Wyse Continues Innovation of Enterprise-Ready Client Virtualization with Client Software Designed to Minimize Datacenter Impact

Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced the newest version of its flagship operating system, Wyse Thin OS™.  Wyse Thin OS (WTOS) is the industry's most popular purpose-built thin client operating system - now with Wyse collaborative processing architecture (CPA), as well as increased security components, and compatibility with RDP 6.

CPA reduces the impact of enhanced user content like multimedia on the datacenter within client virtualization environments.  Wyse built CPA in response to customer feedback requesting ways to reduce the size of datacenters needed to support office workers.  CPA intelligently shifts high intensity activity like multimedia decoding from the server CPU to the thin client, reducing the CPU utilization, energy and heat generated by the datacenter servers, yet maximizing the user experience.

"These groundbreaking enhancements continue to make Wyse Thin OS the ideal choice for client virtualization.  With Wyse Thin OS, users stay ahead of the curve on user experience, server scalability and security," says Ricardo Antuna, VP, Business Development & Product Management.  "As our customers continue to push the envelope in the ways in which how they are deploying virtual clients, we’ll continue to innovate within standards to meet those needs."

Wyse Thin OS is the smallest, fastest and most secure purpose-built operating system for thin computing. Optimized for thin client devices, Wyse Thin OS 6.3 delivers new features and functionality that help end users maximize their investment in popular virtual client environments from Citrix Systems, Inc., Microsoft and VMware. 

Specific new features of Wyse Thin OS 6.3 include:

          Microsoft Terminal Server 2008 connectivity

          Support for RDP connections with 32 Bit Color & Font Smoothing

          Enhanced 802.1x Wireless Support with More EAP Types, including GTC

          Government FIPS (140-2) Encryption Support

          Support for latest CPA components (Sound, USB, multi-display, and multimedia)

          And many more

Wyse Thin OS 6.3 will be available in mid-December, 2008. For more information visit: http://www.wyse.com.au/products/software/os/
