Symbio Technologies Unveils Affordable, Powerful, and Secure Computer Network

NEW ROCHELLE, NY-3/26/2003--Symbio Technologies debuted its Linux based, thin client network solution at the K-12 Technology Showcase. Dubbed the Symbiont, the system promises users a more powerful, secure, and affordable computer environment. Customers can use their existing Microsoft and Apple programs and perform all of their business operations, while eliminating most of the overhead and security issues associated with a standard computer network.

End users see familiar programs on an easy-to-use desktop. With applications loaded on the server and accessed using simple workstations, customers save on software licensing and support fees, can immediately deploy new programs and upgrades to all users simultaneously, and can reuse old hardware.

Symbio Technologies can set up the network in just a few hours and can install new workstations at the rate of one per minute. Thirty older machines can be upgraded into powerful workstations for the price of one new standard PC.

The Symbiont workstation is:
·   always as powerful as a high end server
·   free of any software or operating system that needs to be managed
·   less than half the price of an off-the-shelf or mail order computer
·   as small as a textbook
·   free of any breakable, moving parts
·   compatible with portable storage devices
·   completely silent
·   the most secure computing solution available

and has the lowest total cost of ownership compared to any solution in its class. Industry experts such as the Gartner Group estimate that a thin client network can save thousands of dollars in total cost of ownership (TCO).

The Symbiont is unique in that, unlike other thin client solutions, it has no embedded operating system," said Symbio-Technologies president, Roger Del Russo. That translates into secure, incorruptible workstations that will never become obsolete."
