Solectron Corporation (NYSE:SLR), a leading provider of
electronics manufacturing and integrated supply chain services, today
announced that it has entered into an agreement with Wyse Technology,
the worldwide leader in thin computing solutions. Solectron will
manage all aspects of the supply chain, including logistics and
after-sales support for the Wyse product line.
"We are delighted to be working with an industry-leading electronics manufacturer like Solectron," said Steve Shevick, CFO at Wyse Technology Inc. "We strongly feel that Solectron's global footprint in manufacturing and services, coupled with their supply chain services and financial strength, makes Solectron the strongest choice as our partner."
Wyse thin clients run legacy, packaged and web-based enterprise applications safely on central servers using a thin display protocol. Applications do not traverse the network and are not downloaded into the thin client, eliminating reliability, manageability, user security and bandwidth issues common with PCs. Wyse thin-client infrastructure solutions run on multiple platforms including, Windows, Linux and Wyse OS, Wyse's market-leading thin-client operating system. Enterprises spend billions of dollars to ensure that their computer systems are secure, reliable and managed. Wyse's products address these issues through a combination of multifactor security, 180,000-hour MTBF reliability and Wyse's device management software, saving their customers time and money.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by Wyse to manufacture their thin-client product line," said Doug Britt, executive vice president of Sales and Account Management for Solectron. "Wyse is delivering innovative technology and solutions to the market. Coupled with our company's industry-leading supply chain services, we feel that this will be a very successful relationship for both companies."
