What
is an All-in-one PC?
The earliest form of computer
displays were large cathode ray tubes. Due
to the size of the displays, computer systems
were comprised of three key components:
the monitor, the computer case and the input
devices. As the size of the monitors decreased,
computer companies started to integrate
the computer case into the monitor to create
an all-in-one. These first all-in-one computer
systems were still quite large and generally
cost a fair amount compared to a standard
computer setup.
The most successful of
the all-in-one personal computers was the
Apple iMac. The original design used the
cathode ray monitor with the computer boards
and components integrated below the tube.
Many similar designed were developed by
PC manufacturers, but they didn't catch
on. With the advent of LCD monitors for
displays, the size of the all-in-one computer
system has decreased dramatically. Now the
computer components can be easily integrated
behind the LCD panel or in the base of the
display.

Clients & Thin Stations
ThinPC
Thin Clients
The power of a PC, without
the complexity. ThinPC thin clients are
compact, energy efficient and productive
desktops with all the dynamic user-experience
of a PC — without the day-to-day complexities
and risks associated with one.
ThinPC thin clients have
no moving parts. Their service lives are
extended beyond those of comparable PCs
and the noise from fans and hard drives
is eliminated. Better still, their low power
consumption means low-heat output enabling
comfortable working environments with a
reduced dependence on costly carbon-heavy
air conditioning — often leaving workplace
cooling achievable through natural ventilation.

| Point
of Sales Solutions
Point
of sale (POS) or checkout
is the location where a transaction occurs.
A "checkout" refers to a POS terminal
or more generally to the hardware andsoftware
used for checkouts, the equivalent of an
electronic cash register.
A POS terminal manages
the selling process by a salesperson accessible
interface. The same system allows the creation
and printing of the receipt.

| Kiosk
& Touch Screen Solutions
Kiosk
is a small, separated garden pavilion open
on some or all sides. Kiosks were common
in Persia,India, Pakistan, and in the Ottoman
Empire from the 13th century onward. Today,
there are many kiosks in and around the
Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, and they are
still a relatively common sight in Greece.
In the Western hemisphere
and in English-speaking countries, a kiosk
is also a booth with an open window on one
side. Some vendors operate from kiosks (see
mall kiosk), selling small, inexpensive
consumables such as newspapers, magazines,
lighters, street maps, cigarettes, and confections.
An information kiosk (or
information booth) dispenses free information
in the form of maps, pamphlets, and other
literature, and/or advice offered by an
attendant.
An electronic kiosk (or
computer kiosk or interactive kiosk) houses
a computer terminal that often employs custom
kiosk software designed to function flawlessly
while preventing users from accessing system
functions. Indeed, kiosk mode describes
such a mode of software operation. Computerized
kiosks may store data locally, or retrieve
it from a computer network. Some computer
kiosks provide a free, informational public
service, while others serve a commercial
purpose (see mall kiosk).Touchscreens, trackballs,
computer keyboards, and pushbuttons are
all typical input devices forinteractive
computer kiosk.

| Video
Conferencing System
A videoconference
or video conference
(also known as a videoteleconference) is
a set of interactive telecommunication technologies
which allow two or more locations to interact
via two-way video and audio transmissions
simultaneously. It has also been called
'visual collaboration' and is a type of
groupware.
Videoconferencing differs
from videophone calls in that it's designed
to serve a conference rather than individuals.
It is an intermediate form of videotelephony,
first deployed commercially by AT&Tduring
the early 1970s using their Picturephone
technology.

| HTPC
(Home Entertainment Multimedia PC)
A Home
Theater PC (HTPC) or Media
Center applicance is a convergence
device that combines some or all the capabilities
of a personal computer with a software application
that supports video, photo, and music playback,
and sometimes digital video recorder functionality.
In recent years, other types of consumer
electronics, including gaming systems and
dedicated media devices have crossed over
to manage video and music content. The term
"media center" also refers to
specialized application software designed
to run on standard personal computer.
An HTPC and other convergence
devices integrate many or all components
of a home theater into a single unit co-located
with a home entertainment system. An HTPC
system typically has a remote control and
the software interface normally has a 10-foot
user interface design so that it can be
comfortably viewed at typical television
viewing distances. An HTPC can either be
purchased pre-configured with the required
hardware and software needed to add television
programming to the PC, or can be cobbled
together out of discrete components as is
commonly done with software based HTPC setups.

