“We are excited to introduce this latest generation of Zero Clients to the market,” said Doug Layne, CEO of ClearCube Technology. “Trusted Zero Clients offer the highest level of security and performance for organizations that need a secure endpoint for a ‘zero trust’ architecture. We have been directly involved in testing and feedback with HP, and our team has extensive experience setting up and using these devices. Our first-hand experience with these new devices is unrivaled, and we are ready to help more of our customers understand and begin to use this exciting new technology.”

The ClearCube CD7032/34T and CD8842/44T are built for security and performance. These devices offer a wide range of features, including:

• PCoIP Ultra technology for high-performance remote desktop access and secure pixel encryption transmission that create a terrific user experience while keeping data and processing in your data center or secure cloud
• Device verification that complies with NIST 800-207 Zero Trust Guidelines
• Factory-authenticated
• Continuous monitoring and easy remote management
• BIOS locked at the factory, all storage is encrypted, key components soldered to the board, Secure Boot is enabled
• CD7032/34T supports dual displays; CD8842/44T supports quad displays

Trusted Zero Clients come with a factory-installed “birth certificate” that allows them to connect to HP Anyware Trust Center for security verification of the hardware and software on the device and authorization to make its connection. The HP Anyware Trust Center repeatedly verifies the Trusted Zero Client’s hardware and software configuration throughout each connected session in accordance with “zero trust” principles. Trusted Zero Clients connect to a remote, host computer—physical or virtualized—via the HP Anyware software protocol utilizing PCoIP for secure and high-quality transmission of encrypted pixels rather than sending actual data back and forth.

Not all Trusted Zero Clients are equal in performance and functionality. In addition to their rugged housings and compatibility with ClearCube accessories, the ClearCube CD7032/34T and CD8842/44T Trusted Zero Clients are built to support PCoIP Ultra. This enables improved performance with graphics-intensive and compute-intensive workloads. This is possible because these models can automatically adjust to changes in network conditions to provide better user experience by balancing image fidelity, CPU utilization, and network efficiency by using multicore CPU scaling.
