The Linear E3-Series Advantage: Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Long-term, total cost of ownership of an eMerge E3 system is signicantly lower than many
similar products. Users can realize signicant cost reductions when compared to traditional
access systems:
How eMerge E3-Series Lowers Your Total Cost:
• Browser-based access system is faster to setup, simpler to maintain
• Embedded Linux Operating System (O/S)
- MVP (Minimized Virus Potential)
- No Microsoft update dependancies
• Independent network, server, and dedicated workstation hardware are not required
• Includes SQL database engine; no add-on database software licenses required
• No client licenses to load
• Common hardware installation reduces hardware training and inventory cost
• Common software user interface reduces training costs as systems are migrated
to more powerful models
• Open platform allows for cost-effective integration with other technologies
PC-based access servers fail, due to moving hard drives. Competitive models will typically require
hard drive and server software replacement at least once over the life of their systems
The E3-Series browserbased access system
saves time and money!
