  • Page 3: Why Choose Hp Thinpro Over Hp Thinconnect For The Hp T5145 Thin Client

    Why Choose HP ThinPro over HP ThinConnect for the HP t5145 Thin Client? Improved GUI Experience The HP ThinPro GUI was built around a Control Center console to provide dashboard access to all user and administrative touch points. The initial view defaults to a Connection Manager layer with single click access to either a Control Panel or a System Information page.

  • Page 4: Stateless Architecture

    Stateless Architecture While HP ThinPro supports a convenient stateless mode of operation, it does not support the granularity found in HP ThinConnect. For example, HP ThinConnect enables the administrator to selectively choose which settings can be preserved locally and which settings are retained on an FTP repository. HP ThinPro takes a different approach, allowing administrators to choose either a fully stateless mode where settings are retained on an FTP repository, or a persistent mode (recommended) where settings are preserved locally.
