Overview

  • Amazon has launched a new $195 thin client device, repurposing its Fire TV Cube hardware, to allow enterprise users to access virtual desktop environments like Amazon WorkSpaces over the internet.
  • The device is designed to lower IT spending by replacing more expensive desktops and laptops, offering a more cost-effective solution for businesses.
  • The thin client does not store data and only runs approved software deployed by IT, providing added security. If a device is lost or stolen, company data remains secure in the cloud.
  • The device's USB and HDMI ports support the connection of peripherals like dual monitors, a mouse, a keyboard, a camera, a headset, and more.
  • The devices will be sold through Amazon’s B2B marketplace and can be ordered pre-configured so customers can be up and running in about 5 minutes.
