Wyse today announced a thin desktop device optimized for VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), based on Wyse's thin client OS technology. Wyse and VMware collaborated to make Wyse Thin OS - VDI Edition aware of key VDI-oriented technologies, enhancing the experience of IT and users deploying this innovative architecture. VMware's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables businesses and institutions to manage their desktops from the data center by placing a user's desktop environment in a virtual machine, hosted on an industry standard server, and accessed by a thin client on the user desktop. VDI simplifies and centralizes the execution of applications in the data center, reducing the costs and complexity associated with using PCs to deliver applications. Benefits include: • Consolidates and centralizes complete desktop environments within the data center • Virtualizes, optimizes, and manages server resources to host and deliver secure, isolated desktops that are always-on and accessible from anywhere • Improves security and compliance by centralizing sensitive enterprise data in the data center within isolated virtual machines • Built on VMware's market-leading VMware Infrastructure and leverages the significant benefits of desktop virtualization • Reduces physical maintenance on the desktop • Desktops can be remotely managed The new Wyse solution is expressly designed for the VDI architecture. It incorporates: The New Wyse Thin OS - VDI Edition This eliminates the user complexity around deploying the Virtual Desktop architectures, enables single pushbutton "power on to work" for virtualized environments and is integrated with popular connection broker technologies, and Wyse's popular S Class thin client device. Wyse is also a participant in the VMware Community Source program, an innovative collaborative development effort that provides open technology access to the source code and APIs for VMware ESX Server. The program combines the best elements of open source and enterprise development allowing partners to boost the level of functionality and slash the time to market of virtualization solutions for their customers. Wyse and VMware in August are embarking on a 40-city tour to jointly demonstrate this powerful new architecture. Wyse plans to begin shipping the new OS and device solution this quarter.
