Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise

Flexible, secure, and manageable thin-client solution

Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise is the industry's only enterprise-quality Linux operating system that combines the security, flexibility, and market-leading usability of SUSE Linux Enterprise with Wyse's thin computing optimizations in management and user experience. It is ideal for organizations who want to run server-based, web-based, or local applications (including legacy applications) without the deployment and security concerns of a non-standard Linux distribution.

Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise makes deploying Linux easier than any other thin-linux distribution by allowing devices to auto-upgrade and be centrally configured without the need for management software—all that is needed is a simple FTP server and a single text-based configuration file. Should administrators desire asset tracking or more hands-on management, they can use Wyse Device Manager at no additional charge (Workgroup edition). Additionally, with Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise, administrators can lock down applications, disable unnecessary configuration options, and provide read-only access capabilities to minimize data loss in case of theft, corruption, or virus attacks.

Reduce vendor lock-in and lower TCO

With Wyse Enhanced SUSE Linux Enterprise, organizations can reduce costs by simplifying deployments, minimizing management, and maximizing user acceptance. In addition, enterprises can reduce lock-in to expensive, proprietary software while remaining compatible with existing infrastructure (e.g., Microsoft Active Directory, Cisco VPN, etc).
