Neoware Introduces Thin Client Notebook to Solve Enterprise Local Data Loss and Security Problems

Business Wire
Neoware, Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), today introduced the Neoware m100 thin
client notebook, becoming the first leading global thin client
provider to offer the mobility of a notebook computer combined with
the security of a thin client. Unlike traditional mobile devices
that place potentially sensitive data at risk by storing
information locally on the notebook, Neoware m100 thin client
notebooks pose no data risk, as they have no hard drive and no
information � such as employee or customer data � can be stored
locally. All files and applications remain on the server where they
are better protected from data theft. The ramifications of lost
data are costly to individuals and organizations alike. According
to the Ponemon Institute, a leading research firm on privacy and
security, data breaches cost companies an average of $5 million per
incident in direct costs; and 20 percent of data breach victims cut
ties with the institutions that compromised their security.
Furthermore, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse has recorded that
over 93 million records containing sensitive personal information
have been compromised through data security breaches in the United
States alone. The superior data security enabled by the Neoware
m100 can also be a boon to organizations dealing with regulations
that strictly govern data privacy, including healthcare
organizations. �In today�s healthcare environment, organizations
such as ours find themselves under intense scrutiny by regulators
to ensure that their sensitive information is kept secure,�
explains Ed Sliman, Team Lead, Remote Computing, at Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Florida. �We want to be proactive in finding ways to
secure our data and have found that a server-based, thin client
computing model, such as the Neoware m100 mobile thin client, can
help solve many problems associated with keeping data secure.�
Klaus Besier, President of Neoware, sees the Neoware m100 thin
client notebook as a critical step in the evolution of thin
clients. He commented, �Thin clients have been heralded for more
than a decade as a secure and easy-to-administer computing model.
But until now, using a thin client largely meant users were
confined to a desk, impeding the adoption of thin clients for
workers who need mobile access. But in a world where fears over
data security are increasing, the Neoware m100 paves the way for a
new workforce that is safer, more secure, and mobile, while opening
up a new segment of the PC market for Neoware.� The information
access afforded by the Neoware m100 is changing how thin clients
can be deployed. �Mobile users have always required�flexible access
to applications and information from any location,� said David
Jones, Corporate Vice President of Business Development for Citrix
Systems. �What�s great about Neoware m100 is that it works with
Citrix application delivery infrastructure and provides secure,
on-demand access to information for mobile workers. Mobile users
can get access to their information anywhere, anytime while the
data is always kept securely in the data center.� With no hard
drive or fan, the Neoware m100 thin client notebook has no moving
parts, and therefore operates silently, with superior reliability
and a battery life of more than six hours. The Neoware m100
features a 15-inch screen, a variety of available country
keyboards, and has the capability for Ethernet, USB, built-in
Wi-Fi, or cellular connections, which enable data to be accessed
from any location � including offices, homes, and hotels. The
Neoware m100 notebook complements existing Neoware product lines,
and supports the Microsoft� Windows� XPe and Linux operating
systems. The Neoware m100 retails from $759 with Linux and $799
with Microsoft Windows XPe. Product shipments for the Neoware m100
with Windows XPe begin in October. Neoware m100 with Linux will be
available soon. For more details, contact Neoware. About Neoware
