With over 430 patents granted for innovation in cloud
client-computing, thin client design, management and security, Dell
is the expert in client virtualization and at the forefront of
enabling customers on their journey to digital transformation with
virtualized environments, whether from a private, public or hybrid
cloud. Dell is a leader in driving down the cost and complexity of
desktop virtualization, while providing better performance and
making it easier than ever to plan, deploy and run VDI. The
enterprise-class thin client can be easily scaled for deployments
to tens of thousands of devices, and offers a low total cost of
ownership by reducing IT’s time on ongoing management and
maintenance.
“Today’s knowledge worker requires access to highly efficient,
powerful systems and tools that will enable them to innovate,
collaborate and share information in a secure environment,” said
Steve Lalla, SVP, Commercial Client Software & Solutions, Dell.
“Our new Wyse 5060 quad core thin client provides the performance
and capabilities that knowledge workers in virtualized desktop
environments demand with the low acquisition cost and ease of
management that IT requires.”
The Wyse 5060 thin client features an AMD 2.4GHz quad core
processor that supports up to 8GB RAM and 64GB flash, offering up
to 30 percent greater performance over the previous generation.
Additional features include:
- Broad Operating System Support:
The Wyse 5060 is available with a choice in OS, giving customers
the ability to configure the thin client based on their specific
requirements. At launch, the 5060 can be purchased with Dell’s own
Wyse ThinOS software or with Windows Embedded Standard (WES) 7p. In
early 2017, an upgrade to Windows 10 IoT will be available for WES
customers, and the 5060 will also then be available with Wyse
ThinLinux.
- Innovative Security: Dell
provides more than one security layer with the Wyse 5060 thin
client. The device itself includes an embedded Trusted Platform
Module (TPM) chipset with the ability to recognize if a system’s
integrity has been compromised while safely storing encryption
keys, certificates and passwords. At the software level, Wyse
ThinOS software is an ultra-secure, virus-mitigated operating
system with unpublished APIs. For those opting for a Windows-based
thin client, organizations can benefit from an additional layer of
security with Dell Data Protection | Threat Defense, delivering
advanced threat protection against 99 percent of executable
malwarei.
- Robust Connectivity: To provide
the seamless user experience and productivity demands of today’s
knowledge worker, the thin client supports dual 4K (3840x2160)
monitors and provides multiple connectivity options with six USB
ports, two of which are USB 3.0 for high-speed peripherals, as well
as two DisplayPort connectors, wired networking or wireless 802.11
a/b/g/n/ac.
- Easy Manageability: Dell offers
a full suite of on-premise, off-premise, and auto management
software options to deliver robust, enterprise-level manageability
that can scale to tens of thousands of devices. Through the Wyse
Device Manager, IT teams can streamline remote configuration and
policy management of corporate and user-owned client devices –
including thin and zero clients, iOS and Android devices – through
a single, intuitive console.
The Wyse 5060 thin client is compatible with all of the major
virtualization software brokers including Citrix XenDesktop,
Microsoft RDS and VMware Horizon. VMware Blast Extreme remote
protocol is also supported on the WES and ThinLinux-based
versions.
ThinOS 8.3.1 provides customers with greater choice in Citrix
zero clients
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.
