Leading Education Publication Chooses Wyse Cloud Client Computing Solution as a Leading Technology for Schools in 2010

SAN JOSE, Calif. – 12/01/2010 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing, today announced that District Administration readers chose a Wyse thin client as one of the 2010 Top 100 Products.  As part of its annual award program, District Administration asked its readers to nominate the hardware, software, books and materials, Web sites, or facilities products that have made a positive difference in their districts in 2010.

The winning products were determined by the quantity of nominations received per product as well as evaluating the quality of readers’ nominations and explanations. Readers of District Administration are the top public school administrators in the country, and they know from experience what works and what does not work within their districts.  Wyse was selected from hundreds of nominations received over the last six months, a significant increase in participation from the previous year.

"These product recommendations included extensive descriptions from school administrators of how these products are used in their districts, making it very challenging to choose the top 100 products. We hope these products, and their accompanying testimonials, will act as a valuable resource for our readers," says District Administration’s editor in chief, Judy Faust Hartnett.

"Having our customers choose Wyse as a top solution is the most compelling kind of award to receive," said Jeff McNaught, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at Wyse.  "Wyse will continue to focus on and support the education industry, as we strive to help make all teaching environments secure, easy to manage and accessible from anywhere."

"This year’s winners were a very diverse group of products, ranging from classroom resources to district-level management tools," says Kurt Eisele-Dyrli, products editor. "Many of them, from online assessments and notification systems to thin clients and projectors, enabled readers to do more with less, which reflects the challenging times faced by many school systems."

The results are now available at DistrictAdministration.com and are featured in the November/December issue of District Administration, which will be mailed on November 30.  For more information about the winning product, the ThinOS powered Wyse V10L, or other industry-leading Wyse solutions, please visit, www.wyse.com/products
