BEETLE /NetPOS Scalable Thin Client Terminal
As in other sectors, ever fiercer competition together with the need for cost-effective IT solutions are driving the need to deploy new technologies in retailing. New server-centric solution concepts under Win32 or Linux are placing new demands on hardware and software. The aim of these new server-centric computing applications is to optimize the high costs of software distribution/maintenance and system administration, and thereby minimize TCO (total cost of ownership).
BEETLE /NetPOS is an intelligent scalable thin client system developed for these new server-centric network solutions which can be used either as an administration terminal for Java applications or as a Windows POS system with a touchscreen interface. The system offers an attractive design, a very small footprint and high availability at an optimum price/performance ratio. Extremely simple serviceability, a system unit requiring no fans, and the use of flash memory technology are features which optimize running costs and help keep the TCO for the POS system low.
Whether the Linux or Windows NT Embedded operating system, a flash memory module or hard disk users define how lean they want their system to be.
