Dell today announced the latest addition to its Cloud Client
Computing portfolio, Dell Wyse ThinOS 8 firmware and the Dell Wyse
D10D thin client. Built on Dell Wyse’s heritage as a leading
provider of thin clients and popular purpose-built thin client
operating system, Dell creates secure, manageable, and
high-performing end-to-end desktop virtualization solutions for
organizations using software from Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and
Dell.
The go-to source for secure virtual desktop solutions, Dell Wyse
designed ThinOS 8 firmware as well as the D10D thin client to
respond right out of the box to the increasing enterprise security
threats. Millions of people use ThinOS-based devices every day,
benefiting from its zero attack surface, so IT managers don’t have
to worry about vulnerabilities that plague other client operating
systems. Virus-immune ThinOS 8 eliminates the need for security
patches or expensive local software to safeguard against evolving
security threats.
Dell Wyse ThinOS 8
Proprietary to Dell, ThinOS 8 does not have any published API’s
or a local file system. It also includes AES disk encryption and
extensive EAP 802.X security protocol support to effectively
mitigate risk. As a purpose-built solution for thin clients, Dell
Wyse ThinOS 8 surpasses general purpose operating systems that are
much more easily exploited and require expensive and complicated
security measures as security threats evolve.
Dell Wyse ThinOS 8 is enterprise-ready with capabilities to
support common security needs, including smartcard, proximity card,
single sign-on, 802.1X, and extensive EAP security. If any ThinOS 8
device ends up in the wrong hands or is victim to attack, there is
no chance of corporate data being compromised or files being lost.
A seamless solution, customers are able to enjoy automated setup,
configuration, imaging and management, without any additional IT
support. Thanks to its native security and manageability
advantages, ThinOS 8 lowers the total cost of ownership of endpoint
devices helping organizations optimize their IT investments.
ThinOS-based thin clients are automatically self-managed, and as
the number of ThinOS-based thin clients scales within an
organization, they can be managed with on-premise software such as
Dell Wyse Device Manager, or cloud managed by Dell Wyse Cloud
Client Manager (CCM). Since CCM is delivered as
software-as-a-service, it enables remote visibility, control and
management of ThinOS devices wherever they’re placed, including
branch offices and work-from-home employees, without having to
install on-premise software, host a file server, or modify network
infrastructure as required by competitors. As a bonus, for a
limited time, customers with ThinOS maintenance will receive the
Starter edition of CCM at no extra cost. Find out more information
about this solution here.
ThinOS 8 offers users a fluid virtual desktop experience with
enterprise applications such as unified communications and support
for high definition graphics, Citrix HDX 3D, and Microsoft RDP8
(RemoteFX). In addition, ThinOS 8 introduces a custom RDP 8 client
to bring the latest RDP protocol features support combined with a
custom Citrix Receiver 3.x implementation. ThinOS 8 is unique in
its strong support of these advanced, high-fidelity virtualization
protocols on a non-Windows platform designed specifically for
optimal thin client security and performance.
The Dell Wyse ThinOS 8 firmware upgrade is available for several
existing Dell Wyse thin client models, including V10LE, C10LE, T10,
and R10L June 21st 2013 for all current maintenance subscriptions
and will come standard on the Dell Wyse D10D.
Dell Wyse D10D Thin Client
The first dual-core thin client paired with ThinOS, the D10D
gives customers a high performing hardware solution combined with
secure firmware. Users enjoy an instant-on experience and are able
to access their desktop in seconds. Adding to its responsiveness,
the D10D offers cutting edge wireless options supporting full
802.11 A/B/G/N with up to 300 MBPS connection speeds eliminating
delays.
With a hands-off setup, the new D10D thin clients arrive
enterprise-ready, and automatically update and configure once
connected to the network, enabling organizations to scale
deployments quickly and without the need for additional IT
resources. The D10D can be mixed and matched with other ThinOS thin
clients throughout an organization.
Dell Wyse also offers simultaneous dual digital displays with
dual monitor rotation, a feature invaluable for employee
productivity. Taking the user experience to a new level, powerful
hardware decoding in the Dell Wyse D10D supports 1080p A/V content
and virtualization protocols developed by Dell Wyse allow for
high-definition multimedia consumption and creation.
Even with its powerful performance, the D10D thin client upholds
Dell Wyse thin clients’ reputation for sustainability and light
carbon footprint, consuming only 12 watts of power. The D10D has a
long life-cycle benefiting the environment and increasing the
overall value of the solution for the best virtual desktop
experience.
The Dell Wyse D10D thin client is as powerful a solution as is
it cost-effective. It is available worldwide June 21 for $399
ECP.
