Thin Client

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyse Technology, the global
leader in Thin Computing, today announced the availability of the new Wyse
V-Class Dual-Video family of thin computers with advanced display
capabilities.
Thin computing is being selected for increasingly demanding
applications, creating demand for a desktop with advanced display handling
capabilities, yet retaining the small size and power consumption attributes
of thin computers. Responding to this need, Wyse introduces the V-Class
Dual-Video family, which supports high-resolution displays and the option
to connect two displays simultaneously. This extends the work productivity,
security, reliability, and affordability of thin computing to
data-intensive environments such as document management, financial
services, medical care, and research industries. Designed for use with
Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix Presentation Server, VMware, web-based,
and full-function streaming environments, the V-Class Dual-Video includes
dual-monitor window management allowing the user to take full advantage of
two monitors in a remote-computing environment.
"The new V-Class Dual-Video family addresses the requirements of
customers asking for higher display resolutions (up to WUXGA 1920 x 1080
pixels), superior image quality, and support for analog and digital
displays through the new DVI-I interface," said Bill Platt, Executive Vice
President of Products, Wyse Technology. "This solution also rounds out our
offering with our Wyse V-Class product family, now giving us options for
dual-video. This further extends the security and reliability of Wyse thin
computers to demanding, multi-display environments."
The new family is based on the VIA Eden C7 processor, and uses only 12
watts of power making it one of the most economical units available. The
family is four times faster than the models it replaces*, at the same or
lower prices.
"Dual-video support was once a nice-to-have but is becoming more of a
need-to-have," said Mike Strohl, President of Entisys, a Wyse Premier
Reseller in Northern California. "The Wyse 3150 thin client was a great
product, however the V30 Dual-Video gives you Microsoft Windows CE in a
much faster box, with the ability to use two displays if you desire, all at
the same price point as the 3150. We think this is going to be a homerun."
The new product line includes models based on Windows CE 5.0, Linux,
and Windows XP embedded. Models are available immediately starting at
$399**. Dual video capability requires optional DVI-I to dual display
cable, available from Wyse.
