Today at Citrix Synergy, the premier industry conference on
mobile work style solutions powered by cloud services, Dell
announced a broad range of innovative cloud client computing
technologies that deliver turnkey solutions purposefully built to
complement and enhance corporate IT environments based on Citrix
XenDesktop® and XenApp.

When organizations of all sizes are increasingly looking to
empower their employees with access to corporate information across
application platforms and devices, Dell and Citrix’s new cloud
client computing solutions provide customers with powerful tools to
work securely and productively. The combination of simplicity,
flexibility, and power in Dell’s technology creates an unmatched
end-to-end virtual computing experience and alleviates customer
pain points from the data center to the endpoint devices,
including: the Dell DVS Enterprise - Active System 800 for Citrix
XenDesktop, Dell DVS Enterprise for Citrix XenDesktop, Dell Wyse
Xenith Pro 2 zero client and the Dell Wyse D90Q7 and Z90Q7 thin
clients.
“Our strong relationship with Citrix is evident more than ever
within the innovative new technologies for Citrix’s desktop
virtualization solutions here at Citrix Synergy,” said Steve Lalla,
vice president and general manager, Cloud Client Computing at Dell.
“We have been able to raise the bar not only in our virtualized
desktops, but also in the functionalities that we bring to our data
center infrastructure solutions that give users an improved
computing experience and help to bring down the cost and complexity
of managing a desktop virtualization environment.”
DVS Enterprise end-to-end solutions for Citrix
XenDesktop
Dell introduced enhanced DVS Enterprise end-to-end solutions
that will support Citrix XenDesktop 7 and its unified
communications functionality. Dell offers three different
deployment offerings based on customer needs: a pre-integrated
system based on Dell’s Active System 800 solution, DVS Enterprise
supporting NVIDIA’s GRID for virtualized graphics and a cost
effective DVS Enterprise Integrated Storage solution. These three
end-to-end deployment options make it easier and less expensive to
roll out virtual desktops with Citrix.
- DVS Enterprise - Active System
800 – announcing support for Citrix XenDesktop 7 and the
unified communications functionality, this solution is built on
Dell’s converged infrastructure platform and combines Dell servers,
storage, networking, endpoint devices and infrastructure management
software into a pre-integrated system. Active System Manager is a
key component of the solution that extends the management
capabilities of Active System beyond the physical infrastructure to
the virtualized infrastructure and workloads. This helps
organizations accelerate the deployment and configuration of
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), maximize efficiency, and
deliver predictable and reliable VDI services to end users.
Dell is demonstrating the capability to
automate the deployment of Citrix XenDesktop 7 environments through
Active System Manager’s template based automation and orchestration
at the Dell booth #200.
- DVS Enterprise with NVIDIA GRID for
virtualized graphics – end-to-end solution that includes
support for XenDesktop and unified communications, as well as
incorporates NVIDIA GRID for support for virtualized high-end
graphics. GRID enables GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
virtualization and delivery of high performance 3D graphics and
visualization workloads running in virtual desktop and virtual
application environments. With GRID, users can securely access
multimedia, graphics intensive and rich PC applications from any
location and on virtually any device, while providing IT
departments with the ability to centrally host and manage sensitive
user data and resources.
- DVS Enterprise Integrated Storage
solution – a new end-to-end solution that includes
support for XenDesktop and unified communications, but with
local storage options to drive down the starting cost of
hardware acquisition for DVS Enterprise from $400 to less than $200
per user, by eliminating the need to purchase an expensive SAN
(Storage Area Network) and thereby making desktop virtualization
available to a broader range of organizations. This is a 50% cost
savings that changes the game for VDI adoption.
Incorporating Citrix XenDesktop and unified communications
within all three of these solutions provides an unprecedented range
of application support in a desktop virtualization environment and
a state-of-the-art management experience. Citrix XenDesktop
7 unifies applications, desktops and hosted VDI environments
with a common management platform, all while supporting virtualized
workloads based on Windows 8 and Microsoft Windows Server 2012, and
HDX 3D enabling virtualized graphics for OpenGL applications. Our
end-to-end unified communications solutions includes
deployment services and support for Microsoft Lync 2010, enabling
customers to extend the range of applications they can deliver to
include voice, data, and video teleconferencing within their VDI
environment.
Powerful end user computing solutions for virtual
desktops
Additionally, today Dell is introducing a range of new client
devices specifically developed for virtual desktop
environments:
Dell Wyse Xenith Pro 2 – Specifically built for Citrix
and Dell’s first dual-core zero client, Xenith Pro 2 is a high
performing endpoint for Citrix desktop virtualization environments
combined with secure firmware. The combination provides an
unrivaled user experience that is ideal for unified communications,
HD multimedia creation and consumption, and other applications
where endpoint performance is vital. The high performance, flexible
zero client also offers:
- Cutting edge dual-antenna wireless for
full 802.11 a/b/g/n with up to 300 Mbps connection speeds
- Powerful hardware decoding with support
for 1080p A/V content and dual digital displays, with rotation
- Easy and highly scalable management, to
over 100,000 devices, with Dell Wyse Device Manager software
- “Instant on” startup experience from
power-on to productive in under 10 seconds, combined with hands-off
enterprise scalable deployment, configuration and management
Dell Wyse D90Q7 and Z90Q7 – Dell has raised the
thin client bar by introducing quad-core thin clients based on
Windows Embedded with superior compute performance, energy
efficiency and HD multimedia for a broad range of desktop
virtualization environments, including Citrix, Dell, Microsoft and
VMware. These ultra-high performing fan-less and diskless thin
clients also provide:
- Flexible networking, I/O and storage
options for a wide range of deployment scenarios
- Infrastructure security due to the
centralized hosting of all applications and profiles
- Easy and highly scalable management, to
over 100,000 devices, with Dell Wyse Device Manager software
