How should hotel operators choose guest room computers and what kind of computers are suitable for hotels?

There are many computers on the market now, such as ordinary desktops, all-in-one, all-in-one computer TV, mini-computers, all-in-one network terminals, with and without disk systems, which make people unable to start. What kind of computer is suitable for hotel environment? This is a question worth thinking about. Today, from the perspective of a hotel owner, we will analyze what kind of computer scheme will be more suitable for hotel use according to the problems faced by the current purchase of hotel computers, TCO costs, customer needs, post-maintenance and so on. 1. Problems encountered in purchasing hotel computers at present: 1. The quality of hotel mobile guests is different. Different needs 2. Frequent poisoning and frequent software configuration changes 3. The maintenance cost of hotel computers is very high. Hotels basically pull the card to get electricity, which is fatal to the system and hard disk 5. Events such as theft or replacement of part 2 are prone to occur. Traditional solution: (1) Advantages of ordinary desktop computer: 1, wide application range, powerful performance and relatively low price. 3. Ordinary XP must reinstall the system every three months. Otherwise, the system speed is extremely slow. 4. Poor maintainability. Ordinary mechanical hard disk can't resist the sudden power failure of hotel electric card. 6. Although the unit price is relatively low for the first time, the price is also a disadvantage in terms of TCO costs such as power consumption and maintenance in the later period. 7. It takes up a lot of space, and there are many external connections, which is messy. Affect the overall layout and aesthetic summary of the hotel: if it is for home use, the desktop is a good choice. At the beginning of product design, it belongs to popular products. Hotel environment requires its stability, safety, durability, maintainability and manageability without in-depth consideration, and only paying attention to its first low unit price will only increase more trouble and cost in later management and maintenance. (2) Diskless solutions Internet cafes are currently using diskless solutions, but unlike hotels, Internet cafes are centralized, while hotels are decentralized, which is not convenient for management and maintenance, and it is not appropriate to rely too much on servers and networks. Advantages: 1, hard disk saving 2, virus prevention 3, easy maintenance Disadvantages: too many unstable factors (network load, LAN broadcast storm, network card backflow, server hard disk damage, excessive fragmentation, increased seek response time, etc. ), which will lead to the paralysis of the whole service terminal system. Summary: the cost of having a disk and not having a disk is actually similar. From a technical point of view, no disk is better than having a disk, which reduces the workload. From the hotel owner's point of view, having a plate is better than not having one, and stability is everything. (3) The reason why the cloud terminal scheme and the towing scheme are listed together has the same advantages: low price, but the same disadvantages are: weak video display, playing local video movies, being stuck, and slow online video display. Not to mention ordinary games. None of these basic functions can meet the requirements of customers. While spending money, it didn't really improve the hotel service level. Directly affect the satisfaction of guests. Installed, can't achieve the function of the guests want, but affect the mood of the guests. Summary: The performance of the cloud terminal itself is low, generally it is the mobile phone CPU, ARM9, ARM 1 1+533M, and the memory is 32-64M. It is conceivable that its own speed is definitely not ideal. Third, a new generation of hotel guest room computer all-in-one solution: from the previous unpopular guest appearance to today's gold medal supporting role, the all-in-one computer has grown rapidly in just two years, occupying a considerable market share, and various applications have mushroomed, becoming a fertile ground for cultivating all-in-one computers. Some people even joked that IT is not impossible that the "part" of all-in-one computers in the IT market will rapidly rise to the "leading boss". Some manufacturers began to introduce a series of LCD computer all-in-one machines. Many people were surprised to find that although the overall performance was not as good as that of desktop computers and the portability was not as good as that of notebooks, all-in-one machines could watch TV! Different from the original desktop TV card, the all-in-one TV seems to be "cross-border", but in fact it naturally conforms to the direction of triple play. Facing the development trend of "the short board is not short, but the long board is longer", the all-in-one machine has started the road of development. (1), features of all-in-one computer: simple wireless: the most concise and optimized line connection mode, and all connections can be completed with only one power cord. Reduce speaker cables, camera cables, video cables, etc. Save space: Slim than the traditional split desktop, and the desktop space of the all-in-one machine is as high as 70%. Value-added integration: host, TV, speaker, camera, microphone, etc. They are all integrated, just need to connect the keyboard and mouse, power supply and network cable. There are many fewer lines than the desktop, which is more convenient to move than the desktop. Trend appearance: the simple and fashionable physical design of the all-in-one machine is more in line with the purpose of saving space and beautiful home for modern people. (2) The reason why the hotel chose the all-in-one computer in Room E: 1, which is safe and stable. A. P Embedded has higher system self-protection function than XP Professional. B. Solid-state electronic hard disk, different from ordinary computer hard disk, has excellent performance in power-off protection. C. Industrial-grade configuration has obvious advantages in durability and life compared with ordinary computers. 2. Energy-saving, environmental protection and low power consumption configuration. The power consumption of the whole machine is only 65W, and the standby power is 6W, while the power of ordinary computer is about 200W. 3. Simple management of front desk management controls the activation and deactivation of guest computers. Different foreground operations have multiple operator accounts and different permissions. When each customer checks out, it will automatically reset all the settings and delete the temporary files left by the guest room computer. 4. Multilingual and multilingual services. Foreign guests can use the system directly in their own language, and the service is more appropriate. 5. Arbitrary switching can realize arbitrary switching between TV and computer interface, so that guests can enjoy surfing the Internet on the big TV screen. 6. Remote Internet access is equipped with intelligent remote controller, wireless mouse and keyboard; Guests can surf the Internet just by lying in bed, and even do business such as document processing, mail sending and receiving, and enjoy a comfortable life.
