Local distributor for Wyse Winterm thin clients, iT Wise, is excited to announce that Wyse Technology, the domain expert in server-centric computing (SCC), announced today a new generation of advanced thin clients that are redefining the industry with sleek, compact, high-performance thin-client devices.
Wyse will unveil at the Citrix iForum conference in Orlando its next generation of product designs, the S and V classes of Winterm thin clients. The new families of products incorporate a streamlined and versatile set of features with fresh styling and space-saving form factors.
Based on highly efficient processors designed for embedded products and the latest in embedded operating systems and software, the new S class and V class of Winterm terminals are secure, managed, affordable and reliable - and offer a design that is functional and attractive.
"The new generation of Wyse devices are designed to perform, with the classic thin client deployment in mind," said Mike DeNeffe, senior director of the Winterm business line. "These new families of thin client products have significant features and functionality, along with a whole new contemporary, stylish look that will redefine the thin client industry as we know it."
The Wyse Winterm S class thin clients are streamlined, optimised devices about the size of a video tape cassette, employing an innovative monorail mounting system that is ideal for attaching the unit to a wall, desk or LCD monitor. Featuring AMD Geode GX processors, the Winterm S class delivers excellent processing performance with lower power usage and cooler operation within a diminutive, fan-less form factor. A fast, integrated video chipset translates into excellent video performance that reduces eyestrain and meets stringent European resolution and clinical healthcare requirements. The first S class thin client will be available in November.
The Wyse Winterm V class of thin clients deliver an efficient combination of high performance, low power, and integration and feature Transmeta`s Crusoe processor. The V class of Wyse Winterm products incorporate Crusoe benefits such as low power, high performance, fan-less design and LongRun technology to optimise speed. This new family of thin clients will be the platform for demanding enterprise deployments in the mid- and upper-range. Capable of CPUs from 800MHz to 1.1GHz, the V class features excellent video performance, a myriad of I/O connection options, and run on a number of operating systems. The first V class thin client will ship before the end of the year.
"The new S and V classes of products are addressing the needs of customers for thin clients that need small or zero footprint, yet feature optimised processing capabilities and functionality," added DeNeffe.
In addition to its next generation thin clients, Wyse is releasing two new classic versions of thin client devices running on Windows CE and Windows XP embedded operating systems. These new units offer improved performance and additional features compared to existing Wyse products.
