Wyse Drives Post-PC Trend - Makes World’s Most Powerful Thin Client More Expandable
January 2012 by Marc Jacob
Wyse Technology announced the newest member of its top-performing Z class thin client family with the availability of the Wyse Z90DE7 thin client. Built on an extended hardware platform that includes a PCI express (PCIe) expansion slot, this extremely secure, powerful new member of the Wyse Z class family is based on Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 7. Like other Wyse Z90 family thin clients, the Z90DE7 combines the raw power of dual-core AMD G-series processors with Wyse’s industry-leading firmware based on Windows Embedded Standard 7 optimized for thin client performance, security, and ease of use. In addition, the Z90DE7 adds an expandable hardware platform to deliver multimedia and advanced security applications with exceptional, uncompromised performance and quality.
The Wyse Z90 family of high-performance Windows Embedded thin clients introduced last year includes thin clients that are perfectly suited to users who increasingly demand more performance from their virtual desktop environment without sacrificing cloud client benefits of security and management.
Featuring ultra-fast processing, accelerated graphics and multimedia, fast and flexible user connectivity, and excellent energy-efficiency, Wyse Z class delivers uncompromising high performance when users need it most. The new Wyse Z90DE7 adds a PCIe slot, which enables an increased number of peripheral devices, including additional displays, an integrated smart card reader, more legacy print/scanning devices, etc.
The Z90DE7 supports up to six external displays, a wider and more diverse mix of peripherals, and integrated smart card reader, allowing customers to incorporate third party add-ons to deliver single sign-on capabilities for strong user authentication. This functionality is targeted at healthcare, financial services, and secure government installations.
With thousands of deployments in the financial services and healthcare industries, Wyse understands the importance of device integration, such as multiple monitors for financial professionals and smart card integration for healthcare workers. The Wyse Z90DE7 extends the already powerful capabilities of the high performance Z class family.
Despite its high-performance capabilities, the Wyse Z90DE7 is extraordinarily energy-efficient. It consumes under 15 watts of power, and between 15 watts and 35 watts with the expansion slot occupied and operational. An energy-efficient processor and silent fan-less design, contribute to lowering an organization’s carbon footprint through power usage and emissions that are a fraction of traditional PC desktops.
