Dell Cloud Client Computing today announced the release of
version 6 of Dell Wyse WSM desktop and application virtualization
software. This new release adds
server streaming capability to help organizations harness the
benefits of virtualization and cloud computing, while simplifying
management and deployment processes and helping to reduce costs. By
adding on-demand delivery of server OS images to Dell’s reliable
and secure end-user computing portfolio, Dell Wyse WSM 6 offers
another powerful computing alternative that helps organizations
quickly stand up new servers where and when needed, and gives
employees and students secured access to content regardless of
location.
Dell Wyse WSM delivers operating systems and applications
separately to stateless, diskless clients on demand, providing a
manageable, reliable and scalable PC computing experience from the
cloud. Unlike traditional VDI, Dell Wyse WSM enables the desktop OS
and applications to execute locally on the client, giving that
client the same look, performance, feel and function of a
traditional desktop PC, but storing all OS, applications, and data
in the datacenter. With no OS residing on the client, management,
support and updates, including Windows XP and Windows 7 migrations,
are done centrally and take considerably less time than with a
traditional distributed environment.
In addition to powerful and secure desktop and application
virtualization, Dell Wyse WSM 6 now also enables rapid and
efficient server image delivery to physical or virtual machines.
This new feature allows for more agile deployment, configuration
and management of virtual servers than existing methods – processes
that previously took hours are reduced to minutes.
Additional enhancements in Dell Wyse WSM 6 include:
- Dell Cloud Desktop BIOS
central configuration: This feature increases efficiency by
allowing for central configuration and management of the BIOS
settings on pre-configured Dell Cloud Desktops from Dell Wyse WSM.
Per-model and policy-based settings can be configured centrally on
the Dell Wyse WSM server.
- Expanded platform support: Dell
Wyse WSM now enables server and desktop streaming to Windows Server
Hyper-V and VMware ESX 5.1 virtual machines and above.
- Shared storage support: Storage
resources are optimized via shared support as servers no longer
require their own dedicated storage.
- Enhanced Active Directory
integration: For auditing and compliance needs, integration
with Active Directory allows administrators to monitor and control
access to Dell Wyse WSM administration through enhanced logging and
auditing capabilities.
- 64-bit support: Dell Wyse WSM’s
already extremely high-performance desktop and application
virtualization is enhanced with support for demanding 64-bit
applications.
- Partnership with
CloudVolumes to virtualize server applications:
Through the Dell Technology Partner Program, CloudVolumes
virtualizes everything above the OS and instantly delivers server
workloads, including applications, onto Dell Wyse WSM-streamed
servers. Administrators can now change the identity and nature of a
server instantly, enhancing flexibility, storage efficiency, and
agility in server management. For more information, visit the blog

Dell Wyse WSM is designed for large or small customers with
demanding user or server management requirements, looking to
optimize IT efficiency and cut costs. By reducing hardware needs
and administration demands, Dell Wyse WSM helps customers achieve
their system reliability, security and compliance goals.
“We have had a very successful beta testing period using Dell
Wyse WSM’s new features and are looking forward to continuing to
work with them,” said JP Gagne, president at Baremetalcloud. “Being
able to manage and pool together our physical servers as if they
were virtual is an entirely new capability in the market and it has
the potential to increase IT efficiency by leaps and bounds.”
Dell Wyse WSM Starter Kit
Customers and partners who would like to test and evaluate Dell
Wyse WSM now have a quick and inexpensive way with the Dell Wyse
WSM Starter kit. The starter kit is a turn-key, ready-to-use
solution that includes everything IT teams need to conduct a proof
of concept within one hour: server, clients, networking,
preinstalled software, and virtual desktops for up to three users.
In addition, the kit can be expanded to support up to 12 users with
minimal effort. Since all components can be reused in production,
the upfront investment risk is minimal. More information is

“The new Dell Wyse WSM server streaming feature demonstrates our
commitment to making powerful virtualization and cloud computing
tools practical and accessible to organizations of all sizes,” said
Jeff McNaught, Executive Director of Marketing for Dell Cloud
Client Computing. “This release is right in line with our goal to
be the one-stop-shop for any customers looking to reduce costs and
enhance business by optimizing their IT systems.”
