Share:
ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 29: Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today announced support for the Citrix(R) Ready(TM) Initiative, which is designed to help customers identify the best third-party solutions that add the greatest value in Citrix driven environments.
The initiative currently supports Citrix Presentation Server(TM) 4 (32 and 64-bit versions), Citrix Password Manager(TM) 4.5 and Citrix(R) NetScaler(R). Support for additional Citrix products will be added throughout 2007. Third party products that receive the Citrix Ready designation have successfully met verification criteria set by Citrix.
"Citrix Ready not only dramatically increases our visibility and access to Citrix customers but also demonstrates our commitment to providing the most versatile thin computing solutions on the market," said Tarkan Maner, president of worldwide field operations, Wyse. "The initiative also provides the basis for a community in which vendors and customers can interact and share information through the dedicated Citrix Ready e-marketplace, which Wyse will take advantage of."
Wyse Thin Clients across all platforms and operating systems, including the recently announced S10 VDI Edition, support extensions to Citrix Presentation Server designed around desktop virtualization architecture. This integration allows customers of both Wyse and Citrix to leverage their existing thin computing and access infrastructure investments while taking advantage of the cost, security and manageability benefits of the Thin Computing approach. In addition to the Citrix Dynamic Desktop Initiative (DDI), Wyse supports VMware's Virtual Desktop Initiative (VDI) and IBM's Virtual Client Solutions (VCS), essentially providing the most advanced thin computing platform for all the leading desktop virtualization initiatives.
"Wyse has long been a valued Citrix Alliance Partner providing thin computing devices to many Citrix customers worldwide. Their participation in the Citrix Ready initiative makes it clear to customers that they are compatible with and add value to the Citrix Application Delivery Platform," said David Jones, corporate vice president, business development, for Citrix. "The Citrix Ready designation offers customers an additional measure of confidence in the quality of solutions that our partners like Wyse bring to the marketplace."
