Wyse Enhances Ease of Use and Performance of Leading Device Management Software

Leader in Server-Centric Computing Sets New Standards for Managing Thin Clients and Other Network Devices with Wyse™ Rapport® V4.4

CITRIX IFORUM - Orlando, Fla. – 2004/10/04 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing (SCC), announced today an enhanced version of its leading Rapport device management software to address customer demand for increased functionality and ease of use. Wyse® Rapport™ V4.4 is an advanced version of a single software platform that allows network administrators to centrally manage and control a broad set of network devices - local and remote, from desktop and tablet thin clients to Palm and Pocket PC handheld devices, including PDAs, scanners, and other mobile devices.

Rapport simplifies IT management, reduces the total cost of ownership and improves the return on investment for network devices. The solution has set the industry standard for device management solutions for more than four years.

"Independent evaluations and industry analysis agree that Wyse Rapport is the most feature rich, flexible and scalable device management solution in the market today," said Craig Denney, Rapport Product Manager at Wyse. "Wyse Rapport V4.4 continues a tradition of leadership and again sets a new standard for device management solutions in terms of performance, management capabilities, and usability. The market is demanding a software solution that's even easier and more efficient to license, install and operate, and that's exactly what we're delivering in the new version of Rapport."

Rapport V4.4 includes easier license activation, faster installation, integration of the Wyse Imaging System, improved device discovery and more extensive user documentation. These new features allow network administrators to better manage their network devices, more efficiently deliver software updates to devices and improve user productivity using thin clients.

Rapport's device management solution features software distribution, including the deployment of firmware, operating systems, and applications, and asset management in the form of hardware and software inventory. Rapport also handles configuration management for systems and applications, as well as device diagnostics. The end result is easier deployment, remote troubleshooting capabilities, and lower support and maintenance costs within a scalable, multiple-device platform.

"Rapport V4.4 is part of Wyse's overall strategy to help customers adapt server-centric computing to their specific needs, from the server to the edge of the network," added Denney. Wyse Rapport V4.4 Workgroup edition will continue to be bundled with every Wyse® Winterm™ thin client, and the Enterprise edition upgrade is available immediately at the suggested retail price of $30.00.
