Wyse Expedian software is simple, yet powerful, server software that increases performance and capacity on terminal servers. It is a cost-effective way to increase the number of users (at least 30 percent more users per server) and to save ongoing management costs by reducing the number of servers you have to manage.

Within Application Optimization are four distinct techniques, and within Application Shaping there are two. The three major enhancements in Wyse Expedian 3.0 are: Application Affinity -- part of Application Shaping, this feature allows IT departments to assign specific applications to specific processors on any given server in a server farm. This is important for ensuring that during any major spikes in server demand, a mission-critical application such as a financial reporting or CRM (Customer Relationship Management) An integrated information system that is used to plan, schedule and control the presales and postsales activities in an organization. call center application takes little or no performance hit. Application Priority -- also part of Application Shaping, this feature limits an applications' ability to cause performance degradation on the Terminal Server. IT departments can set specific levels of priority for applications, both enterprise-wide, and down to the level of users and groups. What this means is if a "rogue" application attempts to takeover server resources, but has been given a low priority by the IT department, the server will automatically reallocate Verb 1. reallocate - allocate, distribute, or apportion anew; "Congressional seats are reapportioned on the basis of census data" reapportion allocate, apportion - distribute according to a plan or set apart for a special purpose; "I am allocating a loaf of the resources the application is attempting to take, and reassign those resources to higher priority applications. Registry Optimization -- part of Application Optimization, this technique compresses the registry, freeing up resources for more sessions (more users), reduces user login Signing in and gaining access to a network server, Web server or other computer system. The process (the noun) is a "login" or "logon," while the act of doing it (the verb) is to "log in" or to "log on. times and overcomes system restrictions. Essentially, IT departments maintain even more users on the same number, or fewer servers, saving both server management time and money. Wyse Expedian includes an analysis service, an applications optimization process and a Microsoft Management Console A Windows NT/2000 feature that provides a common environment for running management software from Microsoft and third parties. Any type of administration service such as network management, antivirus management, disk management and authentication can be created as a Microsoft Management snap-in. If new applications or new versions of existing applications are loaded on a server, Wyse Expedian software automatically detects them and performs any necessary system adjustments during the next scheduled optimization session. With its powerful performance and capacity improvements, easy scheduling capabilities, and user-friendly reporting, Wyse Expedian software is ideal for busy IT staffs in a server-centric environment.
