Wyse ships desktop thin clients with VMware to simplify desktop delivery

VMware desktop virtualisation is now available on Wyse thin clients, to simplify desktop delivery.

The Wyse thin clients based on Microsoft Windows XP embedded, Wyse Thin OS and Linux will now ship with built-in support for VMware Virtual Desktop Manager 2, a component of VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

Now, customers can more easily deploy and manage Wyse thin clients to leverage VMware VDI.

VMware VDI streamlines desktop management, reduces operational costs and provides business continuity to offer enterprise-class performance, reliability, security, manageability and integration in a single desktop virtualisation system, said Wyse.

As part of VMware VDI, VMware Desktop Manager 2 allows users to securely connect to their virtual desktops in the datacentre, and gives IT administrators an easy and cost-effective way to manage virtual desktops.
