HP has expanded its thin client portfolio offering with gt7720, t5730w and t5630w, as well as making Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Remote Graphics Software (RGS) available. The addition of HP Client Automation support also helps administrators set alerts to identify potential issues before they happen.

HP thin clients feature Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, as well as Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol 6.1. HP client automation allows customers to manage both physical and virtual clients with a single solution and a common methodology.
