“More than 200 million people interact with Dell Wyse solutions every day—from ATMs to kiosks to classrooms to hospitals. We continue to raise the bar for thin client manageability, security, performance and value, as well as lead the way with innovative form factors and OS support,” said Steve Lalla, vice president and general manager, cloud client computing, Dell. “When these new portfolio additions are combined with Dell’s data center infrastructure solutions for Citrix, customers from a broad range of industries can improve security, better protect their content, and sharply reduce ongoing costs – all while delivering the computing experiences their people demand.”

End-to-End Citrix XenDesktop Support

The Dell Wyse Xenith 3 zero client, the newest addition to the designed-for-Citrix Xenith line, enhances value by improving performance while keeping everything that customers already love about the Xenith 2. It is the first dual-core, System-on-Chip (SoC) Xenith zero client that features dual-band WiFi and horsepower to drive two high-definition displays, allowing customers to speedily and efficiently power through multiple tasks and workloads. The Dell Wyse Xenith 3 is certified for a wide range of Citrix HDX environments that enable the ease-of-use, security and manageability that organisations know and trust.

Also available is the new Dell Wyse Datacenter for Citrix XenDesktop 7.5, featuring comprehensive reference architecture with configuration support for a range of applications. This includes the recently announced Dell Wyse Datacenter for Virtual Workstations, which extends high-end, 3D, graphics intensive applications to virtual desktops leveraging shared virtual GPUs and includes a first-in-the-industry ISV certification process enabled by the Dell Center of Excellence for Virtualized Workstations. Dell Foglight, a new option, increases manageability through monitoring of performance, health and user experience for Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix XenApp and Dell infrastructure. With unified management across XenApp and XenDesktop with Citrix FlexCast, this new solution makes management simpler while improving productivity with a rich and customisable new feature set.
