Wyse Technology has announced a the letest addition to their Thin Computing enhancing suite TCX, called Wyse TCX Virtualizer. Wyse TCX Virtualizer is supposed to get USB Support in VDI environments up to the standard of a "normal" physical desktop.
Wyse TCX Virtualizer enables the connection and use of USB devices in VDI environemtns. As a result, Wyse thin client users can now access hundreds of USB 1.1/2.0 devices including printers, scanners, storage devices, Palm, BlackBerry, Apple, and Microsoft Pocket PC hand helds over a Citrix XenDesktop or VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment.
Wyse TCX Virtualizer consists of server and client software components that work together to enable USB devices within a virtualized desktop environment. With this product, users simply connect authorized USB based-peripherals to the thin client -- no local driver required. The appropriate driver is installed at the server and manages the functionality of the peripheral, greatly enhancing the user experience. This gives users more simplicity, flexibility and options when rolling-out thin client implementations.
Wyse TCX Virtualizer is available immediately priced at $25.00 per-seat.
