The Wyred SystemTM

The Wyred System is a Linux-based computer system that provides computing (internet, word processing) and even programming through terminal services or network. It is a complete system that includes the Wyred Terminal Server, thin clients and the network.

The Wyred System consists of a powerful Wyred Server and low powered thin clients all connected by Local Area Network (LAN).

The system splits the tasks between the server and the thin clients. The thin client runs the input-output (mouse, keyboard, printer, etc.) and the graphical user interface (GUI) or the display through its monitor. On the back end, the Wyred Server runs the actual programs and connects to the thin client via the LAN.

 

How does the Wyred System work?

  • The thin client runs the GUI and input/output (mouse, keyboard, etc.). And because it is a thin client, there is no need for a hard disk to run the programs.







  • The Wyred Server runs the applications or programs itself.


  • The communication between the thin client and the Wyred Server is through the LAN.

    What are the ADVANTAGES of using the Wyred System?

    The Wyred System is a Linux/Network based system. It runs a variety of Linux and Java-based applications. It can do almost everything Windows can do.

    SECURITY. The system is far more secure than the most popular operating system today. It is not affected by majority of computer viruses. Even if it gets infected, because of its design, it will not spread. The virus will be isolated to the user account it infected. It is also equipped with SELinux and Firewall. With the system, you will have peace of mind.

    VERSATILITY. With Wyred, one gets to experience the real meaning of versatility. It can also run some Windows applications under an emulator like Wine and Crossover Office.

    CENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION . To some, centralization means easier manageability while for others, it means something more beyond manageability. It is a critical consideration to achieve productivity. Using Wyred System puts you in front of the steering wheel by giving you, the manager, control over the use of programs or applications within the network allowing only relevant applications to run on the thin clients.

    HUGE SAVINGS. The cost of running a Wyred System is far less than that of a traditional network. There is NO NEED to use a hard disk nor software to install and maintain in every workstation except for the server.

    Upgrades in hardware and/or updates in software are cheaper since only the server have to be upgraded and/or updated and not the workstations. Upgrading the server automatically renders the whole system upgraded or updated. Remember that all the programs are now run in the server and no longer individually in workstations.

    Furthermore, less manpower is required to run the system because you only have to manage the server and not the individual workstations. Since there are no hard disks installed at the workstations, there is less power consumption. Less heat is generated because earlier versions of processors are used. This means lesser demand on the cooling system. Lesser manpower and lower electrical consumption mean lower total overhead cost.
