Wyse Technology Announces a Zero-Client Solution with Citrix HDX
The company says its cloud-based virtual desktop will “fundamentally change the user experience and economics of desktop computing.”
At the Citrix Synergy 2010 conference last week, Wyse Technology and Citrix Systems Inc. announced Wyse Xenith, a zero client solution with Citrix HDX technology. The companies told attendees that the solution will “fundamentally change the user experience and economics of desktop computing for office-based workers.”
“Companies in all industries are increasingly adopting virtual desktops as a mainstream technology with the goal of increasing security, simplifying desktop management, and offering users flexibility,” Citrix states in a press release submitted to EH Publishing.
The company says with its universal Citrix Receiver software client, Citrix XenDesktop customers have the flexibility to extend virtual desktop access to a broad range of devices, including PCs, Macs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
The new Wyse Xenith zero client solution with Citrix HDX technology takes the concept of thin clients to a new level. It requires no local configuration or management, has virtually no attack surface for malware, auto-discovers XenDesktop right out of the box, and quickly launches a full Windows desktop.
“Desktop virtualization gives customers new ways of empowering workers that are orders of magnitude simpler, more flexible, and more secure than traditionally managed desktops,” says Citrix CEO Mark Templeton.
The Wyse Xenith zero client will be available June 2010.
