Wyse Technology has released a provisioning software WSM 3.0, which it claims to offer full PC functionality on a zero client, while creating easy to manage architectures for all organisation sizes.
The company said that the software is purpose-built for organisations, with a large number of remote small and medium size sites, spread across multiple regions or even continents. Its functionality include, application streaming and pre-fetching; high availability for distributed sites; PC functionality, including Microsoft Windows 7; OS and application content distribution management; and user setting and data preservation.
According to Wyse, the software runs on Microsoft Server 2003, 2008 or XP Professional, or Wyse WSM Appliance Device and helps users to create and provision their virtual clients with VMware virtual centre integration. In addition, it centralises security and allows no local storage to keep the system safe.
Russell Leitzen, CTO at KMTelecom, said: KMTelecom helped Kasson-Mantorville Schools discover that WSM and Wyse R00L zero clients could meet all of the district needs without requiring significant investment in server hardware and software virtualise the desktops. For organisations struggling with the costs associated with large-scale virtualisation implementations, WSM has been a successful alternative.
