KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Oct. 4, 2004--Neoware Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:NWRE), the leading supplier of award-winning software, services, and appliances for thin client computing, today announced the launch of TeemTalk(r) 5.0. The most popular host access software for thin clients, TeemTalk 5.0 now provides SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and SSH (Secure Shell) security, as well as full interoperability with the Citrix(r) MetaFrame(r) Access Suite allowing Citrix customers to connect to host-based applications through a secure connection.
Neoware TeemTalk 5.0 was developed with enterprise users in mind. TeemTalk offers secure connections to host-based applications, emulates more than 30 different green-screen terminals for the widest range of compatibility with host-based systems and is available for a broad range of desktop, handheld and server operating systems, including Windows(r), Windows CE, Linux, UNIX, and Java. TeemTalk 5.0 extends Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite to integrate host-based applications within a Citrix desktop, without having to install emulation software on individual personal computers.
Neoware TeemTalk 5.0 provides a secure enterprise solution for Citrix, Linux, and Windows users by including SSL and SSH for enhanced security. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) provides users with encrypted communications across Internet connections. SSH (Secure Shell) provides secure authentication and secure communications, providing users with console login and secure file transfer.
Tested for interoperability with the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite, Neoware TeemTalk 5.0 is the most reliable, secure and manageable way for enterprise organizations to extend their mainframe and midrange applications onto nearly any type of computing device over wired or wireless networks.
Neoware TeemTalk 5.0 for the Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite is also integrated with Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager, enabling secure enterprise single sign-on to mainframe, midrange, Linux and UNIX systems. The combination of TeemTalk 5.0 and Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager enables users to automatically authenticate across multiple applications using a single logon, making signing-on secure, fast and easy, which can reduce support costs up to 25%.
With the release of Neoware TeemTalk 5.0, more than 30 of TeemTalk's text and graphical terminal emulation modes (including IBM 3270, IBM 5250, DEC VT, HP, Wyse and others) are now available unbundled, enabling enterprise buyers to cost-effectively choose the one or two terminal emulation modes that best fit their organization's host access requirements. Businesses that need dependable access to legacy mainframe or midrange applications can purchase the specific TeemTalk terminal emulation mode they need for only $59 per seat, and seamlessly leverage and extend their legacy assets using thin client appliances, Windows PCs, Windows-powered PDAs, UNIX(r) or Linux-based thin clients and desktops, or Java(tm) devices.
Businesses that require multiple terminal emulation modes can purchase the complete TeemTalk 5.0 host access suite, which includes all terminal emulation modes in a single comprehensive package for $189.
"TeemTalk 5.0 is the perfect solution for Citrix customers who want to bring on-demand access to their host-based applications," says Michael Kantrowitz, Chairman and CEO of Neoware Systems. "Up to 70% of enterprise data still resides on mainframes and midrange systems. Now businesses can access that data from their Citrix environment with Neoware TeemTalk 5.0. Using TeemTalk 5.0, Citrix customers can be confident that their host access will run seamlessly, entirely through Citrix, on any device."
