[4] Dell Cloud Client Computing is partnered with IT vendors such as Citrix, IBM, Microsoft, and VMware.

Wyse sold through 2-tier distribution, which limited growth in the late 1980s as mail order companies like Dell and Gateway entered the marketplace.

In 1984 Wyse became one of the leaders in the general purpose text (GPT) terminal industry and on August 17, 1984, went public on the New York Stock Exchange.

[10][13] In January 1986, Wyse acquired Amdek Corporation, a popular maker of aftermarket personal computer monitors, for $8.5 million in a stock swap.

[14][15] Under Wyse's ownership, Amdek released a series of IBM PC compatibles while continuing to offer their mainstay monitors.

In 1990 Dr. Morris Chang organized Channel International, a Taiwan consortium, which gathered business owners together and was a booster for Taiwanese individuals owning U.S.

Wyse created a proprietary upgradability concept called Modular Systems Architecture, or MSA.

As the PC and server industry became more competitive, in 1994 Wyse management began to focus on making the next generation of terminals.

They worked on enabling them to support the graphics and capabilities needed to display Microsoft Windows and Internet applications.

[19] The machines differed from traditional text-mode terminals by supporting modern GUI applications using a mouse and windowing systems.

Because of the greater bandwidth this requires these machines typically use ethernet connections to the server, rather than the RS-232 links used in the past.

[20] In 1997, Microsoft released Windows NT Terminal Service Edition, which supported the Wyse thin clients.

[19] In April 2005[19] the controlling interest of Wyse was acquired by Garnett & Helfrich Capital, a private equity firm specializing in venture buyouts.

[21] In 2005, Wyse, working closely with Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware,[23][24] expanded thin clients to support the newly introduced virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).

[19][26] In August 2007, Wyse recapitalized, with overseas investors regaining the controlling interest from Garnett & Helfrich Capital.

[31] Martin Eberhard began his career as an electrical engineer at Wyse Technology, where he designed the WY-30 ASCII computer terminal as his first product.

Wyse CTO Curt Schwebke and CMO Jeff McNaught prototyped and led the design of the first Winterm products.

It has sales offices around the United States and in:Wyse has published research on the environmental benefits of cloud client computing.
