KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Devon IT, Inc., an alternative desktop solution company and the fastest growing provider of thin client terminals, today announced it will debut its ultra-small TC2 thin client at VMworld 2008 (booth 360) at The Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas from September 15-18.

We are excited to showcase the TC2, the industry’s smallest thin client, at VMworld.”

“We are listing this at $189 and we are bundling in our new and improved management stack for free,” noted Makoid. “Coupled with virtualization technologies, the TC2 provides the enterprise-wide benefits hosted client solutions provide, including improved security, centralized management, and lower total cost of ownership. We are excited to showcase this new technology at VMworld.”
