Fujitsu offers USB zero client

Fujitsu is planning to offer a version of its zero client computing platform on a USB memory stick, notes V3.co.uk.

The company says the portable zero client MZ900 system would place the zero client software on a read-only partition of the disc, which would allow users to run any PC as a hosted workstation.

The software on the thumb drives allows computers to remotely access virtualised workstation images on any PC with a network connection, the company says.

Starting next month, doctors at Mid Coast Hospital will be able to transmit CT scans to neurologists at Maine Medical Centre in Portland and have real-time consultations over a secure network called Telestroke, says Portland Press Herald.

This advance in telemedicine is an example of the communication benefits expected to come from the Three Ring Binder, a 1 100-mile highway of high-speed Internet lines being strung around Maine.

The first five miles of the fibre-optic network are now live along Route One, and Mid Coast Hospital is the first so-called anchor institution to hook up.

Korenix has released the new JetNet 3710G series Industrial POE switch with 8 POE and 2Gb ports specifically designed for large-scale surveillance and video networking applications where high-speed connectivity is required for megapixel video transmission, writes Security Park.

With 8 POE ports, the switches are for solutions in large surveillance networks, which are capable of powering cameras with up to 15.4 watts of power and simultaneously ensuring the high-bandwidth uplink transmission through dual gigabit ports.

With the QOS and fault alert functionality in addition to the design with -25~70^0C wide operating temperature, the company maintains the switches ensure highest quality and non-stop video streaming under tough conditions of the surveillance networks.
