Wyse Technology Enhances Terminal Server Management and Performance with Wyse Expedian Version 2.0

Software Provides New Management Feature; Allows CIOs to Reduce Hardware and Software Costs by Tens of Thousands of Dollars

San Jose, CA – 01/07/2003 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing, today introduced Wyse Expedian™ version 2.0, Wyse's next-generation performance and scalability enhancement software for Microsoft Terminal Servers. The new version of Wyse Expedian is part of Wyse's portfolio of software products that reduce the cost of deploying server-centric computing. Once installed, the software allows servers to run business applications from 30 to 100 percent faster, or increase the number of users by a similar margin. As a result, CIOs avoid the need to invest heavily in new equipment to improve performance or accommodate growth.

"Like most public school systems, we continually search for ways to squeeze greater performance from our existing IT investment," said Dr. Scott Barrett, director of technology, Conroe Independent School District. "Our users noticed an immediate performance boost from the first day we installed Wyse Expedian. Their reaction was all the proof we needed to realize the key role this product will play in helping us deliver the maximum performance to our users without spending thousands of dollars on additional servers."

The elegantly simple, yet powerful performance enhancement software also provides a management console that allows IT professionals to install and configure Wyse Expedian on every server in the enterprise from a single location. As a result, enterprises can easily reduce their hardware and software costs by tens of thousands of dollars.

"Wyse Expedian demonstrates our commitment to provide customers with immediate, cost-effective ways to increase IT performance and the quality of their Terminal Server computing environment," said David Rand, director of corporate marketing at Wyse Technology. "Less than four months after breaking new ground with our first server optimization software, we have extended the performance enhancements to new levels. Wyse Expedian is a clear example of how we bring the same innovative energy that keeps Wyse on the top of the thin-client market to our software products."

Wyse Expedian software analyzes how the various components of application software conflict with each other in memory and then automatically and continuously manages the system to address the conflicts and deliver optimized performance. Additionally, Wyse Expedian's new management console makes the software simple for IT staff to install and administer, particularly in enterprises and data centers that manage massive server farms. IT professionals can deploy Wyse Expedian and manage configurations on every server from a single console, instead of manually installing and managing the software on each individual server.
