Wyse Winterm Terminals:

13 Reasons Why They’re the perfect Desktop for the Application Service Provider (ASP) Model


  1. They’re Easy to Set-up and Install
  2. Wyse® Winterm™ Windows® - based terminals set up in five minutes or less, and don’t need a techie to do the job. They can be preconfigured before delivery, or set up to seek their configuration from the server the first time they start up. It’s no hassle for the user, or ASP, to get these units up and running.

  3. They Don’t Break

Winterm terminals have demonstrated a Mean Time Between Failure rate of 175,000 hours, more than 21 years. That’s because they have no moving parts—no hard drives, no floppy drives, none of the fans that PCs need to keep cool—so the main causes of failure have been eliminated. And if yours does break, it takes five minutes to replace, with no loss of data, and little loss of time.

  1. Your Data Is as Secure as Your Software

With thin clients, you don’t have local hard drives or local storage, so all your corporate data—just like applications you’ve outsourced to your ASP—is secure and safe, and regularly backed-up by your ASP. No more worries about data "marooned" on broken hard drives, or lost at sea" on computers that have been stolen

    4.    You Can Put Them Almost Anywhere

Because thin clients have no moving parts and are more robust than PCs, you can put them in places you wouldn’t dare place a computer: in high contamination areas, on manufacturing lines, in purified laboratories, in public areas.

  1. For a High Powered Solution, They’re Quiet, Low Energy, and Surprisingly Petite
  2. Since they lack moving parts, Wyse terminals don’t make noise. They’re low users of electricity, as low as 7 watts. And they’re so small, you can tuck them away out of sight, so they don’t take up precious workspace.

  3. You Can Use Them Forever
  4. Well, maybe not forever—but for a long time. And that’s not just because they aren’t computers; they link into your servers, and can do so productively, effectively, efficiently, and easily for many years, while your ASP does the software and hardware upgrades on its servers. You don’t have to worry again about "upgrading" every two or three years; thin clients could last you a decade.

  5. You Users Will Be More Efficient
  6. Think of this: a device that gets you up and running in less than half a minute, instead of 3-5 with a Windows operating system. Or this: now users don’t have to be computer administrators to do their jobs—they just turn on the device and go to work, since all administration is left to the professionals at your ASP.

  7. They’re Easier to Manage
  8. Winterm terminals are the easiest business computing machines for anyone to manage. All their various attributes and features can be remotely configured, changed, and upgraded by your ASP, behind the scenes, out of sight from you and your workforce. There are no PC’s which can be as completely or as easily administered from afar.

  9. They’re Theft-Proof
  10. Have you ever lost a computer to theft? It won’t happen with a Winterm terminal, because a Winterm terminal is not a computing device. Without the connection to your ASP, it does not work.

  11. They Add to Your Workforce Flexibility
  12. Want your employees to work from home, but are unable to provide them with computers? Winterm terminals will do the job better. They cost less, won’t be a hassle for your employees to manage, and will give them added flexibility in doing their work.

  13. They’re Virus and Hack-Proof
  14. Have recent viruses or hack attacks caused you worry about your network and data security? Thin clients put that to rest . Winterm terminals are, themselves, hack-proof and virus-proof, and enhance the security your ASP brings to your applications and data.

  15. They’re Easy to Service and Support
  16. By now, this shouldn’t surprise you. If you had a device that didn’t break, you’d expect the cost and frequency of maintenance to drop. If your users didn’t have the hassle with administering their own software and hard drives, you’d expect the number of calls to the Help Desk to plummet. And by outsourcing the desktop hardware to your ASP, you can let their Help Desk handle all your users’ support needs—both hardware and software.

  17. You’ll Get Better Productivity and Efficiency

Thanks to your ASP, you’ll now get all your software upgrades and bug fixes faster, and without hassle or disruption. Your users won’t have to suspend work while a technician upgrades their system. Your employees won’t be disheartened by endless and mysterious problems and repair cycles. People can now focus on their jobs, and let their "desktop devices" become tools, not obstacles.
