Neoware Demonstrates New Capio and Eon Thin Client Appliances at CeBIT 2002 in Hannover


KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., March 8, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Neoware Systems (Nasdaq:NWRE), the leading supplier of award-winning software, services, and solutions for the Appliance Computing market, today announced the Company will demonstrate its thin client appliances and ezRemote Manager software during CeBIT 2002. Neoware will exhibit its products through a partnership with Thinprint in Hall 3, booth C31 and with Citrix in Hall 3, booth B29.

CeBIT 2001, which takes place in Hannover, Germany from Wednesday, March 13 through Wednesday, March 20, 2002, is one of the largest information technology events in the world with approximately 8,000 exhibitors and attendees from Europe, the U.S., and Asia. During the weeklong event, Neoware will exhibit its award-winning Eon products, new Capio 500 and 600 Series products, and latest ezRemote Manager software.

Neoware's new Capio 500 and Capio 600 Series set aggressive new price points for thin client appliances and, along with Neoware's Eon product line, offer significantly more capability than competitive thin clients. Compatible with Microsoft Windows Terminal Services and Citrix(r) MetaFrame(r) software and supporting Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA(r)) and Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Neoware thin client appliances let users run the latest Windows-based applications from a server, without the administrative and overhead costs associated with personal computers. The new Capios offer all of the features and capabilities required by enterprise customers, with the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Available with a wide range of terminal emulations and the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser for connection to Windows, UNIX, MetaFrame servers, and Web-based applications, the Capio product line offers scalable functionality to meet various user requirements.

Neoware's Eon and Capio products are managed using Neoware's ezRemote Manager software, an enterprise-class suite of tools designed to dramatically lower the cost of managing thin client appliances. This powerful software allows administrators to discover, configure, and upgrade any appliance on a network without traveling from desk to desk.
