Wyse Thin and Zero Client Computing
Wyse Cloud Client Computing includes solutions tailored for flexible and dedicated client requirements. Thin Computing delivers the productivity people need, at a lower cost than traditional methods, all without compromising security or manageability. Thin Computing replaces the PC with a thin client or zero client , making it easier for IT to manage user desktops by moving their complexity to the cloud, or a datacenter using desktop virtualization. Analysts agree that this approach improves the reliability and security of information, dramatically lowers IT costs, reduces energy consumption, and is far better for the environment. Yet Thin Computing still provides the access to applications and data that people need in order to move the business forward. All while improving on the security, reliability, and availability of PCs.
People often make the mistake of thinking that Thin Computing is just another name for thin-client computing. Actually, Thin Computing includes hardware services and software that work with thin clients, zero clients, and PCs, as well as wireless devices and other systems. It gives everybody in the organization secure access to the information and the applications they need, without requiring the desktop systems to store them. |

Why Now?
Today, as much as 80 percent of IT's budget is allocated to maintenance, making it very hard for any IT organization to add value to the business. Chief Information Officers have seen their titles evolve to Chief Infrastructure Officer, as they are totally consumed by the need to avoid regulatory problems and keep things running at the same time. Thin Computing not only reduces the cost to deliver desktop computing by as much as 40 percent or more, it also frees IT staff time to focus on more strategic initiatives.
| Additionally, the increased availability of high-bandwidth network connections and the sophistication of datacenter architectures based on Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware technologies and products allow Thin Computing solutions to run at desktop speeds, and display rich multimedia like never before. This makes it easier and more acceptable for business professionals to use thin clients in mission-critical applications. |

Thin Computing end points - thin clients versus zero clients
The majority of today’s thin clients have a small OS in them that provides flexible functionality to securely connect to multiple servers and display applications for workers. The small amount of software in these devices is why they’re called “thin” clients. Enterprises have successfully adopted this technology in the millions of units, and for some, there is an opportunity to make the desktop or mobile device even thinner – called a zero client.
Wyse zero clients bring a new option for accessing your environment. These devices are designed specifically for a single environment and provide substantial benefits in speed, management and security, energy and user experience. They provide optimized performance for the most challenging tasks, contain no local operating system, so they provide instant-on, little to no endpoint administration, and no vulnerability to viruses or malware. Wyse zero clients use very little energy, and deliver a zero compromise user experience.
Why Wyse?
Wyse is the worldwide leader in this space, offering thin and zero clients before anyone else. Wyse software makes it easy to provision, manage, accelerate or optimize the user experience, and even service a thin or zero client from one central location. After all, it's much easier and more cost-effective to manage several servers than thousands of individual desktop PCs. And with no moving parts, Wyse thin and zero clients deliver greater reliability, availability, and lower cost of ownership than other solutions.
