NEWS Unisys is to supply Bristol UWE (University of the West of England) with a thin-client system based on Microsoft Windows NT. The $4m contract using Unisys ES2043 enterprise servers, plus Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe software, will link 1,500 of the University's existing 4,000 PCs as thin-clients over the next 18 months. Twenty-four thousand students will be given access to a common set of software from any of the University's eight sites. The systems will also offer access from laboratories, libraries and halls of residence.
