KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., March 7, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Neoware Systems (Nasdaq:NWRE), the leading supplier of award-winning software, services, and solutions for the Appliance Computing market and a Premier member of the Citrix Business Alliance(tm)(CBA), today announced that it has partnered with Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CTXS) to sponsor the iForum Paris 2002 Conference, being held Tuesday, March 12 through Wednesday, March 13, 2002, at the CNIT La Defense in Paris. Neoware's products will be displayed at booth P9 at the conference.
Neoware will exhibit the latest thin client appliances and ezRemote Manager software. Compatible with Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix(r) MetaFrame(r) software and supporting Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA(r)) and Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Neoware thin client appliances let users run the latest Windows-based applications from a server, without the administrative and overhead costs associated with personal computers.
Neoware will demonstrate its Eon product family along with the new Capio 500 and Capio 600 Series, which set aggressive new price points for thin client appliances, and offer significantly more capability than competitive thin clients. Offering high performance, broad compatibility, superior ease-of-use, and a small footprint, the new Capio models are the first thin clients from an industry leader to provide all of the features and capabilities required by enterprise customers, with the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Available with a wide range of terminal emulations and the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser for connection to Windows, UNIX, MetaFrame servers, and Web-based applications, the scalable functionality of the new Capios meet various user requirements.
Neoware's Eon and Capio products are managed using Neoware's ezRemote Manager software, an enterprise-class suite of tools designed to dramatically lower the cost of managing thin client appliances. This powerful software allows administrators to discover, configure, and upgrade any appliance on a network without traveling from desk to desk.
"Neoware is pleased to sponsor iForum Paris 2002 with Citrix," stated Michael Kantrowitz, president and CEO of Neoware Systems. "This venue provides the perfect opportunity for Neoware to demonstrate the latest Eon and Capio thin client appliances to the European market. Our most recent product releases, the Capio 500 and 600 Series, offer a fast, easy, affordable thin client solution and represent the best way for customers to run virtually any application at the lowest total cost."
