MultiClient™ MultiSeat™ bundle enables schools and businesses to deploy up to four times as many computer users for the same cost.

WALNUT, Calif. April 11, 2012

ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing solutions,
and Userful, the world leader in cloud managed Linux desktop
virtualization, today announced a partnership to deliver a low cost
zero client solution that enables schools and businesses to deploy
three to four times as many computer users for the same cost. The
MultiClient solution turns one Linux computer into 20+ high
performance independent computer stations (with monitors, mice and
keyboards) using the ViewSonic VMA line of zero clients and Userful's
MultiSeat software. It provides all the benefits of traditional thin
client computing, but with higher performance, and lower costs.

The ViewSonic VMA line of zero clients enable customers to connect
multiple computer stations to a single host computer either directly
over USB (for a close-proximity, "one room" solution) or using
ethernet for a LAN based solution that can connect stations
throughout a building to a single PC in the server room.

Powered by Userful MultiSeat Linux software, ViewSonic's MultiClients
dramatically reduce the cost of deploying large numbers of computers.
Having a classroom of students engaging with technology once required
a PC for each individual, but with ViewSonic's MultiClient solution,
a full classroom of learning is powered by only one small server. The
result is the compromise-free reduction of hardware and power costs.

"We are committed to providing quality education solutions that
deliver cost savings for schools while enhancing cloud based
learning," said Erik Willey, LCD monitor and PC product marketing
director for ViewSonic. "With a single server, our MultiClient LAN
adapters, and Userful's MultiSeat Linux platform, classrooms can
create a fully-managed low cost network. With our MultiClient
solution, budgetary and IT management setbacks are addressed and
compatibility issues are eliminated, so no student has to settle for
limited learning."

"We've already successfully deployed nearly a million Userful zero
client stations around the world," said Tim Griffin, President of
Userful. "This OEM partnership with ViewSonic, a company with 25
years experience delivering fantastic computing and display
solutions, creates a complete software, hardware, and support
solution, ready to work out of the box. The bundled solution delivers
optimized performance for a very low cost, perfect for schools and
businesses."

Ministries of education and businesses are eligible for a free pilot
to easily experience first hand the high performance, and ease of use
of the solution.
