Geeeez. My jaw dropped when I saw this one (Note the section I put in bold):

 

"Simplify Suite is a one download, one exec utable, one license per-server
solution that requires minimal configuration for optimal performance, at a
price point that makes sense for organizations of all sizesSimplify Suite is
a one download, one exec utable, one license per-server solution that
requires minimal configuration for optimal performance, at a price point
that makes sense for organizations of all sizes"

 

Then the next paragraph:

 

"Simplify Suite is available immediately at a suggested retail price of
$2,999 per server (US).."

triCerat Launches Industrys First Integrated Management Suite for 


Server-based Computing Environments


 

Simplify Suite 4.0 Incorporates Day Zero Framework for Boosting Terminal
Server Performance, Reliability and Security

 

COLUMBIA, MD.  April 11, 2005  triCerat, a leader in enterprise software
purpose-built to simplify and enhance the operation of Microsoft. Terminal
Server, today launched Simplify Suite 4.0.  The industrys first fully
integrated and channel-ready suite of management tools for optimizing
server-based computing environments including Microsoft Terminal Server and
Citrix. MetaFrame..  Simplify Suite combines four management applications
into a single, intuitive console for streamlining, automating and optimizing
the most challenging aspects of Terminal Server configuration: profiles,
resource management, printing and user environments.  triCerat unveiled the
Simplify Suite and its Day Zero technology vision at the inaugural BriForum,
a technical conference for the server-based and thin client communities
underway April 11-12 in Silver Spring, MD (www.briforum.com
<http://www.briforum.com/> ).

With the release of Simplify Suite 4, triCerat offers organizations using
Terminal Server (TS) a set of applications that help administrators with
common TS issues, said Bill Heldman, analyst, Enterprise Management
Associates. The product addresses the need for TS management solutions,
potentially helping to reduce costs, streamline administrative effort, and
enhance quality of serviceall in keeping with ITIL Service and Support
Management. 

             Founded in 1997 and best known until now for ScrewDrivers, the
industrys first self-configuring printing system, which eliminates the need
for print driver management, triCerat has built its business resolving the
inherent limitations of Windows Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame
environments.  Now, the company is extending its expertise based on customer
feedback and its extensive knowledge of what Windows and Citrix
administrators need to do their jobs more effectively.  

triCerat has more than 3,000 customers globally including Sprint, Boeing,
and Georgia Pacific that count on triCerats Day Zero technology to prevent
common Terminal Server problems before they cause IT downtime.  The company
also boasts a reseller channel with over 250 VARs, system integrators and
consultants worldwide, which will be key for triCerats aggressive growth
strategy.

             At Grange Insurance, weve found that triCerats current
products, notably Simplify Printing and Simplify Lockdown, greatly reduce
the time and effort required for supporting our Citrix farm, said Bill
Conklin, senior lead microcomputer analyst, Grange Insurance. By
integrating all of their core technologies into a single management console,
the new Simplify Suite v4 will further reduce the complexity of managing
Terminal Server environments like ours, saving more time and money, while
also making it easier to deliver the quality services our users demand.

Simplify Suite 4.0 Gives Control Back to System Administrators

Simplify Suite is the most powerful and comprehensive package of integrated
server management applications available for reducing the cost and
complexity of administering and supporting Terminal Server-based
infrastructure.  The suite is made up of the following integrated products,
centrally managed through the Simplify management console:

7        Simplify Printing  Simplify Printing incorporates triCerats
fourth-generation triMeta driverless printing technology, which enables
full-function printing on any printer, from any application. Simplify
Printing also provides an advanced driver-management service that works
in-conjunction with or independent of triMeta, streamlining print
configuration for environ ments that require drivers. 

7        Simplify Lockdown  Simplify Lockdown dramatically improves system
reliability and security by creating a locked down user environment that
prevents people from running unauthorized applications, tools and scripts.
It incorporates triShell, a hardened user environment that replaces Windows
Explorer and features an innovative granting technology that overcomes the
complexity and liability of policy based configuration and scripting.

7        Simplify Profiles  Simplify Profiles provides personalized user
environments without roaming profiles, boosting user satisfaction and server
reliability. It also creates single-point of control for registry
administration, ensuring reliability and consistency of registry keys across
the server farm. In addition, Simplify Profiles a lso gives administrators
the tools they need to truly control the server environment at the user,
group or terminal level  from the drives users see to the default printer
they use.

7        Simplify Resources  Simplify Resources overcomes application
performance problems by taking control of the way Windows allocates and
manages CPU and memory resources  automatically.  It dramatically improves
the user experience and increases the number of sessions that can be
effectively supported across farms.  Simplify Resources also provides
real-time system monitoring and reporting capabilities in the WMI format,
tracking performance across an entire farm, per server, session and
application.

At triCerat, we have a deep understanding of the limitations of
server-based environments  whether with an operating system add-on like
Citrix MetaFrame or Microsoft Terminal Server alone.  Simplify Suite is the
result of that understanding and experience  a management framework that
makes the system administrators life easier and server-based environments
perform so that they truly meet our customers requirements for performance,
reliability and security, said John Byrne, president and CEO of triCerat.
Simplify Suite is a one download, one exec utable, one license per-server
solution that requires minimal configuration for optimal performance, at a
price point that makes sense for organizations of all sizes.

             Simplify Suite is available immediately at a suggested retail
price of $2,999 per server (US), including a one year maintenance contract
that provides automatic, priority access to the latest product upgrades and
enhancements.  More information is available by contacting (410) 715-4226.
