Slim and quiet design C75 is feather light weithing only 350g. The slim desitn allows it to be mounted to the back of a monitor with a VESA mount. Together with its fanless design, c75 helps create a simple and noiseless workplace environment.
Simple setup Just attach a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to your c75, connect it to the host server, and then perform the initial setup. A station is ready for use right away. Easy management and maintenance Since all computing tasks are performed on a server,all hardware and software issues are sighificantly reduced on the client side. All user management, software installations, system management, and upgrades are done on a single server.
