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



    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(R) Windows(R) 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.
