Plone and Drupal: Different Approaches, Different Results
paul.nowak wrote: Matt, thanks for the comments. I made an error on the version of Plone. It's 2.5 Plone running on Zope 2.9x. In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...

Two New Mobile Devices for Virtualization Introduced By Wyse Technology
Mobile Thin Clients Operate in Virtualized Environments

By: Virtualization News
Mar. 4, 2008 03:30 PM

Wyse Technology announced the availability of two mobile thin clients -- the Wyse X90L and X90Le. Designed to be flexible user devices in a desktop virtualization strategy, these mobile thin clients deliver a combination of performance, flexibility and capabilities including:

  • Gigabit Ethernet for access to the fastest corporate networks
  • 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN connectivity and Cisco CCX compatibility for support for existing wireless infrastructure
  • 15.4" widescreen WXGA TFT screen
  • Digital (DVI) and analog (VGA) display ports
  • Rich, multimedia support in virtualized desktop environments
  • Express card slot for access to broadband wireless access
  • Built-in Bluetooth 2.0 support to reach servers through existing Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and data plans
  • SD card slot for additional storage and data sharing
  • Integrated Smart card reader and Citrix Password Manager Client for 2 factor authentication support.
Adding to Wyse's introduced portable mobile units, these new models are based on Microsoft Windows XP embedded, and address desktop replacement and display oriented applications with a large, bright 15.4-inch widescreen WXGA TFT display and come standard with 1G RAM/1G Flash to address demanding user and IT needs. Wyse mobile thin clients also deliver the benefits of being totally solid-state, by eliminating fans and spinning parts, while being more secure by eliminating local data storage.

Wyse tailored its mobile thin clients to address the specific needs of industries such as healthcare, financial services and government where thin computing has always had a foothold but required a mobile solution. An insurance adjuster, for example, could communicate with head office and use the SD card slot to transfer photos to help expedite a claim. A doctor could access records right at the patient's bed side without worrying about data security being breached.

"Customers have told us that it makes no sense to access a virtualized PC in the datacenter with another PC on the desktop. They want a secure device that delivers a rich experience, and they want to enable users to take that experience with them from their office, to the conference room, even moving off campus to their home or other locations," said Jeff McNaught, Chief Marketing Officer for Wyse Technology. "We went well beyond the idea of stripping down a notebook PC, to deliver a thoughtful, future-proofed combination of performance, peripheral support, and connectivity, offering Wi-Fi b, g and even n and Bluetooth 2.0. I can access my desktop anywhere my phone works, even as a passenger in a moving car."

Like all Wyse mobile thin clients, users can leverage desktop virtualization solutions such as Citrix Presentation Server and Citrix XenDesktop, VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Microsoft Windows Terminal Server environments as well as get access to existing back-end infrastructure using the Ericom -- PowerTerm Terminal Emulation.

Mobility away from the office or Wi-Fi is accomplished by selecting an Express Card from local wireless network providers, or through the X90Le model, which adds integrated Bluetooth 2.0 for true mobility, enabling access to networked servers via existing mobile phone data connections, saving the need for additional hardware and additional data plans.

The X90Le model also includes a built-in smart card reader with Citrix Password Manager pre-installed for convenient and effective two factor authentication security. And because these Wyse mobile thin clients are designed for access to applications that are fully managed in the data center, they are inherently more secure from theft, viruses and other malicious software attacks.
