We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
It takes a lot of technology to run one of the largest virtualization
events in the world, and Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud
client computing, is playing a big role in making this week’s VMworld
2010 show deliver a rich experience for the estimated 17,000 plus
attendees. Wyse is currently appearing at VMworld 2010 in San Francisco,
California, at Booth #521.
Nearly 1,000 Wyse thin and zero clients are in use in this year’s show,
providing a rich experience for attendees, and a trouble free experience
for the various IT teams, show execs and Wyse partners delivering
thousands of virtual desktops.
Nearly 500 Wyse P20 zero clients, the most popular zero client for
VMware View, were used in VMware’s fast-paced training labs, bringing
the virtualization experience and opportunity to over 18,000 lab
sessions. These sessions occur over WAN, showcasing the performance of
the PC-Over-IP protocol in real world conditions.
Wyse thin and zero clients were also used for show infrastructure, and
in nearly 20 booths in the solutions exchange.

used at this show than all other vendors combined,” said Jeff McNaught,
chief marketing and strategy officer for Wyse. “This communicates to the
estimated 17,000+ attendees that Wyse cloud client computing is an ideal
way to deliver true cloud computing, with virtual desktops and unified
communications offering no-compromise user experience, high-reliability,
