|
| 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. |
|
