Wyse Launches Industry's Fastest, Sleekest New Thin Client

New Wyse Thin Client handles communications, press room and registration for over 3,000 conference attendees at Citrix iForum Global 2005

Las Vegas, Nev. – 2005/10/10 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in Thin Computing, today announced the availability of the Wyse S10 thin client, the newest and most powerful thin-client solution designed for the Citrix Access Suite.  The Wyse S10 joins the Wyse S-class family of ultra-compact thin clients, designed for customers who require simple and straightforward thin computing in a sleek, compact form factor.

By leveraging the new 5.0 version of Wyse Thin OS, formerly known as Wyse Blazer, the Wyse S10 achieves high scores on performance benchmarks for applications connected to a Citrix Presentation Server. Performance benchmarks suggest that the S10 runs faster than most high-end competitive thin clients and up to 16 times faster than Linux-based thin clients – at a fraction of the cost.*   

As a result, end users can utilize the Wyse S10 to access the familiar Microsoft Windows platform with virtually no performance loss, while IT departments gain the security, reliability and control that come with choosing Wyse Thin Clients.

"As more businesses choose the Citrix Access Platform and the power of secure, on-demand access to corporate applications, the demand for higher performance, cost-effective and superbly designed devices is growing strongly," said David Jones, Corporate Vice President, Business Development and Corporate Affairs, Citrix. "Wyse Technology, as a long-standing, strategic Citrix partner, offers a complete range of state-of-the-art access devices. The S10 raises the bar to new levels of functionality and value, greatly improving both the user experience and overall ROI model for our mutual customers."

Beta trials with long-term Wyse customers such as Fastenal, an industrial and construction supply company, have revealed strong interest in the Wyse S10’s performance and reliability.

"Deploying a thin computing architecture has given Fastenal significant cost advantages compared to our competitors.  Over the years, Wyse Thin Clients have delivered excellent performance and reliability, and our initial impressions of the new Wyse S10 and Wyse Thin OS are very positive," said Al Rothering, Tech Support Lead, Fastenal.

The new Wyse S10 with the new Wyse Thin OS 5.0 delivers exceptional performance including:

• Multiple sessions with seamless windows
• Appliance-like plug-and-play installation and configuration
• Straightforward client imaging that requires only a standard FTP server
• Fully stateless operation with no data stored locally
  

"Wyse’s new S10 thin client is an important advancement for businesses implementing thin computing environments," said Ricardo Antuna, Vice President of Business Line Management, Wyse Technology. "Our customers are demanding true PC performance and interactivity with the security, manageability, reliability and TCO benefits afforded by traditional thin clients.  Using the Wyse model S10 as the access vehicle to Citrix’s Access Suite elegantly achieves this objective."

Wyse S10 systems are powered by Geode microprocessors from AMD and deliver an optimal balance of cost and performance, allowing the S10 to maximize ROI and payback for customers selecting thin clients for their thin computing infrastructure. 

"Our long-term collaboration with Wyse is enabling innovative thin computing solutions for users worldwide, providing a range of options for both the enterprise and high-growth nation markets," said Erik Salo, Director of Marketing, AMD Microprocessor Solutions Sector Embedded Group. "Based on AMD’s high-performance, low power AMD Geode GX processors, the Wyse S10 thin client provides users with exceptional computing capabilities and performance."

At the Citrix iForum Global 2005 event, in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Wyse S10 is showcased at Wyse's Exhibition Booth # 211.  The Wyse S10 will be generally available in December 2005.
