SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/21/12 -- Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing, today announced it has been recognized in CRN's 2012 Virtualization 100 list. Featuring the top 100 vendors in the virtualization space, the Virtualization 100 is an annual list published by UBM Channel's CRN that helps Solution Providers identify and evaluate virtualization products and programs. CRN lists are considered the de facto resource Solution Providers use to make strategic technology decisions and support their business.

Companies on the 2012 Virtualization 100 list were selected by CRN editors based on their innovative and forward-thinking approach to selling products and services through the IT Channel. Vendors on the list were selected based on their ability to help VARs transform themselves into true service providers that help organizations take advantage of the ease, flexibility, scalability, elasticity and cost savings that virtualization has to offer.

"With all the noise in the marketplace, it can sometimes be challenging for Solution Providers to determine which virtualization company would be the best to partner with," said Kelley Damore, Vice President, Editorial Director, UBM Channel. "That's why we developed our annual Virtualization 100 list, to highlight and outline the top 100 technology vendors in the space that power, support and evangelize the benefits of virtualization across all parts of the IT infrastructure. We congratulate each member or the Virtualization 100 for making this year's list."

Wyse's portfolio includes industry-leading thin, zero and cloud PC client solutions with advanced management, desktop virtualization and cloud software supporting desktops, laptops and next generation mobile devices.

"Wyse has earned a reputation in the market of extending the benefits of desktop virtualization to the end-point device. Our customers and channel partners can be confident that Wyse cloud client computing solutions enhance flexibility, control, security and ease of manageability regardless of the back-end virtualization environment that they deploy. We are honored to be named to the CRN Virtualization 100 list," said Jeff McNaught, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at Wyse.

The 2012 Virtualization list will be featured on CRN.com and in the May 2012 issue of CRN.
