Dell Introduces Two Additions To Its Cloud Client-Computing Portfolio

Today at the #Citrix Summit in Las Vegas, #Dell introduced two additions to its cloud client-computing portfolio aimed at optimizing communication for thin client users and for more cost-effective and efficient deployments of Citrix environments. Dell is releasing the latest version of its thin client software, #Wyse ThinOS 8.2 that will now offer Lync 2010, #Lync 2013 and the #Skype for Business client for Lync 2015 (UI mode) via the Citrix HDX RealTime Optimization Pack. Dell is also releasing a new version of its Dell Appliance for Wyse – Citrix.

These announcements highlight Dell’s push to accelerate VDI adoption across various use cases. Dell has been making innovations in VDI for several years now with the intent of making it a more attractive prospect for companies of various sizes. The announcements today geared more toward smaller companies that wish to deploy and manage VDI throughout their Citrix architectures.

In the latest release of Dell’s thin client software, ThinOS 8.2, workers using thin clients will be able to communicate in what Dell is claiming as clear, crisp high-definition audio/video calls in an optimized architecture. This is provided through the Citrix HDX RealTime Optimization Pack for Microsoft Skype for Business 1.8, Lync 2010 and Lync 2013. Users can communicate through audio and video or audio only and the communications are offloaded from the server to the end-user device minimizing the impact on the service and increasing the quality of the calls.
