| Neoware introduces $299 thin client |
Feb. 26, 2002
King of Prussia, PA -- (press release excerpt) -- Neoware Systems, Inc. today introduced the newest members of the fast, easy, affordable line of Capio thin client appliances. Neoware's new Capio products set aggressive new price points for thin client appliances, and offer significantly more capability than competitive thin client devices. These new Capio models incorporate the latest Neoware software technologies and are available immediately through the Capio distribution channel worldwide.
Neoware's new Capio 500 and 600 families enable customers to run the latest Windows-based applications from a server without a PC. Capio thin client appliances provide high performance, broad compatibility, superior ease-of-use, small footprint, and the lowest possible total cost of ownership, all at low prices designed to save money. Beginning at a street price of $299, the entry-level Capio models are the first thin clients from an industry leader to provide all of the features and capabilities required by enterprise customers. Standard capabilities of the new Capio models include a fast 300MHz processor; up to 1280x1024 screen resolution; windowed connections to boost user productivity; an internal power supply with no external 'brick' to save space and improve reliability; a rugged metal casing that can be placed next to or under a monitor; serial, parallel, and PS/2 ports for legacy connectivity; two USB ports; and audio for multimedia applications.
The new Capio models, as well as all other Neoware 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. Individual appliances can be locked down and secured from user changes, further minimizing administrative and technical support costs. Neoware's ezRemote Manager lets administrators discover every thin client appliance on the network, view and change the configuration of each appliance, and save this information in a database, enabling total life cycle management and driving administrative costs down. The Full Advantage Service Package, standard on most models, includes Neoware's ezRemote Manager Enterprise Edition.
Addressing the concerns of customers whose needs simply are not met by the competition, the new Capio family offers more features at the same or lower prices than competitive products, an end-to-end Microsoft solution with a lower total cost of ownership than competitive products, and lower acquisition cost than competitive products. In addition, the Capio 600 Series fits perfectly into Microsoft's .NET strategy. Should customers want to take advantage of Microsoft .NET and Web-based services, Neoware allows them to simply upgrade existing units to Windows CE .NET, to obtain support of key Microsoft .NET technologies such as Internet Explorer 5.5 and XML without the purchase of new hardware.
Neoware's Capio Series are available immediately worldwide from over 300 Neoware resellers at a starting U.S. street price of $299 and an estimated European street price of Euro 435.
