We sometimes find that customers or potential customers ask, “What are the Differences Between a 10ZiG Modernized Zero Client and a 10ZiG Trusted Zero Client?”

So, let’s break things down a bit…

10ZiG Modernized Zero Client
(NOS™)

Modernized Zero Client’ is a secure, flexible, and managed Zero Client. Lower costs and no subscription fees make the 10ZiG Modernized Zero Client line quite appealing, as it serves an entire range of end users from task workers to power users in various form factors – standalone, mobile (laptop), and All-in-Ones. NOS™ (Modernized Zero Client OS) is a VDI/DaaS specific, Linux-based OS designed for a single connection to either an Omnissa (Horizon/Workspace One), Citrix (Virtual Apps or Desktops), or Microsoft (AVD, W365, RDP) environment. The purpose-built and highly secure offering allows for very fast and easy configuration to a VDI/DaaS environment and requires minimal ongoing management and upkeep achieved by limiting the number of connections to only one yet is firmware-interchangeable. Modern hybrid work/remote users are well served with the use of central management via FREE cloud-ready 10ZiG Manager and secure Zero Clients with minimal local dependencies built with Teams, Zoom, WebEx, and conferencing support in mind. As part of 10ZiG’s zero trust policy, Modernized Zero Clients offer a security framework that verifies every device before granting access, rather than trusting anything inside or outside the network perimeter. This policy is implemented through the 10ZiG Manager Zero Trust ecOSystem, which includes hardware, operating systems, and management software.

10ZiG Trusted Zero Client
(HP Anyware)

Trusted Zero Client’ is a Zero Client focused on a bit-exact, color-accurate, build-to-lossless, and distortion-free remote user experience with zero trust architecture security features founded on zero-trust principles and managed by Anyware Trust Center. Henceforth the name, Trusted Zero Client  – Anyware Trust Center. Taking advantage of the latest PCoIP protocol features and improved PCoIP Ultra performance, Trusted Zero Clients connect to HP Anyware, Amazon Workspaces, or Omnissa Horizon via Blast Extreme in addition to PCoIP Ultra. Each Trusted Zero Client includes the first year of the Anyware Trust Center Subscription – a subscription to enable enhanced Trust Center features, allowing the Trusted Zero Client to be configured and managed. In addition, to access to firmware updates as well as support from HP. A subscription for subsequent years is available for a fee. The fully free, easy-to-use endpoint management software suite (10ZiG Manager) is also offered to customers using 10ZiG Trusted Zero Client endpoints, 10ZiG Modernized Thin & Zero Clients, as well as 10ZiG Repurposed hardware.
