BANGALORE, India, Dec. 8, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Neoware, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), the leading supplier of enterprise software, thin client appliances and related services, today announced significant new additions to its thin client portfolio for the Indian market, the Neoware c50 and the Neoware e370, as well as Neoware Image Manager, innovative new software that enables thin clients to provide all of the functionality of a personal computer at much lower cost.
Neoware's thin clients and software reduce costs, enhance security, and improve manageability for businesses around the globe. With the new products that Neoware is introducing in India, Neoware believes that it now offers the broadest family of thin clients available in India, with a variety of performance and expansion options, including:
Neoware Capio One
Neoware Capio One is the most cost-effective member of Neoware's fast, easy, affordable line of thin clients, available with a choice of Windows CE and Linux operating systems.
Neoware c50
The new Neoware c50 offers more processing power and a choice of Windows CE, Windows XPe, and Linux operating systems.
Neoware e100
The Neoware e100 offers even faster performance and available expansion with an optional PCI slot.
Neoware e370
The new Neoware e370 is the first integrated 17-inch flat panel thin client available in India from a market leader, offering all of the benefits of thin client computing in a sleek, space-saving design, with almost 30% more viewing area than comparable 15-inch displays.
Neoware Image Manager
Neoware Image Manager is innovative new software that eliminates a hard drive in a personal computer and flash memory in a thin client, significantly lowering costs. Neoware Image Manager streams the Windows XP operating system from a server to PCs or thin clients on-demand, providing all of the functionality of a PC, with the security and manageability of a thin client, at a cost that is lower than both.
Neoware's thin clients and software are ideal for organizations looking for the most cost-effective way to provide access to applications running on Windows, mainframe, midrange, UNIX, or Linux servers across local, wide-area and wireless networks, or over the Internet. Neoware thin client appliances, and Neoware Image Manager -- the only on-demand streaming software that is generally available for thin clients -- provide customers with a way to centrally manage and deliver their enterprise applications in a reliable, secure, and affordable way.
All Neoware thin clients work with Neoware ezRemote Manager, a proven, enterprise-class management solution that is in use today managing the largest, most complex thin client networks. Unlike proprietary management solutions from other thin client suppliers, Neoware ezRemote Manager is based on open, standards-based protocols, enabling enterprises to integrate Neoware thin clients with PC networks, and integrate thin client management with existing PC management tools, including Altiris, Microsoft SMS, and IBM Tivoli.
"Companies in India and around the world realize the need for more affordable, reliable, secure computing -- and are increasingly turning to thin clients," said Michael Kantrowitz, Neoware's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Neoware is committed to the Indian market. With additions to Neoware's product line immediately available for Indian enterprises, we believe that our customers here can now turn to Neoware for a complete line of thin client alternatives to traditional PCs."
"Neoware has responded to the specific requirements of the Indian market for thin clients and server-based computing," added Sowinder Singh, Director of Parrus IT Solutions, Neoware's partner in India. "The new products will provide tremendous benefits to organizations in India deploying server-based computing, providing them with the many benefits of thin client computing."
