communication, scalable RISC hardware and a built-in Web server which allows easy access and
management via any standard Web browser. The ThinServer™ technology makes it possible to connect
any electronic device to the network, thus providing “Access to everything”.
Today, Axis Communications is offering the ThinServer™ technology as well as the following major
ThinServer™ product lines consisting of:
