Quick answer: Use Xcalibur Global to manage ThinX OS fleets. Use XcaliburW to provision, monitor and assist Windows IoT / Windows endpoints. See the full software overview on Software.
Hardware selection is only half of a successful thin-client project. Without central management, every site becomes a snowflake — different passwords, different connection settings, slow break/fix. ChipPC provides two management paths so the tool matches the OS.
Xcalibur Global — built for ThinX fleets
Xcalibur Global is the management platform for ThinX OS endpoints and related browser / on-prem fleet control scenarios. Typical jobs include rolling out connection settings, keeping devices consistent across locations, and simplifying large ThinX estates.
- ThinX OS thin clients and selected platforms
- Policy and configuration at fleet scale
- Ideal when the desktop experience lives in Citrix / RDP / Omnissa Horizon
XcaliburW — built for Windows fleets
XcaliburW focuses on Windows endpoint management for ChipPC devices: provisioning, monitoring and remote assistance across sites. It fits Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC and Windows-oriented mini PC / thin-client deployments.
- Windows IoT and Windows Pro style fleets
- Operational visibility for distributed sites
- Helps partners and IT teams support devices without desk-side visits
Which one should you standardize on?
| Your standard OS | Management platform | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| ThinX OS | Xcalibur Global | Xcalibur Global |
| Windows 11 IoT / Windows | XcaliburW | XcaliburW |
| Mixed estate | Both (by device class) | Software hub |
Rollout tips that save support cost
- Freeze a golden configuration before the first 50 devices
- Align OS choice first — see By operating system
- Document Horizon / Citrix / Microsoft connection settings once, then clone
- Train L1 support on remote assistance workflows in the chosen Xcalibur product
- Review power and lifecycle goals on the Environmental page
FAQ
Can one console manage both ThinX and Windows?
ChipPC’s recommended model is to match the console to the OS family: Global for ThinX, XcaliburW for Windows. Mixed estates usually run both standards by device class.
Do I need management for a small pilot?
Even small pilots benefit from a managed golden image — it prevents configuration drift when you scale to production.
