Wyse Releases WSM 3.0 (the Citrix Provisioning Server alternative)
Thursday, 14 January 2010 by Michel Roth
Wyse has released version 3.0 of their little known Wyse Streaming Manager (WSM), which is essentially the same as Citrix Provisioning Server.

Wyse Streaming Manage (WSM) 3.0 delivers full PC functionality on a zero client, while creating scalable, low-cost and easy to manage architectures for all organization sizes. 

Unlike other solutions that only work in a limited local area network, WSM 3.0 is purpose-built for organizations, typically in K-12 education institutions or retail and banking industries, with a large number of remote small and medium size sites, spread across multiple regions or even continents.  Some of the new features that emphasize this functionality include:

  • Faster application streaming and pre-fetching
  • High availability for distributed sites
  • Full PC functionality, including Microsoft Windows 7
  • OS and application content distribution management
  • User setting and data preservation

WSM 3.0 uses distributed architecture scalability combined with the flexibility of being able to run your environment on Microsoft Server 2003, 2008 or XP Professional, or Wyse WSM Appliance Device.  Users are also able to create and provision their virtual clients with VMware Virtual Center Integration.   Most important for public sector and financial customers, WSM centralizes security and allows no local storage in order to keep the system safe.

Wyse WSM 3.0 is available immediately at $200/device seat.  More information is available at http://www.wyse.com/products/software/wsm/index.asp
