Tarsus Technologies, main supplier of Wyse thin-client devices in southern Africa, has further reason to smile, following the announcement of Wyse Technology`s continued leadership in the thin-client computing market.
According to the first quarter 2006 report published by IDC entitled "Enterprise Thin-Client Q-View", Wyse has once again secured the leading market share worldwide.
Citing statistics from the Q1 report, Arno`t van Heerden, country manager at Wyse Technology South Africa, says: "IDC figures show the thin-client computing industry growing at close to 45% in the first quarter of this year. Throughout this growth phase, Wyse has managed to keep a leadership position, boasting a 44% market share in the US, 35% in Asia Pacific and 27% in Western Europe.
Ismail Kippie, Wyse product manager at Tarsus Technologies, adds: "Given the ever-rising management costs and the need to comply with regulatory guidelines, IT organisations are continuously hard-pressed to have greater control over their desktops. The Wyse thin-computing solution, with its industry-leading thin-clients and management and deployment software suite, is providing IT managers with the tools to easily deploy thin-clients and devices throughout their organisations. As an additional customer resource, Tarsus is also geared to assist resellers assemble the best types of solution for their customers` needs."
Kippie believes Wyse`s growth in the thin-client market can also be attributed to the fact that it makes economic and organisational sense.
"IT departments want to reduce cost and risk, while delivering an infrastructure that`s always on, but never seen," he says. "Our commitment is to continue to give our customers the easiest to manage, most secure desktop solution available anywhere.
"With that commitment, there`s no reason why Wyse shouldn`t maintain the leadership position and see continued growth within the market in general," Van Heerden concludes.
