KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Sep 11, 2007 -- Neoware, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), a leading provider of thin client computing solutions, today announced that Neoware Image Manager, Neoware's on-demand streaming software, is gaining adoption as an integral part of organizations ongoing virtualization strategies. By streaming operating system and applications, such as Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP, directly to the virtual desktop, burdens on IT support are lifted as they manage a single desktop computing image. Seeking a more cost-effective and efficient computing solution, organizations use Neoware Image Manager to improve upon traditional server based computing and desktop virtualization by achieving greater security, reliability, affordability and manageability while extending the life of the desktop.
Industries with complex computing environments - especially those with audio and video requirements, such as education, corporate training centers, and call centers - find great value in Neoware Image Manager. In situations where large numbers of computers are spread across different locations, maintenance can become a costly burden. An east coast University with more than 150 multimedia classrooms located across its large campus has experienced significant cost and time savings due to the centralized management capabilities of Neoware Image Manager. The staff can now restart classroom computers remotely, as well as centrally manage all applications on the servers.
Another organization realizing the benefits of Neoware Image Manager is Evry University in Paris, France. With Neoware Image Manager, Evry University has reduced the total cost of ownership on all of their desktops by more than 50 percent. Centralized operations are necessary and more efficient, as their desktops are distributed among separate classrooms and buildings. They have realized huge savings during deployment, support, and maintenance.
"Being able to centrally manage and dynamically provision images is fast becoming a core need for organizations," said Bill Bredbenner, chief technology officer of Neoware. "Neoware Image Manager offers educational institutions and training centers a reliable, high performance, and easily manageable solution that helps to lower IT support and maintenance costs. When combined with our thin client technology, organizations realize the added benefit of increased security. We continue to expand our offerings by providing our customers with the best possible features and robust capabilities."
