Wyse Technology Domindates Thin-client Market for Eighth Consecutive Year

New IDC Research Shows Company's Aggressive Growth in 2005, More than Double Rate of Competitors

San Jose, CA – 07/12/2005 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin-client computing, today announced the company has extended its number one position in the thin-client market in the first quarter of 2005, according to a recent report from International Data Corporation (IDC). According to Framingham, Massachusetts-based IDC, Wyse Technology secured 38.15 percent of the overall worldwide enterprise thin-client market, growing product shipments at an aggressive 14.7 percent over the prior quarter. The IDC report on the thin client market is based on shipment records and information from the major vendors and their channel partners.

"Wyse started 2005 with greater unit growth than any other major vendor in our survey, outgrowing the market as a whole," noted Bob O'Donnell, Research VP, Clients and Displays with IDC. "We predict the thin client market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20.7% from 2005 to 2009, significantly outpacing the overall growth rate of the PC market."

The report showed Wyse's nearly 15 percent product shipment growth was more than double that of competitors HP and Neoware.

"We stand alone with these remarkable growth rates because of our commitment to investment in a world-class management team, global R&D operations and industry leading software, hardware and service solutions," commented John Kish, CEO of Wyse Technology. "We are driven by our customers and the overall market, to continually invest more in the development of our devices and infrastructure management software than anybody else in the industry. With this report, we are seeing the results of our customer-driven and aggressive efforts in the domestic and global marketplace."
