Chip PC Revolutionary Line-up for Desktop Virtualization To Be Unveiled at Citrix iForum Munich 2008


MUNICH, Germany, June 12 /PRNewswire/ --     Chip PC Technologies, a leader in desktop replacement and thin computing,
today announced that it will be introducing its Desktop Virtualization
solutions supporting the Citrix XenDesktop(TM) delivery solution alongside
with its new class of Desktop Appliances.

Delivering the most innovative family of desktop replacement
products, Chip PC supports the XenDesktop(TM) virtualization standard via its
complete line of hardware and software solutions, providing seamless
integration into desktop virtualization environments as well as traditional
server-based computing environments. Simple, efficient, scalable and flexible
- Chip PC ushers in a new era that will take the virtual desktop beyond the
familiar desktop experience to the superior!

Chip PC's flexible products are an out of the box solution for
mixed computing environments, including both virtual desktops suitable for
knowledge workers and traditional thin clients historically targeted at fixed
function application delivery requirements or task-based workers.

A single, policy-based management console enables on the fly
allocation of desktops for users offering a single sign-on and seamless
integration and migration between various computing environments. Chip
PC's integrated management shadowing capabilities via the Session
Desk Manager enable central monitoring and allocation of Virtual Desktops,
ICA and RDP connections to users.

"We target ease-of-use and a seamless integration into desktop
virtualization environments as well as server-based computing environments,"
said Stephan Herkert, VP Europe for Chip PC. "With access devices drawing as
low as between 1.5 up to 3.5 watts of power at maximum load and featuring
onboard multimedia acceleration in selective models, Chip PC's devices are
the logical replacement to traditional fat PCs. With their design centered on
ease of use they deliver desktops on demand enabling full data protection and
reducing total cost of ownership by up to 40%."

Leveraging years of experience, Chip PC continues to integrate
its core strategy of providing state-of-the-art cold technology into its
revolutionary products. Featuring Chip PC's new Thin OS and onboard
multimedia acceleration, the new Plug PC access devices drive changes in the
desktop continuum, while setting new standards for Desktop Virtualization,
featuring rapid boot, domain authentication in a Thin OS, and a truly rich
multimedia experience.

"Chip PC's participation in the Citrix Ready Desktop Appliance
partner program has enabled them to develop a new line-up of desktop
appliances that are optimized for XenDesktop, and offer a powerful mix of
seamless integration, green technology and multimedia performance," said
Sumit Dhawan, senior director of product marketing, Desktop Delivery Group,
Citrix Systems. "With the integration of Chip PC's desktop appliances and
XenDesktop, we can deliver a superior user experience that looks and performs
just like a traditional PC."

The benefits for IT organizations will be simplicity in
deployment and maintenance, with the added benefit of the lowest power
consumption desktop appliances in any class. The collaboration with Citrix
further widens Chip PC's status in the desktop virtualization market by
leveraging Citrix XenDesktop to deliver an end-to-end desktop virtualization
solution.

The new Plug PC appliance will be offered at especially
attractive pricing from Chip PC strategic partners and will be available late
in the third quarter. Existing Chip PC Appliances that support XenDesktop are
available today with RRP prices starting at EUR199.00.
