Wyse Technology, Inc., or simply Wyse, was an independent American manufacturer of cloud computing systems. Wyse are best remembered for their video terminal line introduced in the 1980s, which competed with the market-leading Digital. They also had a successful line of IBM PC compatible workstations in the mid-to-late 1980s. But starting late in the decade, Wyse were outcompeted by companies such as eventual parent Dell. Current products include thin client hardware and software as well as desktop virtualization solutions. Other products include cloud software-supporting desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices. Dell Cloud Client Computing is partnered with IT vendors such as Citrix, IBM, Microsoft, and VMware.

On April 2, 2012, Dell and Wyse announced that Dell intended to take over the company.Press-release [http://content.dell.com/us/en/corp/d/secure/2012-04-02-dell-acquisition-wyse-technology.aspx Dell Announces Intent to Acquire Wyse Technology] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130128052333/http://content.dell.com/us/en/corp/d/secure/2012-04-02-dell-acquisition-wyse-technology.aspx |date=January 28, 2013 }}, April 2, 2012 With this acquisition Dell surpassed their rival Hewlett-Packard in the market for thin clients.[http://www.information-age.com/channels/data-centre-and-it-infrastructure/news/2096693/dell-buys-thin-client-market-leader-wyse.thtml Dell buys thin-client market leader Wyse], April 2, 2012 On May 25, 2012, Dell informed the market that it had completed the acquisition.{{cite web|title=Dell Completes Acquisition of Cloud Client Computing Leader Wyse Technology|url=http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/secure/2012-05-25-dell-acquisitions-wyse|publisher=Dell.com|date=May 25, 2012|access-date=October 5, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004063643/http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/uscorp1/secure/2012-05-25-dell-acquisitions-wyse|archive-date=October 4, 2013|url-status=dead}}

History

=1980s=

File:WyseTerminal100.jpg / Wyse 120)]]Wyse Technology was founded in 1981 by Garwing Wu, Bernard Tse, and Grace Tse. The company became famous in the 1980s as a manufacturer of character terminals. Most of these terminals can emulate several other terminal types in addition to their native escape sequences. These terminals were often used with library card catalogs such as Dynix. In 1983, Wyse began shipping the WY50, a terminal that was priced some 44 percent lower than its nearest competitor. It became their first big-selling product, and had a larger screen and higher resolution than competitor products at the time. Following the WY50 was the WY60, the best-selling general purpose terminal of all time. In addition to standard character-mode operation, the WY60 supported box graphics that could be used to produce more attractive displays. The Wyse 99GT and 160 terminals added graphical capability through Tektronix 4014 emulation. The WY325 and 375 models added color support with Tektronix graphics.

In 1984, Wyse entered the personal computer marketplace. The first of these was the Wyse 1000, a computer based on the Intel 80186 (which did not see huge volumes because its integrated hardware was incompatible with the hardware used in the original IBM PC). Next came the WYSEpc, an IBM-compatible computer based on the 8088 processor, which had a good following due to its slim-line design. Later, Wyse introduced personal computers compatible with the IBM PC/AT based on the 80286 and 80386, which were top sellers. Wyse sold through 2-tier distribution, which limited growth in the late 1980s as mail order companies like Dell and Gateway entered the marketplace. In 1984 Wyse became one of the leaders in the general purpose text (GPT) terminal industry and on August 17, 1984, went public on the New York Stock Exchange. In the following years, Wyse added the PC product line Wyse pc3216. The Wyse 3216 was based on Intel's newest 386 chip. It sold for $1,500 less than a comparable Compaq DeskPro, $2,000 less than an IBM System 80, and performed at a higher speed than both. In 1989, Wyse developed LAN-attached communication devices.

In January 1986, Wyse acquired Amdek Corporation, a popular maker of aftermarket personal computer monitors, for $8.5 million in a stock swap.{{cite journal | last=Staff writer | date=January 29, 1986 | url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/397946346/ | title=Wyse Technology | journal=The Wall Street Journal | publisher=Dow Jones & Company | page=1 | via=ProQuest}}{{cite journal | last=Gupta | first=Udayan | date=July 2, 1986 | url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/397976788/ | title=Venture Capitalists Press Mergers of Troubled High-Tech Fledglings | journal=The Wall Street Journal | publisher=Dow Jones & Company | page=1 | via=ProQuest}} Under Wyse's ownership, Amdek released a series of IBM PC compatibles while continuing to offer their mainstay monitors.{{cite journal | last=Moran | first=Tom | date=June 1, 1987 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yjAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA6 | title=Amdek Offers Five Modular PC Systems; 2 New Monitors Support IBM VGA | journal=InfoWorld | publisher=IDG Publications | volume=9 | issue=22 | page=6 | via=Google Books}} Wyse kept the Amdek brand going into the mid-1990s.{{cite journal | last=Miller | first=Dan | date=May 1994 | url=https://archive.org/details/pcworld125unse/page/80/ | title=Amdek Joins the Nineties with New Monitors | journal=PC World | publisher=IDG Publications | volume=12 | issue=5 | page=80 | via=the Internet Archive}}

In June 1987, Wyse acquired Fremont CA based terminal manufacturer Link Technologies Inc. in exchange for an undisclosed number of Wyse common shares.{{cite news|last=Times|first=L.A.|title=San Jose-based Wyse Technology signed a definitive...|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-06-04-fi-4532-story.html|access-date=April 30, 2024|newspaper=L.A.

