Wyse Technology is an American company that is a leading manufacturer in Cloud Client Computing
. Products include thin client
hardware and software as well as desktop virtualization
. Other products include cloud software-supporting desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Wyse Technology is partnered with IT vendors such as Cisco
, Citrix, IBM
, Microsoft
, VMware
.
Wyse Technology was founded in 1981 by Garwing Wu, Bernard Tse, and Grace Tse. The company became famous in the 1980s as a manufacturer of character terminals. Most of these terminals can emulate several other terminal types in addition to their native escape sequences. These terminals were often used with library
information systems (electronic card catalog
). The Wyse 99GT and 160 terminals added graphical capability through Tektronix 4014
emulation.
In 1984, Wyse entered the personal computer
marketplace. The first of these was the Wyse 1000, a computer based on the Intel 80186
(which did not see huge volumes due to poor compatibility with the 8088
). Next came the WYSEpc, an IBM
-compatible computer based on the 8088 processor, which had a good following due to its slim-line design. Later, Wyse introduced personal computers compatible with the IBM AT based on the 80286
and 80386
, which were top sellers. Wyse sold through 2-tier distribution, which limited growth in the late 1980s as mail order companies like Dell
and Gateway
entered the marketplace. In 1984 Wyse became one of the leaders in the general purpose text (GPT
) terminal industry and on August 17, 1984 went public on the New York Stock Exchange
. In the following years, Wyse added the PC product line Wyse pc3216. In 1989 Wyse developed LAN
-attached communication devices.
in company owned facilities. In 1990 Dr. Morris Chang
organized Channel International, a Taiwan consortium, which gathered business owners together and was a booster for Taiwanese individuals owning U.S. companies. In 1990, Channel International acquired Wyse.
From 1990 to 1994 Wyse focused on PCs with CPU upgradability. Wyse created a proprietary upgradability concept called Modular Systems Architecture, or MSA. In October 1992, Wyse became ISO 9001:2000 certified.
In the mid 1990s Wyse Taiwan became the parent company of Wyse Technology. As the PC and server industry became more competitive, in 1994 Wyse management began to focus on making terminals. They worked on enabling them to support the graphics and capabilities needed to display Windows and Internet applications. In late 1994, the company developed two thin client
prototypes, and selected Citrix, then a small company, to provide the protocol and server side of the model.
The machines differed from traditional text-mode terminals in that by supporting modern GUI
applications using a mouse
and windowing system
s. The clients are able to access these applications using protocols that send drawing commands or raw pixel
data (instead of strings of text characters) over the data connection. Because of the greater bandwidth
this requires these machines typically use ethernet
connections to the server, rather than the RS-232
links used in the past.
In November 1995, Citrix and Wyse shared a booth at the Comdex
tradeshow. Wyse introduced the Winterm windows terminal (now referred to as a thin client) models 2000 and 2500. Citrix introduced WinFrame, the Windows NT
-based “Windows mainframe” software it connected to. At the show, the Wyse Winterm was awarded the “Best of Comdex” award. Later, Wyse secured a patent (# 5918039) for the thin client design. In 1997, Microsoft released Window NT Terminal Service Edition, which supported the Wyse thin clients.
After the thin clients were well-received by the market, Wyse introduced several additional models, including stand-alone (Winterm 2300), LCD monitor-integrated (Winterm 2600), and the tablet-shaped mobile Winterm 2900 and 2930 models. In 1997, Wyse introduced the first thin-client remote management software system, Wyse Remote Administrator.
In 1999, Wyse Technology once again went public, but this time on the Taiwan Stock Exchange
(TSE).
specializing in venture buyouts.
In 2005, Wyse, working closely with Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware
, expanded thin clients to support the newly introduced virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). In April, Wyse and IBM
signed a Joint Initiative Agreement (JIA).
Tarkan Maner was appointed CEO in February 2007. Under Maner, the company significantly expanded research and development.
In August 2007, Wyse recapitalized
, with overseas investors regaining the controlling interest from Garnett & Helfrich Capital. In March 2008 the company formalized a partnership with Novell
. In October of that year, Wyse formed a global partnership with IBM under the Global Alliance Agreement.
In August 2010, Wyse created its Mobile Cloud Business Unit with the introduction of Wyse PocketCloud. The mobile cloud app allows users to access their desktop on iOS
or Android devices. In the same month, Wyse became ISO 9001:2008 certified, and in November became ISO 14001:2004 certified and announced a "Strategic Collaboration Partnership with Cisco.
The company introduced zero clients in 2010.
According to the IDC
, as of 2011 Wyse is an international leader in what are called "enterprise devices" (terminal clients and thin clients combined).
began his career as an electrical engineer at Wyse Technology, where he designed the WY-30 ASCII
computer terminal as his first product. David Grus, Philip Graham, Jo Ellen Wagner and Kevin Martin were some of the first engineers working on the WY-1000, and later the WYSEpc. This team had previously worked at Hewlett-Packard
in the early 80s, where they worked on HP's first personal computers, such as the HP-150 touch screen computer. As of 2011 Graham and Wagner are at Cisco
working on that company's TelePresence range, Graham as the lead.
David Dix worked first on the very first Wyse terminals and later the high end personal computers. David also worked at HP prior to Wyse. Dix is working at ShoreTel
