Vardhaman Technology offers a year's free trial of Fusion RDi for use with NUCs

Mumbai-based Amit Rambhia, Director, Vardhaman Technology, has built an operating system platform for thin clients called Fusion RDi that allows the hardware to be managed more easily through centralised storage while allowing the capabilities of the hardware to be leveraged to the full.

Rambhia says Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) hardware concept has a lot of promise when paired with Fusion RDi.

"There are no moving parts, it is fanless. You can have no storage on the client, and still run full HD video," he said of the NUC, listing core banking, education, voice over IP, digital signage, and medical environments as some of the potential applications. "There is a lower initial cost. We need this in emerging markets."

According to the Fusion RDi website, the platform leverages multimedia capabilities of the end-point, typically a NUC, to the fullest. "Response times are minimal as all peripheral I/Os are local," the company states.

Vardhaman is offering a one year free trial of the Fusion RDi platform. Fusion RDi is already shipping in India, and images can be downloaded remotely. More information can be found here.
