Wyse Technology Partners with Ericom® Software for Text Terminal Emulation

Wyse Technology, the global leader in network-centric computing, today announced it has reached an agreement to provide Ericom Software's PowerTerm® terminal emulation on its new Windows and Linux-based Winterm™ thin clients.

Terminal emulation on Wyse's industry leading thin clients provides customers with the flexibility to access legacy applications, including those that reside on multiple back-end servers increasing user productivity and facilitating workflow. PowerTerm delivers this with a rich, user friendly interface that simplifies and extends host access functionality.

"Access to both legacy and current applications is a requirement for many enterprises today," said John Kish, CEO, Wyse Technology. "As part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality thin client solutions, Wyse has made the strategic decision to adopt Ericom's superior terminal emulation technology."

Ericom's PowerTerm terminal emulation products for thin clients are designed to provide a robust product with a compact footprint. PowerTerm delivers:

  • Powerful emulation performance with a fast screen refresh rate,
  • Task automation enabled by Ericom's comprehensive scripting language which eliminates repeated work,
  • Easy and fast adaptation and migration from terminal legacy environments to thin clients through Ericom's drag & drop graphical keyboard mapping functionality,
  • Smooth migration from terminal legacy environments to thin clients through the use of a full range of terminal fonts especially designed for this purpose.

According to Ericom Founder and CEO Eran Heyman, "We are delighted to be partnering with Wyse, the leader in thin-client technology. Together, Ericom and Wyse will be able to provide the market with a superbly cost effective and full-featured thin client. The benefit of the inclusion of PowerTerm in the Winterm thin client offering is Ericom's proven experience in providing comprehensive host connectivity solutions. We are confident that this partnership will enable Wyse to offer a uniquely robust thin client technology to the market."
