A healthcare customer states "We are deploying Microsoft, we are less concerned with cost, and we deploy robust custom applications." What is the best HP client virtualization product choice in this…

Question

Options

• AHP Device Manager
• BHP Smart Zero Clients
• CHP Flexible thin clients
• DHP Zero Clients

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  16% (5)
• C
  75% (24)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

HP Flexible thin clients are the correct choice because they run a full Windows-based OS, making them naturally suited for Microsoft environments, and they support locally-installed custom applications - something zero clients fundamentally cannot do. The customer's lower cost sensitivity also makes the pricier flexible thin client a non-issue.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (HP Device Manager) is a management tool for administering thin client fleets, not a client device product - it doesn't belong in this comparison at all.
• B (HP Smart Zero Clients) are protocol-optimized and offer limited flexibility; they cannot run robust custom applications outside their VDI session.
• D (HP Zero Clients) have no local OS, so custom application deployment is impossible; they're also best paired with specific protocols like PCoIP/VMware, not general Microsoft environments.

Memory tip: The word "Flexible" is the giveaway - whenever you see custom applications + Microsoft + cost not a concern, map it to Flexible thin clients because only a full local OS gives you that flexibility. Zero = zero local apps.