Wyse was an early innovator in off-shore electronics production, with its products being built in Taiwan in company owned facilities. In 1990 Dr. Morris Chang organized Channel International, a Taiwan consortium, which gathered business owners together and was a booster for Taiwanese individuals owning U.S. companies. In 1990, Channel International acquired Wyse.

Image:Wyse Winterm.JPGFrom 1990 to 1994 Wyse focused on PCs with CPU upgradability. Wyse created a proprietary upgradability concept called Modular Systems Architecture, or MSA. In October 1992, Wyse became ISO 9001:2000 certified.

In the mid-1990s Wyse Taiwan became the parent company of Wyse Technology. As the PC and server industry became more competitive, in 1994 Wyse management began to focus on making the next generation of terminals. Four employees were directed to investigate and chart the next product course for the company. In 1994, executives Curt Schwebke and Jeff McNaught proposed a new type of terminal that would combine the low costs of terminals with the advanced display capability of Windows PCs. A year of R&D resulted in the most advanced terminals Wyse had developed to date. They worked on enabling them to support the graphics and capabilities needed to display Microsoft Windows and Internet applications. In late 1994, the company developed two thin client prototypes, and selected Citrix, then a small company, to provide the protocol and server side of the model.

The machines differed from traditional text-mode terminals by supporting modern GUI applications using a mouse and windowing systems. The clients are able to access these applications using protocols that send drawing commands or raw pixel data (instead of strings of text characters) over the data connection. Because of the greater bandwidth this requires these machines typically use ethernet connections to the server, rather than the RS-232 links used in the past.

In November 1995, Citrix and Wyse shared a booth at the Comdex tradeshow. Wyse introduced the Winterm windows terminal (now referred to as a thin client) models 2000 and 2500. Citrix introduced WinFrame, the Windows NT-based “Windows mainframe” software it connected to. At the show, the Wyse Winterm was awarded the “Best of Comdex” award. Later, Wyse secured a patent (# 5918039) for the thin client design. In 1997, Microsoft released Windows NT Terminal Service Edition, which supported the Wyse thin clients.

After the thin clients were well received by the market, Wyse introduced several additional models, including stand-alone (Winterm 2300), LCD monitor-integrated (Winterm 2600), and the tablet-shaped mobile Winterm 2900 and 2930 models. In 1997, Wyse introduced the first thin-client remote management software system, Wyse Remote Administrator.

In 1999, Wyse Technology once again went public, but this time on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).

=2000-present=

In 2000 Wyse acquired Netier Technologies of Texas, and turned Netier's Rapport thin device management software into the Wyse Device Manager. In 2003 Wyse went private and company shareholders reorganized the company, selling assets such as real estate and company-owned manufacturing facilities in favor of contract manufacturing. In April 2005 the controlling interest of Wyse was acquired by Garnett & Helfrich Capital, a private equity firm specializing in venture buyouts.

Image:noPC Wyse.png]]In 2005, Wyse, working closely with Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware, expanded thin clients to support the newly introduced virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). In April, Wyse and IBM signed a Joint Initiative Agreement (JIA).

Tarkan Maner was appointed CEO in February 2007. Under Maner, the company significantly expanded research and development.

In August 2007, Wyse recapitalized, with overseas investors regaining the controlling interest from Garnett & Helfrich Capital. In March 2008 the company formalized a partnership with Novell. In October of that year, Wyse formed a global partnership with IBM under the Global Alliance Agreement.

In August 2010, Wyse created its Mobile Cloud Business Unit with the introduction of Wyse PocketCloud. The mobile cloud app allows users to access their desktop on iOS or Android devices. In the same month, Wyse became ISO 9001:2008 certified, and in November became ISO 14001:2004 certified and announced a "Strategic Collaboration Partnership with Cisco.

The company introduced zero clients in 2010.

According to the IDC, as of 2011 Wyse is an international leader in what are called "enterprise devices" (terminal clients and thin clients combined).

In April 2012, Dell announced an agreement to purchase Wyse for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was completed on May 25, 2012.{{cite news|last=Inc|first=Dell|title=Dell-Wyse-Acquisition|url=http://www.wyse.com/about/press/release/2054|access-date=May 25, 2012|newspaper=Dell, Inc.|date=May 25, 2012}}

Notable employees

Martin Eberhard began his career as an electrical engineer at Wyse Technology, where he designed the WY-30 ASCII computer terminal as his first product. Eberhard went on to be a founder of Tesla Motors.

David Dix worked first on the very first Wyse terminals and later the high end personal computers, as well as at HP, prior to Wyse, and is now at ShoreTel.

Wyse CTO Curt Schwebke and CMO Jeff McNaught prototyped and led the design of the first Winterm products. They are also holders of the first thin client patent. McNaught later architected the idea of a Citrix-focused "Zero Client", Called Wyse Xenith. Citrix and Wyse partnered to make the Xenith one of the best-selling thin-clients of all time, based on its ease of use, support of Citrix key features, and improved data security capabilities.
