The Wyse Winterm Web Center

Overview

IT challenges have only increased.

Until now, your options for meeting user needs for computing applications in the enterprise have been limited. Traditional character-based terminals have confined your users to host systems.

They lacked the ability to access Windows® - or Java -based applications, or even browse the corporate intranet. Yet, the presumed solution—PC migration— brings with it high ownership costs along with new management issues and security concerns.

At the same time, business applica-tions have increasingly become Windows NT® -based. And organizations have demonstrated a strong preference for Windows NT as a desktop solution because of its stability, industry acceptance, and the availability of tools and software. Yet Windows NT requires an extensive investment in computing and staff resources to run, deploy, and manage.

To succeed in the face of these challenges, you need a cost-effective solution for delivering business-critical applications to your users. Plus, you have to find a way to deploy Windows NT-based desktops without significant resource investment. In short, to succeed, you’ll want to consider all the enterprise advantages that Wyse® Winterm thin clients provide.

Winterm thin clients. The right solution.

Nothing can match the Winterm family of thin-client terminals. Together, they deliver the broadest range of innovative products and provide more cost-effective solutions for accessing Windows-, Java-, and intranet-based applications than the traditional client/server option. With Winterm thin clients, IT professionals truly have a better choice for deploying Windows-based applications to terminal users, and for adopting Windows NT-based desktops.

By design, Winterm thin clients are ready to take full advantage of, and seamlessly integrate with, today’s powerful enterprise servers. Every Winterm desktop includes a thin piece of client software that provides access to the server—where 100 percent of the applications reside and execute. This centralized approach lets administrators easily deploy, manage, and support applications and user configurations from one location while increasing security. With Winterm thin clients, there’s no need to rewrite applications. You can offer users exceptional appli-cation performance on the latest 32-bit Windows-, Java-, or intranet-based applications. And all for a lower total cost. In fact, a study by Zona Research proved that using Winterm thin clients can reduce your total cost of ownership by up to 57 percent.*

You can leverage the benefits of a centralized terminal environment, while realizing the robust application capabilities of Windows NT. It starts by finding the Winterm solution that’s right for your business challenges.

Smarter. To fit your business.

The Winterm family of thin-client solutions offers smarter choices that let you match the needs of your business environment with the broadest array of innovative products. We’ve designed Winterm thin clients for places where space is at a premium, where mobility is required, for environments that require zero emissions, high-profile or heavy traffic areas, and many others. Regardless of the demands of your business, there’s a Winterm thin client that will fit your environment.

Winterm thin clients come in a wide range of form factors, including thin clients that are integrated into a monitor. Slim, modular, compact thin clients that support your choice of new or existing monitors with a minimal footprint. A mobile, wireless, touchscreen model that’s ideal around the shop floor, warehouse, or other dispersed environments. And a sleek, flat-panel unit that combines a high-quality, emission-free LCD display with an innovative, ergonomic design. It’s even wall-mountable. No matter which Winterm thin clients you choose, you can count on the quiet, cool performance and the reliable quality on which Wyse has built its reputation.

Easier. For IT and for users.

When it comes to terminal replacement solutions, nothing is easier than Winterm thin clients. With features like built-in emulations that allow them to function as traditional terminals right out of the box, Winterm thin clients allow users to stay productive within a familiar terminal interface. And our available WyseWorks® Terminal Suite software offers traditional general-purpose terminal emulation options.

For continued ease, Winterm thin clients connect seamlessly to your existing enterprise network through a wide array of connectivity options — from Ethernet, token ring, and frame relay, to ATM and serial —without rewiring or upgrading your network infrastructure. And our WyseWorks Remote Administrator software allows Winterm hardware to be managed, configured, and firmware-upgraded over the network or serial/modem from a central location.

Winterm thin clients even let you deploy new applications at your own pace. Through support for the ICA® 3 and T.SHARE protocols, they come ready to access Windows-, Java-, and intranet-based applications hosted on multiuser application servers. Supported server software includes Citrix® WinFrame® and follow-on Citrix products, along with Microsoft® Windows NT Hydra.

Thinner. For more cost-effective performance.

Winterm thin clients offer you the best thin-client performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. Our thin-client/server approach keeps all network-intensive application activity on the corporate backbone, so just a fraction of normal network bandwidth is required to run vital applications. As a result, local users get blazing speed over existing LANs.

For remote users, the highly efficient ICA 3 technology is optimized for net-work connections as low as 14.4 Kbps. This means every remote user can get LAN-like application performance, over analog or ISDN modems, WANs, wireless LANs, and even the Internet. Our products are designed to take full advantage of 100-percent server-based application execution on today’s powerful servers, so they offer distinct performance and manageability advantages over older PCs repurposed as thin clients. Performance studies have shown that Winterm thin clients outperform 386/486-class PCs functioning as thin clients by anywhere from 160 to 1400 percent. Winterm thin clients also offer faster start-up time, and they’re easier to manage since it’s impos-sible for users to corrupt local hard drives or introduce unwanted software.

Today, Winterm thin clients deliver the promised advantages of network computers —including centralized desktop manageability, improved security, and bandwidth-independent performance—plus the ability to access current and future Windows-, Java-, and intranet-based applications.

It all adds up to deliver the most cost-effective solutions for your company’s greatest enterprise computing challenges. And it’s available to you today, in a way that’s smarter, easier, and thinner, with Winterm thin-client products.
