Why Choose HP ThinPro over HP ThinConnect for

the HP t5145 Thin Client?

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.

The Connection Manager layer was designed to better integrate traditional

connection types with newer ones, such as VDI brokers, into one menu with shared

access to all settings. This will reduce the number of hops into different areas of the

interface while providing the administrator with immediate visual feedback from

one centralized view.

HP ThinPro has the ability to accept modular software updates called add-ons,

while protecting critical parts of the file system from exposure. These add-ons allow

HP to deliver low bandwidth component updates from supported third-party

vendors as they become generally available to the public. Another benefit to add-

on support is having the ability to quickly deliver quality improvements in-between

image release dates.

HP ThinPro includes a Citrix utility which enables a dedicated full screen

XenDesktop/XenApp experience. Once enabled, every boot will deliver a premium

XenDesktop/XenApp experience in a controlled environment to reduce desktop

complexity.

It is important to understand that HP ThinPro is an alternative to HP ThinConnect on

the t5145 hardware platform, but it is not designed to be a direct replacement with

100% functional parity. While the two operating systems were built with very

similar objectives, they are not functionally equal. Below is a list of HP ThinConnect

functions which are not equally supported in HP ThinPro.
