Wyse WSM and Cloud PCs

Familiar. Performance. Improved. The PC, only better - with centralized OS, applications, and content.

Wyse WSM is the first solution to use OS and application streaming to package and deliver the operating system and applications independently of one another to Cloud PC desktops and VDI virtual machines, giving IT administrators the control they need to ensure the consistency of desktop software across the enterprise.

Wyse WSM requires very little datacenter infrastructure, operates standalone, or complements existing presentation and VDI solutions, while dramatically reducing the storage space, IT time and expense of delivering and maintaining desktop software throughout an enterprise. By streaming the operating system and applications independently to a stateless Cloud PC or legacy PC and running them locally in memory, Wyse WSM enables virtually any Windows application to be run on the client just as it would on a traditional PC. Yet all files and applications reside in the private cloud data center, where they are much easier to back up, manage, and maintain.

Because applications are streamed independently of the operating system, Wyse WSM enables standardization of operating system images across the organization and delivers applications based on user roles and responsibilities. Administrators can also easily provision new applications or updates to existing applications without having to modify the operating system image.

Out of the box, Cloud PCs contain no local operating system software on the device, but instead use OS and Application Streaming (OAS) to deliver a true PC experience with cloud computing benefits of centralized storage, control, and simplified OS and application maintenance. The true PC OS and applications are literally delivered in real-time over the LAN from Wyse WSM provisioning software in the datacenter cloud. Wyse Cloud PCs can be provisioned with operating systems and applications compatible with Windows Embedded, Windows XP Professional, Vista, and Windows 7. Some Wyse Cloud PCs come packaged with a Windows 7 license making them Microsoft Software Assurance eligible, streamlining installation, licensing, and updates.

From simple to sophisticated, Wyse WSM is designed with built-in network flexibility

You can run Wyse WSM on standard PCs, Wyse WSM Appliances or servers to create low cost, entry-level and compact Wyse WSM networks supporting Wyse Cloud PCs and diskless PCs.

As additional locations are added, Wyse WSM servers connect to each other to create a scalable and resilient computing network, through "Wyse WSM server grouping."

Wyse WSM server groups allow administrators to have a wholistic view of their environment and centrally manage and control all Cloud PCs and diskless PCs powered by Wyse WSM

Wyse WSM works within a real or virtualized server farm infrastructure together with centralized storage and, with the industry standard Microsoft Active Directory, is able to build a scalable, resilient multi-site architecture.

Fast and Easy Installation Installing Wyse WSM is simply a matter of running a single, graphical installer The installer checks for all the prerequisite components before installation  

Web-based Admin Console Allows IT administrators to access Wyse WSM from any browser

Control the entire installation from a central location
Dramatically simplifies administration, saving IT time and user downltime Wizards to guide the user through specific tasks

Operating System & Application Imaging Tools Imaging tool simplifies the process of creating an OS image for the specific hardware configuration and an application image for all hardware configurations All OS and application images are ready for deployment once created, no further modification needed  

Application Subscription Management Use flexible application deployment methods: Auto-subscribed applications are ready for use when user logs in for the first time. Manual subscriptions allow users the flexibility to use applications only when needed.

Mandatory subscriptions that cannot be unsubscribed by users.

Protected System Drive Allows administrators to protect the system drive from end-user initiated updates. Prevents changes to operating system drive except by administrators, helping stop viruses, spyware, or malware from infecting the device.  

Operating System Streaming Wyse WSM provides an on-demand OS to thin computers on the network.

Only those bits needed for the normal device operation are sent in order to reduce network traffic.
Innovative technology makes each thin computer think there is a virtual hard disk attached to the device. Operatin-system images can be shared across multiple devices, making management easier.

Flexible Boot Options Each device can boot from four OS image assignments.

Administrators can assign or let users choose with operating system they want to boot.
First disk mode for the default OS image to boot from every time device starts up. First available mode to boot from the first responding server in order to balance loads.

Application License Management and Metering Wyse WSM provides the infrastructure to collect information about the application license usage across the enterprise. This information allows IT organizations to save money associated with application licenses. Licenses can be stored for all the applications deployed. It also enforces license compliance. Types of licenses that can be controlled include:

Time-based licenses (valid for X days)

Number of concurrent users

Modes of Operation Wyse WSM allows administrators to choose modes of operation for the OS: Private Mode - for administration of OS images Shared Mode - has two additional modes of normal operation:

Volatile - returns desktop to pristine state after a device reboot

Persistent - remembers any user settings after a device reboot

Remote Servers for Scalability IT administrators can deploy multiple remote servers to improve scalability of the overall solution. Central management of remote servers allows easy deployment of the solution across different geographic locations.  

Comprehensive Reporting Easy ad-hoc reporting based on flexible parameters.

Reports are delivered through HTML, giving you the flexibility to output in any form.
License-metering reports can be used to make a proactive purchasing decision. License-audit reports can be used for compliance purposes.

Desktop Compatibility Wyse WSM works with Wyse C00LE, V00L/E, R00L/E and X00C/L Cloud PCs as wells as with existing thin clients, reconfigured diskless personal computers, and virtual-desktop systems.
