Vigilance can report that Dell this week announced additions to its desktop virtualization solutions portfolio which include new Dell OptiPlex FX170 and FX130 thin client desktop offerings. Designed for organisations that want business-class control, flexibility and productivity solutions for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments, the new OptiPlex thin clients is said to offer seamless connectivity within a desktop virtualization infrastructure.
As the way workers connect to and access business data and applications is rapidly changing, providing unprecedented levels of productivity and knowledge, correspondingly these changes are said to come with increasing expectations from IT in terms of support and productivity. It is therefore, the thinking of Dell that Desktop virtualization can help companies achieve both by delivering easy management, disaster recovery and flexibility for IT, while allowing end users to access data anytime, anywhere to maximise their productivity.
Sources at Dell said the new desktop virtualization offerings will complement Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DDVS),which is a comprehensive solution portfolio that leverages pre-packaged services with configured and tested hardware and software to deliver the datacenter architecture necessary to provide desktop virtualization capabilities.
Our InfoSec Team learnt DDVS addresses the design and implementation complexities associated with desktop virtualization and accelerates it so organisations can adapt to the changing dynamics of today’s more mobile and efficient global workforce.
“Dell is one of the only IT vendors in the world to deliver end-to-end desktop virtualization capabilities that span data centre and end-user technologies,” said Steven Lalla, vice president and general manager of Commercial Client Product Group, Dell. “The OptiPlex thin clients are designed to deliver the reliability, productivity and business-class control of a traditional OptiPlex system in an organisation’s desktop virtualization environment.”
