KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Jan. 9, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Neoware Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), the fastest growing supplier of award-winning software, services, education, and support for the thin client appliance computing market will demonstrate the latest in thin client retail solutions in booth #2263 at National Retail Federation's (NRF) 92nd Conference & Exposition in New York, NY.
NRF, which is being held on January 13-14th, 2003 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York, delivers real-world ideas to an ever-growing retailer audience with nearly 300 exhibitors and well over 15,000 attendees.
Neoware provides flexible, cost-effective systems to customers such as Raymour & Flannigan, Plow & Hearth, and some of the nation's largest retail chains. By enabling system administrators to remotely discover, configure, upgrade, and maintain their thin client appliances from a central location, retail organizations are able to manage their whole network, performing upgrades and maintenance, without traveling from site to site. Additionally, Neoware products allow customers to seamlessly connect and consolidate their operations, quickly deploy new applications, and easily upgrade to meet ongoing needs such as wireless requirements and custom configurations. Neoware thin clients can be locked down to prevent unauthorized changes or data theft, eliminating security risks and making them ideal for both point of sale and retail back-office applications.
With Neoware's remote management software, systems administrators are able to configure and manage thin clients from a central site or remote location, significantly lowering the cost of desktop administration and improving user access to critical applications. Compatible with Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix(r) MetaFrame(r), Neoware devices and software let users run the latest server-based and web-based applications, without the administrative and overhead costs associated with personal computers. Users have a choice of models that support Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA(r)), Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), as well as web browsers and terminal emulations for connection to Windows, UNIX, and MetaFrame servers, the Internet, and mainframes.
"NRF is a perfect venue for Neoware to share our experience and success with retailers worldwide," stated Michael Kantrowitz, president and CEO of Neoware. "Neoware's thin client solutions provide an ideal computing architecture for retailers needing cost-effective access to both legacy and modern applications."
