Wyse To Supply Thin-Client Hardware and Management Software To Power Compaq's Next-Generation Thin-Client Offerings

San Jose, CA – 05/29/2001 - Wyse Technology, the worldwide leader in thin-appliance computing, today announced it will supply Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) with the company's thin-client hardware and Rapport management software as part of Compaq's recently announced thin client/server market strategy. This agreement extends the relationship Compaq has had with Wyse Technology in marketing and delivering thin-client solutions to corporate enterprises for nearly three years.

"This is another major step forward for the thin computing marketplace, and continued validation that Wyse is delivering the best thin-client hardware and management software in the industry," said George Skaff, vice president of worldwide marketing Wyse Technology. "Compaq has a large global presence in Fortune 100 enterprise-level companies that will help extend the reach of thin-client computing to new, untapped markets. This will complement Wyse's own market strategy and enable broader awareness and adoption of thin clients."

Wyse's mission is to help people communicate and access information easily and affordably. Wyse is accomplishing this through devices the company offers today, such as our Winterm thin clients, and those of strategic partners such as Compaq. Wyse recently extended its vision beyond the delivery of hardware devices to include the management software capable of driving the total cost of ownership of thin clients down even further. The combination of a proven hardware and management software present Compaq with a solid platform around which it can further develop and customize thin-client solutions for their new and existing customer base.

"The Compaq Evo T20 thin client is designed to provide our customers a range of Thin Client/Server solutions that deliver simplified IT management, lower total costs of ownership and increased resource efficiency,'' said Keith LeFebvre, Director, Workstations and Thin Client Business, Compaq Computer Corporation. "Wyse's delivery of management software makes Compaq solutions even stronger. With our new Evo line of thin clients combined with Rapport Administrative Software for Compaq, we are committed to serving the complete thin-client server computing needs of our customers, supported by our expanding strategic alliance with Wyse Technology."
