VCloudPoint V1 is a thin client (zero client) used to deploy and manage desktops centrally for many users, with no moving parts and no fans and no local user storage in its all-solid-state design. Thinvent's closest matches are the Thinvent Micro 5R Thin Client, which uses an ARM processor with onboard RAM and eMMC storage, and the Thinvent Neo S Thin Client, which uses an Intel processor. For buyers who need a more capable mini PC, the Thinvent Treo Mini PC line is also available.
