The story, “Wyse seeks partners to make thin-client PCs,” posted Wednesday, should have made it clear that the NetClient system-on-chip contains software from Wyse Technology Inc., but is designed and manufactured by ServerEngines LLC. The first sentences of the second and ninth paragraphs have been changed on the wire.
The second paragraph has been clarified and now reads:
Wyse Wednesday announced the NetClient system-on-chip, designed and manufactured by ServerEngines LLC. The chip empowers a hardware device to gain basic PC functionality, including local processing of graphics, video, audio and security. Compared to traditional desktops, thin-client computers can improve a company’s IT security and manageability because they draw their storage and processing ability from a remote server or data center, instead of keeping those valuable assets on every employee’s desk.
The ninth paragraph has now been clarified and reads:
The NetClient system-on-chip uses six processing cores to perform video compression and decompression on the chip. That means it can support up to 32 streams of video displays and voice VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol). Already, hardware vendors are looking for ways to use the technology in education, where it could allow an entire classroom of students to communicate over WiMax networks.
