SAN JOSE, California and CANNES, France, February 24 /PRNewswire/ --

Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced
that its entire line of thin clients are now VMware Ready Certified for
VMware View(TM), enabling a superior user experience for those deploying a
cloud computing or client virtualization environment with VMware View. The
announcement was made today in Cannes, France at VMworld Europe 2009.

VMware Ready Certified status includes rigorous testing and quality
assurance with VMware View for enhanced reliability and ease of deployment.
Wyse works closely with VMware to develop innovative solutions that help
businesses plan, implement and operate a virtual infrastructure with the
VMware platform.

With desktop and mobile devices optimized for VMware View, Wyse is
delivering a superior set of options for customers looking to adopt client
virtualization. Wyse is a leader in developing cloud environments for
knowledge users with advanced technologies such as Collaborative Processing
Architecture (CPA). CPA is the only protocol acceleration technology that
works with both ICA and RDP protocols on Windows(TM) and non-windows
desktops, and intelligently manages voice, video, and data workloads to
maximize use of the powerful CPUs found in Wyse clients. This approach
improves datacenter scalability, removing roadblocks to higher user counts,
and reducing the energy consumed by the datacenter, all while dramatically
improving the user experience. By supporting voice, video and data, Wyse
offers higher levels of functionality for VMware View users.

"Wyse's relationship with VMware combined with technology advances in
virtual desktops, has allowed us to raise the bar in cost savings, while
delivering a superior end-user experience," according to Ricardo Antuna,
Senior Vice President, Product Management, Business Development and Alliances
for Wyse Technology. "We will continue to work with VMware to enable our
customers who use VMware View to enjoy a smooth multimedia experience and
benefit from superior USB plug-and-play support, even in non-Windows
environments."

"We value our relationship with Wyse, with our shared vision of providing
an environment for delivering rich, personalized virtual desktops to Wyse
thin clients," said Jerry Chen, Senior Director of Desktop Virtualization,
VMware. "VMware View is an ideal environment for thin client users. Together,
VMware and Wyse are providing customers with easy and cost-effective desktop
solutions that offer an outstanding user experience, enhanced security,
simpler management, lower TCO, and less impact on the environment. We are
pleased to work with Wyse to help ensure that its thin clients are optimized
for VMware View environments."

Wyse customers across Europe are already seeing the benefits of Wyse
virtual desktops:

"Acxiom is a major provider of IT outsourcing services and we have found
that virtualizing our infrastructure helps us create efficiencies while also
enhancing our expertise," said Chris Lanaux, Acxiom IT Services technical
group leader. "We have deployed numerous thin clients as part of our desktop
virtualization efforts and will continue to do so. Our virtualization efforts
have enabled us to centralize and consolidate our data centers and deploy
more thin clients at a cost significantly lower than PCs. As a global
interactive marketing services company, Acxiom must maintain a computing
infrastructure that is simple, reliable and scalable. The virtual desktops
from Wyse fit the bill on all fronts."

"Our IT department was struggling to maintain nearly 2,000 PCs that were
long past the point of being efficient," according to Holger Busch, Team
Leader at Stadt Hanau in Central Germany. "By making the switch to Wyse
virtual desktops, not only did we save on the replacement costs for new PCs,
we have seen other benefits as well. We were able to centralize all of our
applications and the accompanying administration of those applications, and
thus lower the number of data centers required from 7 to 2. We have also
benefited from a reduction in energy costs of approximately 70%. In addition,
our use of Wyse TCX software has allowed us to run multimedia files on our
new thin clients and to use various USB peripherals according to the needs of
our users."

"Before our move to thin clients, we were suffering from high PC
management costs, unacceptable energy consumption, and inefficient security
management," according to Srboljub Nikitovic, Executive Director for TV
Technology at Radio Television of Serbia (RTS). "All that has since changed
for the better. In addition, as Serbia's official national broadcaster we had
specific and sophisticated audio and video requirements. As far as we know,
Wyse was the only company that could provide RTS with smooth video over
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) capabilities."

"Volkswagen Versicherungsdienst is doing everything we can to reduce
carbon emissions, not just with the vehicles that we manufacture, but also
with the computers that we use," according to Mathias Wietstock, IT Manager
at Volkswagen Versicherungsdienst GmbH. "We made the move to Wyse thin
clients for some very good technology reasons -- USB and peripheral support,
VMware integration, improved management and multimedia support -- but the
fact that we have reduced our energy consumption by 131.544 kilowatts every
year is what really has us smiling."
