- Hyper-converged solution now available
for Citrix XenDesktop on the Dell EMC VxRail Appliance
- Flexible, scalable end-to-end VDI
solution for a variety of profiles including graphics-intensive
work
At Citrix Summit, Dell announced it is expanding its
hyper-converged infrastructure portfolio for VDI with a Dell EMC
VxRail Appliance V Series solution for Citrix XenDesktop, based on
Dell EMC PowerEdge R730 servers. VxRail Appliances are built for
performance, and address multiple use cases from high density
populations to graphics-intensive work or easy, scalable deployment
in remote offices. This solution highlights Dell’s commitment to
accelerate the adoption of virtual desktop infrastructure across a
vast range of use cases, making VDI an increasingly attractive
option for organizations of all sizes to deploy and manage a wide
range of virtual desktop environments. Dell will showcase the
solution at its booth #302 at Citrix Summit 2017.
Dell EMC VxRail Appliances are flexible and scalable based on
customers’ needs, available with either all-flash or hybrid
options. The latest VxRail Appliances, based on PowerEdge servers,
offer up to 250 times more configurations than the previous
release, twice the storage and up to 40 percent more CPU
performancei. The hyper-converged solution configurations are
specifically optimized for client virtualization in order to
provide simplified deployment and management of virtual workspaces.
It offers flexibility and high performance to accommodate a variety
of needs with the additional functionality of enhanced virtualized
graphics for demanding use cases.
Dell continues to drive innovation to make VDI easy to plan,
deploy and run for all virtualization environments. IT
administrators can scale the VxRail Appliance solution from three
to 64 nodes in as little as five minutes per node. The
space-saving, efficient design works in a variety of remote or
branch office configurations and is easy to maintain with “one
click” software updates. Organizations can order and deploy the
solution quickly, with setup occurring in a couple of hours.
The solution can be configured with multiple use cases from the
task worker to power worker, and includes:
- Flexibility and scale: Single
node scaling that allows customers to start small with an initial
three-node cluster and scale as required with a predictable, fixed
per-seat cost
- Simplified management: Single
management console of the entire appliance with included high
availability, backup and data recovery
- Discrete GPU capabilities: For
uncompromising, graphics-rich experiences and productivity with the
option of the NVIDIA M60 GPU with NVIDIA GRID software
“Organizations today have a variety of profiles within their IT
environment from the task worker to the power user, and are looking
for solutions that can address these needs without adding cost and
complexity,” said Steve Lalla, senior vice president, Dell
Commercial Client Software & Solutions. “The Dell EMC VxRail
Appliance solution for Citrix XenDesktop for VDI is easy to deploy
and manage, yet offers higher performance and flexibility for
multiple use cases.”
The VxRail Appliance solution for Citrix XenDesktop is the
second Dell solution for customers looking for a hyper-converged
infrastructure solution specifically designed for VDI. Dell is the
only provider to offer end-to-end VDI solutions from a single
source when configured with Wyse thin or zero client endpoints.
ThinOS 8.3.1 provides customers with greater choice in Citrix
zero clients
As previously announced in November, Dell cloud client-computing
customers now have more flexibility in how and where they deploy
thin client solutions within their Citrix environments. ThinOS
8.3.1 Wyse thin clients can be deployed as zero clients within a
Citrix installation. Many Dell customers use Wyse Xenith clients in
their Citrix environments today, and this gives them the ability to
seamlessly deploy next-generation ThinOS-based thin clients into
their existing Xenith infrastructures without losing any of the
features or capabilities that define the Citrix zero client
experience.
Availability
The Dell EMC VxRail Appliance solution for VDI is now available
through Dell EMC, its partners and distributors in the United
States and select countries around the world.
