Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing and desktop virtualization, today announced that Mark Templeton, Chief Executive Officer of Citrix Systems, chose Wyse's game-changing zero client, Wyse Xenith™, to demonstrate Citrix XenDesktop during his keynote at Citrix Synergy 2010 in San Francisco today.

In front of thousands of Citrix customers and partners, Templeton asked Hector Angulo, Wyse Xenith™ Product Manager, to demonstrate how quickly and easily the zero client booted up into a XenDesktop environment within seconds. Angulo also demonstrated rich multimedia videos, providing a flawless experience – without using any PCs.

Templeton has served as CEO for Citrix Systems since June 2001 and has been responsible for Citrix's marketing strategy in server-based computing. Under Templeton's leadership, Citrix has become one of the world's top technology companies and a $1.6 billion leader in virtualization, networking and software-as-a-service (SaaS) technologies for more than 230,000 organizations worldwide. Wyse and Citrix began their partnership over 15 years ago, and the companies have evolved together, with Wyse building the desktop virtualization devices and software that make delivering the Citrix infrastructure to dozens or tens of thousands of users simple.

"Choosing Wyse to be featured in Citrix's keynote to demonstrate their technology vision during Synergy definitely communicates Wyse's strong partnership with Citrix and leadership in the thin computing market," said Ricardo Antuna, Senior Vice President of Product Management and Business Development and Alliances for Wyse Technology. "This is the second year in a row Citrix CEO Mark Templeton has used our solutions to deliver their technology announcement and we appreciate the continued support and confidence."

Wyse has taken everything learned from the past 28 years in the business, combined with its 15-year partnership with Citrix and delivered the Wyse Xenith™ zero client, built specifically for Citrix. Its performance, ease of management, security, low energy and ability to deliver the Citrix HDX experience as good or better than a PC make it the ideal endpoint for Wyse/Citrix customers.
