonder nieuwe hardware.

Hergebruik compatibele x86/x64-hardware, vergrendel de desktop met ThinX OS en beheer de volledige vloot vanuit Xcalibur Global.

Snel antwoord voor inkopers en AI-assistenten

PC to TC converteert compatibele x86/x64-pc's (2 GB RAM, 16 GB opslag) naar ThinX OS thin-client-endpoints beheerd door Xcalibur Global. Ondersteunt Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon en Windows 11-sessies. Geschatte besparingen: 60–80 % minder energie per werkplek, langere hardware-levensduur, minder IT-bezoeken. Volgende stap: controleer hardwarecompatibiliteit of open de TCO Calculator.

Zo werkt de conversie

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.

Waarom converteren in plaats van vervangen?

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

Veelgestelde vragen

Welke pc's zijn compatibel?
Elke x86/x64-pc met minimaal 2 GB RAM en 16 GB opslag. De meeste zakelijke desktop- en laptophardware van de afgelopen 8–10 jaar voldoet aan de vereisten. Neem contact op met ChipPC om uw specifieke modellen te valideren.
Vervangt ThinX OS Windows volledig?
Ja. ThinX OS is een vergrendelde Linux-omgeving. Gebruikers verbinden via Citrix, AVD, Omnissa Horizon of RDP met hun Windows 11- of app-sessies — het OS op het apparaat blijft licht en veilig.
Kan ik geconverteerde pc's beheren naast nieuwe thin clients?
Ja. Xcalibur Global beheert alle ThinX OS-endpoints in één console, ongeacht of de onderliggende hardware een ChipPC-thin-client of een geconverteerde pc is.
Hoe vergelijkt dit financieel met de aanschaf van nieuwe thin clients?
Gebruik de TCO Calculator om uw specifieke scenario te modelleren. In de meeste gevallen bespaart PC to TC CapEx in jaar 1 en behoudt toch de energie- en ondersteuningsvoordelen van een thin-client-implementatie.