| Backup
& Storage Solution
In Information Technology,
a backup
or the process of backing
up refers to making copies
of data so that these additional copies
may be used to restore the original after
a data loss event. The verb is back up in
two words, whereas the noun is backup (often
used like an adjective in compound nouns).
Backups are useful primarily
for two purposes. The first is to restore
a state following a disaster (called disaster
recovery). The second is to restore small
numbers of files after they have been accidentally
deleted or corrupted. Data loss is also
very common. 67% of internet users have
suffered from serious data loss.[2]
Since a backup system contains
at least one copy of all data worth saving,
the data storage requirements are considerable.
Organizing this storage space and managing
the backup process is a complicated undertaking.
A data repository model can be used to provide
structure to the storage. In the modern
era of computing there are many different
types of data storage devices that are useful
for making backups. There are also many
different ways in which these devices can
be arranged to provide geographic redundancy,
data security, and portability.

Signage Solution
Digital
signage is a form of electronic
display that shows information, advertising
and other messages. Digital signs (such
as LCD, LED, plasma displays, or projected
images) can be found in public and private
environments, such as retail stores and
corporate buildings.
Digital Signage Displays
are most usually controlled by basic Personal
Computers by way of proprietary software
programs, avoiding any large capital outlays
for the controller equipment.
Advertising using digital
signage is a form of out-of-home advertising
in which content and messages are displayed
on digital signs with a common goal of delivering
targeted messages to specific locations
at specific times. This is often called
"digital out of home" or abbreviated
as DOOH.
The benefits of digital signage over static
signs, in situations where changing signs
are preferred over static signs, are that
the content can be exchanged more easily,
animations can be shown, and the signs can
adapt to the context and audience, even
interactively. Digital signage can offer
superior return on investment compared to
temporary and/or promotional signs made
from other substrates

| Mini
ITX Motherboards
Mini-ITX
is a 17 x 17 cm (or 6.7 x 6.7 inches) low-power
motherboard form factor developed by VIA
Technologies[1]. Mini-ITX is slightly smaller
than microATX. Mini-ITX boards can often
be passively cooled due to their low power
consumption architecture, which makes them
useful for home theater PC systems, Thin
clients where fan noise can detract from
the cinema experience. Beside that specific
application, they are commonly used in small
form factor (SFF) computer systems. The
four mounting holes in a mini-ITX board
line up with four of the holes in ATX-specification
motherboards, and the locations of the backplate
and expansion slot are the same (though
one of the holes used was optional in earlier
versions of the ATX spec). Mini-ITX boards
can therefore often be used in cases designed
for ATX, micro-ATX and other ATX variants
if desired.
The form factor has provision
for one expansion slot. Conventionally this
is a standard 33 MHz 5V 32-bit PCI slot.
Many case designs use riser cards and some
even have two-slot riser cards, although
the two-slot riser cards are not compatible
with all boards. Some boards based around
non-x86 processors have a 3.3V PCI slot,
and some newer boards have a PCI-express
x16 slot; these boards are not compatible
with the standard PCI riser cards supplied
with cases.

Form Factor Casings, Enclosures, Computer
Cabinet, Mini ITX Casing, SFF Casings
Small
Form Factor (SFF) computer
systems are smaller than traditional mini-towers.
SFFs include cubes, book-sized PCs and miniature
Home Theater PCs (HTPC). SFF originally
referred to systems smaller than the Micro-ATX.
The term SFF is used in contrast with terms
for larger systems such as "mini-towers"
and "desktops."
The acronym SFF originally stood for "Shuttle
Form Factor," describing shoebox-sized
personal computers with two expansion slots.
The phrase Small Form Factor does not refer
to standard form factors, as the phrase
computer form factor does. Computer form
factors are established standards for the
physical dimensions of computer system components
(e.g., IBM PC compatible components) to
ensure they are interchangeable regardless
of the vendor or the generation of technology.
Because SFFs such as mini-computers and
home theater boxes use proprietary motherboards
and other components without industry-standard
dimensions, "form factor" is technically
a misnomer.
Designed to minimize spatial
volume, SFFs are usually measured in litres.
The phrase "small form factor"
does not include traditionally small computing
systems such as embedded or mobile systems.
However, "small form factor" lacks
a normative definition and is consequently
misappropriated as a buzzword due to its
growing popularity. Manufacturers often
provide self-serving definitions.
