Wyse Management Suite 3.1 release

I am excited to announce that the new Wyse Management Suite 3.1 is about to be released soon.

The public cloud update for customers with US1 subscription, will begin on Friday, December 4th, at 7:00 pm PT and is expected to last 8 hours.

Customers using Wyse Management Suite Pro Cloud with EU1 subscriptions should expect it to be unavailable for 8 hours on Saturday, December 11th, 2020 from 4:00 am to 12:00 pm CET.

During this time, the portal will be unavailable and users will be redirected to a maintenance page. There may also be brief periods when the maintenance page is unreachable. However, this will not affect the Thin Clients’ ability to connect to their computing environments.

Customers using the on-prem version, can download the WMS 3.1 version here from December 4th, 2020.
