It is best used in combination with HP ThinState to distribute customizations to a group of thin clients when a full management solution such as HP Device Manager is not needed. HP ezUpdate also provides stateless mode support. In stateless mode, the thin client does not save any connection information or settings to the thin client. Instead, the thin client downloads a profile from an FTP server and starts up in a special RAM-only mode. When the thin client is turned off, all connection information and settings are erased, leaving no information on the thin client for a potential thief.
