Wyse and Key Industry Leaders Join Forces to Showcase Advanced Virtualization Technologies at Upcoming Citrix Summit Show
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyse Technology, the global
leader in thin computing, today announced the sponsorship, along with key
technology leaders, of the Citrix Booth. As industry leaders, Wyse, Lenovo and
others will showcase Citrix desktop & application virtualization technologies
at the upcoming Citrix Summit(TM) Conference. Citrix Summit, a partner focused
event will be held in Orlando Florida, October 26th through the 29th. Wyse has
attended the Citrix Summit event since its inception. This is the second time
that Wyse has sponsored the Citrix Booth, previously called the Tech Lab.
Wyse, IBM & Lenovo will fill the Citrix Booth with 14 IBM BladeCenter HS21
XMs, 20 Lenovo ThinkCentres, 20 Lenovo ThinkPads, and 30 Wyse V class XP
Embedded Thin Clients. Because of their strategic global partnership, Wyse was
selected to coordinate the additional partners to be represented within their
booth. "The Citrix Booth technology lab area is an important showcase for our
Citrix Summit attendees," says Eddie Powell, director of business development
at Citrix Systems. "Our strong relationship with Wyse -- both technically and
professionally -- made them a natural candidate to demonstrate our latest
technologies in the best light."
"Many IBM clients are moving to client virtualization by transforming
large portions of their end user populations to thin client environments with
IBM's Virtual Infrastructure Access solution," said Jan Jackman, vice
president, End-User Services for IBM. "Through key partnerships with leading
vendors like Wyse and Citrix, IBM is helping organizations offer this
alternative model for deploying desktop applications which increase the
security, resilience, and reliability of desktop deployments, all at a
fraction of the price of competing solutions."
"The Citrix Summit attracts some of the most sophisticated technologists
working today," according to Peter Schrady, VP and GM Software and Peripherals
at Lenovo. "This is a great opportunity for Lenovo to demonstrate how well our
ThinkCentres and ThinkPads compliment the solutions from Wyse and Citrix."
"This sponsorship is a tremendous opportunity for Wyse to showcase our
products and demonstrate the benefits of a virtual desktop to the Citrix
Summit attendees as well as to our channel partners," according to Ricardo
Antuna, VP, Business Development & Product Management at Wyse Technology.
"There's no substitute for seeing a virtualized environment in action from the
data center to the desktop, and we're happy to deliver that experience to the
show attendees."
