Thinware Wyse thickens SUSE lINUX

SAN JOSE, US: Wyse Technology, a player in thin computing and client virtualization, has announced updates to two operating systems used in the company's thin clients -- Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 for Virtual client and Cloud environments.

In the press release announcing this Jeff McNaught, chief marketing and strategy officer at Wyse added, "We have taken the key benefits of our existing devices, and added new performance features and a seamless transition path to quickly meet market demand in cloud and virtualized environments."

This new version has been developed in partnership with Novell, with an intent to improve the virtual desktop experience for the corporate workforce by offering enhanced support for users across the enterprise. "Mobile workers can take advantage of the expanded VPN support to safely connect to corporate networks running on Cisco, Jupiter, Nortel and others. At the desktop level, Wyse's enhanced USB peripheral virtualization support enables use of "real-time" devices such as webcams and USB headsets."

"As thin client adoption expands, we look forward to continuing our work with Wyse to provide a true enterprise Linux operating system that meets the security, stability, and flexibility requirements enterprises demand," said Guy Lunardi, Director of Client Preloads at Novell.

As it appears, security has become a highlight yet again.

The press note talks about security features in Wyse's new Linux protect the transfer of files and software over the network, during interaction with the cloud, or while being managed. "In conjunction with Wyse Device Manager software, sensitive firmware updates and files can be securely transferred between thin clients without concern for unauthorized access. This robust central management system enables IT departments to simplify company-wide deployment of new software by enabling controlled distribution to all thin clients on the network."

Wyse has also released updates to Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2, Microsoft's componentized, 32-bit native hard, real-time operating system for small-footprint embedded solutions. "Microsoft is proud to be working with Wyse to further innovate thin clients within the embedded market," said Ashwin Kulkarni, senior product manager for Windows Embedded at Microsoft Corp.
