By Our Staff Reporter
KARACHI, Aug 21: Dr John Kish, President and CEO of M/s Wyse Technology, USA, on Monday handed over a complete Wyse based ‘Thin-Client’ solution system to the Dawn Relief to give a boost to the latter’s efforts towards rehabilitating educational facilities at the Azad Kashmir University, which was destroyed in the last year’s earthquake.
The equipment includes WYSE S50 Linux-based Thin-Client along with associated monitors and servers with open source Linux-based software.
Javaid Ayub, coordinator Dawn Relief, Muzaffarabad, and director IT Board, Azad Jammu & Kashmir Government was also present at the occasion.
The Thin Clients are solid state units with no moving parts and consume a little amount of electricity (5 to 7 watts). They could be operated in harsh environmental conditions making this technology well suited for areas like Azad Kashmir that may have limited or ineffective infrastructures.
Since the donated equipment is a server centric solution, the device protects itself from virus attacks or misuse and can be connected to any operating systems such as Unix/Linux, Windows servers, Citrix servers, Mainframe computers or can be used via the internet browser.
Wyse Technology is the global leader in thin computing. Wyse and its partners deliver hardware, software, and services that comprise thin computing, allowing people to access the information with better security. Wyse’s South Asia headquarter is in Singapore with offices worldwide.
