Fujitsu FUTRO S100 Thin Client VIA ULV Processors, VGA Out, Dual USB Connectors

So have you heard of VIA? We haven't really heard much mention of them
over the years either, especially when it comes to computer processors.
They seem to have flown under the radar in a market that has been
dominated in recent years by the likes of AMD and Intel. It would seem
that VIA is set to make an even bigger name for itself and it has chosen
the world of clients to make its formal debut. Fujitsu's latest
slim-line thin client the FUTRO S100 will contain VIA's Eden processors
and they hope it will have you taking note.

Fujitsu has announced that it will utilize VIA's Eden ultra-low voltage
(ULV) processor for its next generation FUTRO thin client series. The
Eden ULV processor will provide 500MHz of power with a low TDP of just
one watt. The FUTRO S100 is set to be the first in the line to feature
the chip. The FUTRO S100 is a virtual workplace solution that is touted
as silent thanks to its fanless construction.

VIA has decided to adopt a green marketing spin with its ULV chips
probably with the thought that the benefits in reduced power consumption
far outweigh any extra chip expense. The FUTRO S100 system uses only 11W
under full load. For a large enterprise that is looking to save money
and lower its carbon footprint this is a definite strong point.
The Fujitsu FUTRO S100 thin client is designed for server-based
computing and virtual workplace solutions. It contains no moving parts
and sports a VIA VX800 media system processor, two USB 2.0 sockets, a
VGA port, fast Ethernet and flash-based storage. There's also VIA's own
Chrome9 HC3 graphics set and compatibility with a range of server client
infrastructures including Linux-based eLux RL and eLux Lite, VMware,
Citrix and Windows CE 6.0. No pricing information is available as of yet
but you can find out more about the FUTRO S100 at ts.fujitsu.com/futro.
