Wyse Virtualization Solutions Solve the IT Problems Associated with E-Learning

Thin Computing Solutions from the Gold Sponsor Wyse at the Online Educa 2009 in Berlin

Kirchheim near Munich – 11/23/2009 - Wyse Technology, the worldwide market leader in the area of thin computing and client virtualization, will present its virtualization solutions at the Online Educa 2009 in Berlin, as the Gold Sponsor (December 3-4, 2009, Hotel InterContinental).

The Online Educa is the largest international e-learning conference for businesses, the education sector, and the public sector. One of the highlights of the 15th Online Educa will be the keynote address by Wyse CEO Tarkan Maner (plenary session, Friday 12/04, 9:15 to 11:00 o'clock).

IT solutions combining functionality, flexibility, ease of administration and a low total cost of ownership are particularly in demand in the public sector, in universities, and with private e-learning providers. The virtualization products offered by market leader Wyse fulfill these requirements precisely.

Wyse is the only provider worldwide that offers the kind of turnkey hardware and software solutions required by educational institutions to provide a powerful teaching architecture. One variant consists of the Wyse provisioning solution, WSM and the highly compact, cost-effective and energy-saving Wyse zero clients: with this system, all required operating systems and applications are transferred from a central server to the zero client computers at the students' workstations when they are required. For diverse scenarios of IT-supported learning, Wyse delivers solutions which are particularly cost-effective, secure and reliable, and which offer a maximum of functionality, combined with superior ease of administration.

Wyse provides learning architecture solutions for every requirement — from the classic thin client and the simple web client, virtual clients which access virtual workstations, to a combination of Wyse zero clients and Wyse WSM. The Wyse solutions not only offer cost-efficiency and superior performance, they also eliminate the risks and the costs which are usually associated with the use of PCs in the classroom. Thus, the Wyse zero clients can use highly diverse student, class or subject profiles, for instance. If required, the Zero computers can be returned to their original, virus-free states with a mouse click.

"Teaching and learning alone are demanding enough, without teachers and students having to trouble themselves with unreliable PCs," says Wyse CEO Tarkan Maner. "A thin computing architecture represents the ideal solution for the requirements of e-learning. It has been proven in usage scenarios all over the world, whether in schools, universities, or private educational institutions. E-learning needs an IT environment which fulfills the individual requirements of an educational establishment, and which is also reliable, safe, cost-effective and easy to administer. And a suitable thin client computing architecture ensures one more thing: that it really is fun to work with."
