Neoware Systems Displays Latest IT Solutions

Neoware Systems, a leading supplier of award-winning software, services, and solutions for the server-based appliance computing market, announced that it will display its complete server-based and appliance computing solutions in booth no. 1342 at Retail Systems 2002 Conference and Exposition at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL on June 24-27, 2002.

Neoware will demonstrate how server-based solutions comprised of its thin client appliances and associated remote management software benefit the retail market. Neoware provides flexible, cost-effective systems to customers such as Havertys Furniture, Keystone Automotive, and some of the nation's largest discount chains. By enabling system administrators to remotely discover, configure, upgrade, and maintain their thin client appliances from a central location, retail organizations are able to manage their whole network, performing upgrades and maintenance, without traveling from site to site. Additionally, Neoware products allow customers to seamlessly connect and consolidate their operations, quickly deploy new applications, and easily upgrade to meet ongoing needs such as wireless requirements and custom configurations. Neoware thin clients can be locked down to prevent unauthorized changes or data theft, eliminating security risks and making them ideal for both point of sale and retail back-office applications.

Neoware thin client appliances are ideal for retail environments with their high performance, superior connectivity, small footprint, and lowest total cost of ownership. With Neoware's remote management software, systems administrators are able to configure and manage thin clients from a central site or remote location, significantly lowering the cost of desktop administration and improving user access to critical applications. Compatible with Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame, Neoware devices and software let users run the latest server-based and Web-based applications, without the administrative and overhead costs associated with personal computers. Users have a choice of models that support Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), as well as Web browsers and terminal emulations for connection to Windows, UNIX, and MetaFrame servers, the Internet, and mainframes.

Retail Systems is America's Leading Retail IT and Supply Chain Event. A combination of the Retail Systems Conference & Exposition and the VICS Collaborative Commerce conference, this forum provides an opportunity for the entire retail industry to gather and discuss both technology and business issues from a retail, wholesale, and manufacturing perspective.
