KARACHI : The US-based WYSE Technology Incorporation-a pioneer in Thin computing is considering to make Pakistan a hub of its commercial activities in the South Asian region due to its investor-friendly atmosphere.
The president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the WYSE Technology Inc, Dr John Kish, is likely to visit Pakistan in the third week of August, 2006.
Founded in 1981, the WYSE Technology Inc is a technology manufacturing company headquartered in San Jose, California, USA, with offices world-wide.
The company introduced economical, ergonomic, and attractively designed terminal products of high quality and reliability. The WYSE, world-wide customers include FedEx, AT&T, Abbott, Citibank, Xerox, DHL, Lockheed Martin, Bayer, UPS, Pfizer, Exxon and Marriott etc. Despite aggressive competitors entering the marketplace as early as the following year, the WYSE has continually maintained its Thin-client leadership.
Thin client is a simple programme or hardware device, which relies on most of the function of the system being in the server.
By the mid-1990s, the model of decentralised computing where each user has his own full-featured and independent microcomputer, seemed to have displaced a centralised model in which multiple users use thin clients (eg dumb terminals) to work on a shared minicomputer or mainframe server, but the scenario is changing again.
The main objective is to provide better services to its customers. Especially, those who are suffering from the poor networking support of some operating systems.
Thin computing is a computing architecture that shifts complexity from the edge to the centre of the network. This architecture enables new ways to access information and eliminates the most frustrating corporate desktop issues faced by a company’s Information Technology (IT) department, specifically security, manageability, reliability, and cost.
