You have heard all the success stories around virtualization and cloud computing and the tremendous value it holds, you may even have applied virtualization technologies in various areas within your organization, but it seems it has never been available at POS……Why? Well, a big part of the why, is that the end user devises typically used to deploy virtualized environments, were never suitable to drive a POS terminal, plus the overarching need within retail to have local resiliency at the POS to maximize up time by eliminating any external elements affecting the ability of the POS to conduct POS transactions.

 The MRT-WCR tackles these issues head on. Utilizing the virtualized POS environment infrastructure incorporated within all of Pippards Virtualized POS family of products , Pippard has married the virtualized infrastructure with the leading thin client technology provider, Wyse Technology, to deliver the industries first fully integrated thin client based POS register.

Designed to take full advantage of thin computing technology, the MRT-WCR integrates with Virtualization Technology from Citrix, Microsoft, VMWare and Wyse, while also offering the option for local POS resiliency. The combination allows retailers to take full advantage of the central management, devise control, asset tracking and superior data security of the thin computing world and have local off-line capabilities required for some retail environments.

By incorporating the thin computing technology within POS and deploying it within the Pippard Perfected Warranty process, the MRT-WCR offers an exceptional value proposition. In separate studies by both Gartner research and IDC, they report that thin computing technology delivers a

                                  •           40% Reduction in HW and SW costs

•           29% reduction in IT operations costs

•           88% reduction in worker down time

•           78% increase in IT staff productivity

when compared to traditional PC based infrastructures. Combining these savings with Pippards strong value proposition of delivering a 25-30% reduction in TCO for the lifecycle of owning your POS system, which is based on traditional PC based POS registers, the thin client based POS register will offer an even superior value proposition.
