Devon IT Announces Thin Clients Orderable from IBM in China

With Full Support for IBM Virtual Client Solutions, Devon IT's Thin Clients
Provide Cost-Effective Approach to Managing and Accessing Virtualized Desktops
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
Devon IT-China today announced its new thin client products with IBM part
numbers are orderable from IBM. Devon has worked directly with IBM to launch
this complete line of thin client solutions that complements IBM's Virtual
Client Solutions (VCS) infrastructure.

"We are committed to providing industry-leading and cost-effective thin client
technology for users," explained Joe Makoid, President, Devon IT. "When a market
and technology leader like IBM is progressing thin client/hosted client
architecture and collaborate with leaders such as Citrix and VMware, it is
obvious that the current approach to desktop computing is shifting. We have
always been proponents of server-centric computing and centralized management as
a way for IT managers to reduce costs dramatically. Devon Thin Clients provide
IBM customers an easy and cost-effective way to order complete hosted desktop
solutions from one source."

"The China market is looking for new and innovative ways to provide cost
effective desktop computing," said Daniel Kum, Executive, IBM Greater China
Group, System x Platform. "The Devon alternative to the traditional desktop PC
provides increased security, centralized management, and adds operational
flexibility to desktop computing. The variety of virtual client solutions,
coupled with Devon IT's thin client, is a potent combination that makes it easy
for IT managers to evaluate, assess, and ultimately implement their own
virtualized desktop environments."

The IBM Virtual Client Solutions bring important benefits to the information
technology (IT) department. In addition to delivering security and control, the
Virtualized Hosted Client Infrastructure will enable companies to support more
users with fewer resources, while offering the best possible desktop experience
from virtually anywhere and on virtually any device.

Devon's thin clients with IBM part numbers provide a complete set of desktop,
mobile and specialized thin client solutions that will meet any end user
requirement.

TC2

The ultra-small and inexpensive TC2 is an ideal desktop replacement for
businesses looking to downsize their infrastructure and reduce management and
power costs. The small form factor unit consumes only 8 watts and is completely
silent. Despite its size, it is fully-functioned and allows users to connect to
a variety of servers and virtual desktops. The TC2 is exclusively a Devon IT
product and is orderable through IBM using an IBM part number.

TC5

The TC5 is a next-generation thin client from Devon IT for users who need high
performance from a small footprint client. The TC5 gives users the capability to
use multiple displays with one stateless unit. This ultra-advanced desktop
appliance supports dual DVI video, internal wireless (Optional) and comes with
either the DeTOS Operating System or Windows XP Embedded. The TC5 is exclusively
a Devon IT product and is orderable through IBM using an IBM part number.

TC10

The TC10 is the highest performance desktop access device in the world. It is
the first desktop access device that gives the end user a true PC experience
with instant screen updates, full multimedia support, and full USB
compatibility. It connects to the HC12 Workstation Blade using PC-over-IP(tm), a
technology that changes the desktop computing model by enabling desktop
consolidation benefits to be realized across the enterprise. Unlike a
traditional RDP thin client, the TC10 is for demanding users that require real
time PC-like capability such as financial traders and power users such as CAD
engineers. The TC10 is equivalent to the IBM CP20.

HC12

The HC12 is the latest remote workstation innovation from Devon IT. This
high-performance remote workstation uses the advanced PC-over-IP technology by
Teradici. PC-over-IP allows Devon IT to deliver centralized computing solutions
with powerful benefits and no trade-offs to demanding workstation users. The
HC12 connects to Devon IT's TC10 - the highest performance desktop access device
in the world. The HC12 is a Devon IT product and is orderable through IBM using
an IBM part number.

Devon Thin Client Software

Devon's software, which includes its DeTOS operating system and its Thin Manage
management suite allows IT managers to easily create, deploy and manage their
virtual desktop infrastructure. VDI is complex and therefore requires a holistic
management framework to orchestrate the many components required for successful
virtual desktop delivery and management. Devon's suite of software streamlines
and simplifies desktop virtualization deployments, enabling IT organizations to
gain greater management and control, ensure data and asset security, deliver a
superior end-user experience, and provide enterprise business continuity and
cost reductions.

"We are partnering with IBM to accelerate hosted client solutions like the VCS,"
noted Jiang Tao, General Manager of Beijing-based Devon IT. "Our thin clients
that are orderable from IBM can help customers immediately access any
application without changing the architecture, touching the infrastructure or
rewriting code and that is exactly what they are looking for in a secure access
hosted client solution."
