Aladdin and Wyse partner for virtual desktops

Mumbai : Aladdin Knowledge Systems and Wyse Technology announced a
worldwide partnership. Wyse and Aladdin will provide enterprises a secure and
flexible solution combining Wyse thin client roaming computing and Aladdin
eToken strong authentication for secure access to corporate resources from any
computer, safeguarding corporate information while increasing productivity.

The joint solution can be viewed at the Aladdin and Wyse booths during the
Citrix Partner Summit event at the Walt Disney World Dolphin and Swan Resort in
Orlando, Florida on October 26 to 29. Both Wyse thin clients and Aladdin eToken
are Citrix Ready Certified Solutions.

The Aladdin-Wyse solution allows users to securely access vital corporate
information and applications via the Wyse's thin client virtual environment.
Using Aladdin eToken certificate-based smartcard authentication, Wyse thin
client users are able to securely connect to corporate resources from any
computer, increasing productivity while on the road and ensuring organizations'
security standards. The solution enables users to simply verify their identity
with their eToken device, and to launch their individual desktop profile at the
same point at which they ended the previous session, enabling the user to resume
work immediately even if they log in from a different workstation.

By combining roaming desktop capabilities with smartcard-based login,
organizations are able to prevent unauthorized access to secured networks by
eliminating walk-by security breaches. Aladdin eToken allows companies to more
easily comply with regulations that require two-factor authentication to protect
sensitive data, such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX, and many others.

"We've seen tremendous growth in the thin client market and anticipate much
more as corporations increasingly turn to thin computing to reduce costs and
enhance security for mobile computing by combining strong authentication with
virtual desktop technology," said Ricardo Antuna, VP-Business Development and
Product Management, Wyse Technology.

"Secure network access and strong authentication is a growing concern among
organizations in order to maintain a secure environment, comply with regulations
and prevent data loss," said Shailendra Sahasrabudhe, Country Manager, Aladdin
Knowledge Systems.

Aladdin and Wyse will collaborate on a worldwide basis to promote the joint
solution, enabling secure multi-session support, increasing user productivity by
enabling fully functional application interfaces and improving security
compliance by leveraging two-factor authentication technology. Channel partners
and resellers will add value to their customers by offering a scalable and
flexible solution to address customers' needs to reduce operational costs while
improving security measures.
