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. Both stateless and
persistent modes of operation allow each desktop to automatically inherit profile or
image updates at power-on.
User Group Brokering
HP ThinConnect supports user group brokering by separating general settings from
user-specific settings. This allows user groups with different access needs to acquire
dedicated configurations.
HP research has indicated that user group brokering is handled more effectively
either by server-based connection broker software such HP Session Allocation
Manager (SAM), or by remote desktop management tools such as HP Device
Manager. HP recommends that you consider these utilities, or similar third party
products, to address your desktop brokering needs.
