Martin Eberhard began his career as an electrical engineer at Wyse Technology, where he designed the WY-30 ASCII computer terminal as his first product. Eberhard went on to be a founder of Tesla Motors. David Dix worked first on the very first Wyse terminals and later the high end personal computers, as well as at HP, prior to Wyse, and is now at ShoreTel. Wyse CTO Curt Schwebke and CMO Jeff McNaught prototyped and led the design of the first Winterm products. They are also holders of the first thin client patent. McNaught later architected the idea of a Citrix-focused "Zero Client", Called Wyse Xenith. Citrix and Wyse partnered to make the Xenith one of the best-selling thin-clients of all time, based on its ease of use, support of Citrix key features, and improved data security capabilities. ==Facilities==
