Wyse Technology has launched a product designed to
provide thin client users with a full-featured desktop PC
environment.
Ricardo Antuna, vice-president of product line management at
Wyse, said Wyse Streaming Manager (WSM) allowed IT administrators
to take advantage of the security, manageability and cost benefits
of thin computing while providing a rich user experience.
WSM uses Windows Server-based services that independently stream
the operating system and applications. It offers an image-creation
tool for IT administrators to create and deploy operating system
images, an application packager that allows IT administrators to
create and deploy application images, and a centralised web-based
interface.
The company is also collaborating with VMware to deliver
enhanced virtual desktop computing software. Wyse and VMware plan
to co-operative on joint engineering projects, customer
engagements, channel partner programs and marketing
initiatives.
As a key first phase of the collaboration, Wyse has joined the
VMware Community Source program and plans to integrate its Wyse
infrastructure deployment and management systems across its thin
client platform.
