New Moon Systems Inc. and Wyse Technology Inc. have agreed to work together to deliver New Moon Canaveral iQ(tm) Client Software on Wyse Winterm(tm) Windows(r)-powered thin-client devices. Enterprises now have more thin-client management choices than ever before when selecting products to centrally deploy and manage Windows-based applications.
New Moon Systems and Wyse Technology`s marketing alliance agreement will enable a richer server-based computing solution for users of Windows 2000 Terminal Services and Windows-powered thin clients. "Server-based computing leveraging thin-client desktops to access centrally deployed and managed applications is a proven solution for increasing security, streamlining business continuity and driving down the overall IT costs of an enterprise," said Brad Rowland, director of product management for Wyse Technology. "Offerings such as New Moon`s Canaveral iQ software, which expand the market and deliver new features and functionality for RDP-based thin-client environments, will help accelerate the growth of the thin-client market and expand Wyse`s market leadership position around the globe."
New Moon Canaveral iQ enhances the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Windows 2000 Terminal Services with value-added management capabilities that control access to and publish applications, load-balance application server farms and create a seamless end-user experience, all at an attractive price point. Historically, these value-added features were only available for Windows 2000 Terminal Services with additional Citrix MetaFrame software and the Citrix ICA protocol, at significant additional cost. Enterprises can now choose to use RDP along with Wyse`s products for growing thin-client deployments while enjoying the management features provided by the New Moon Canaveral iQ software.
"Windows-based terminals (WBTs), equipped with the Remote Desktop Protocol, are widely deployed in the enterprise in conjunction with Windows 2000 Terminal Services to simplify task-oriented access to Windows-based applications," said Dave Pollon, lead product manager in the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft. "The availability of support for New Moon`s Canaveral iQ in Wyse`s line of WBTs will offer our customers more flexibility and more functionality when deploying an RDP-based server-based computing environment."
"Skeptics have wondered if there`s room for another player within the server-based computing market," said Marc Lowe, president and chief executive officer of New Moon Systems. "With the recognition of Wyse Technology, we think that if there was a question, it has clearly been answered."
New Moon has agreed to make its Canaveral iQ client available for the Windows CE .NET, Windows NT Embedded 4.0 and Windows XP Embedded operating systems, enabling its integration with Wyse`s Windows-based thin-client devices. Wyse has agreed to make the New Moon Canaveral iQ Client Software available on the Wyse Web site for distribution to end-user customers of Wyse`s Winterm thin-client products. Customers interested in receiving more information about the products and their availability can call New Moon at 1-888-672-4866 or send an email to sales@newmoon.com.
