Wyse Technology Increases Terminal Server Performance up to 40 Percent with New Wyse Expedian Software

Software Solution Supports Wyse's Strategy to Move Beyond Desktop Thin Clients; Wyse Expedian Significantly Increases User Capacity and Application Performance

San Jose, CA – 2003/01/20 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing (SCC), today introduced Wyse Expedian™, a performance and scalability enhancement software package for Microsoft Terminal Servers. Wyse Expedian software is part of a portfolio of products and services from Wyse that move the company beyond the desktop thin client market. Microsoft Terminal Servers typically run applications 30 to 40 percent faster when they are optimized by Wyse Expedian software. This benefit can be realized as a faster user experience, or it can be used to support more users on each server and reduce the total number of servers needed to provide employees with instant access to server-based information. As a result, enterprises can very easily reduce their hardware and software cost by tens of thousands of dollars.

"Customers continue to search for immediate, cost-effective ways to increase IT performance and the quality of their computing environment," said David Rand, director of corporate marketing at Wyse Technology. "Through our market leadership and solid product offerings, we help enterprises increase manageability and reduce costs, which is key in today's tight economy. We will continue to deliver products like Wyse Expedian software as the needs of our customers evolve."

Wyse Expedian software is ideal for enterprises adding users and applications to their server-centric environment or for enterprises looking to free up servers for other projects. This solution frees enough resources on the server so that a typical terminal server can support 30 to 40 percent more users. The software analyzes how components of applications conflict with each other in memory and then automatically and continuously manages the system to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, a control and reporting interface makes the software simple for IT staff to administer.

"Server-based software solutions are a critical part of any enterprise thin client deployment," said Bob O'Donnell, research director of device technology at analyst firm IDC. "To really leverage the ROI benefits of thin clients, companies need to maximize the efficiency of the servers supporting those devices."

"Although IT spending in general is still depressed, there are segments, especially those offering same-quarter ROI, that are doing well," said Jim Kenzig, network manager at Cuyahoga County Public Library, one of the nation's 10 busiest library systems. "Wyse Expedian generates results so rapidly that it is very easy to cost-justify even when IT budgets are being cut. I have personally seen the benefits of this software and it really does what it claims to do and pays for itself in a very short time."

Pricing and Availability

Wyse Expedian, which runs on all Windows 2000 and Windows NT Terminal Servers running Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame, is available from Wyse at an estimated customer price that ranges from $999 to $2999, depending on the number of processors in the server.
