KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Sept. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Neoware, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), a leading provider of thin client computing solutions, today announced that Marysville Police Department (MPD) has joined its growing customer base. Seeking a more cost-effective and efficient computing solution, MPD is using the mobility of the Neoware m100 by outfitting all officers with Neoware m100's to be used in patrol cars and other environments such as the station.
"Standard laptops were no longer feasible due to the high price point and the liability of data being compromised from a lost or stolen laptop," said Lieutenant Mike Kostas of MPD. "We could not have implemented a more perfect solution with Neoware m100's. MPD has been able to reduce costs, lessen the need of tech support and reach our ultimate goal of issuing a laptop as standard equipment."
In working with Neoware MPD sought to deploy a more robust mobile computing solution that could easily expand to accommodate the growing force and unique needs of a police department. Compared to standard laptops, the Neoware m100 uses a centralized server for hosting applications and processing data, storing no data on the local device -- an important benefit for government, healthcare and financial industries.
"We have seen more companies from all industries turn to thin client technology, as it has become a cost-effective solution," said Klaus Besier, president and CEO of Neoware. "Our Neoware m100 thin client laptop offers customers like Marysville Police Department, a reliable, secure solution that helps to lower IT maintenance costs, while providing mobile flexibility. We continue to work closely with our customers as we improve and expand the features and capabilities of our thin client products."
The first and only leading provider of thin client devices to offer a mobile laptop, the m100 offers several business benefits. In addition to superior security, with no hard drive or fan, the Neoware m100 has no moving parts, allowing it to operate with fewer points of failure than a traditional laptop, lowering IT maintenance and energy costs. Additionally, unlike traditional PCs, upgrades, patches, backup and security can be centrally administered from the datacenter.
