Dell Unveils Simplified Path To Cloud, Virtualization, VDI

 Global ICT giant Dell and VMware, the Cloud and Virtualization software and services provider have announced enhancements to its end-to-end solutions for VMware from the datacenter to systems and device management to thin clients.

These new offerings were designed to enable customers with right-sized, easy-to-manage cloud, virtualization or VDI solutions to support their business needs.

Accordingly, Dell, on its part, is adding even more VMware capabilities to its comprehensive portfolio, and continuing to help solve customer challenges and create a simpler path to virtualized environments and the cloud.

Speaking on the new development, the Vice-President and General Manager, Engineered Solutions and Cloud at Dell, Jim Ganthier, said that several studies have shown the clear customer value and accelerated rate of repatriating previously public cloud only deployments to hybrid cloud environments.

According to Ganthier, “Dell’s innovations coupled with our ongoing and extensive VMware partnership enable our joint customers to rapidly design, deploy and manage hybrid clouds with true end-to-end solutions from the device to the datacenter with specific software, support and financial services to meet each customer’s unique journey to a hybrid cloud end state and deliver both business results and outcomes.”

Dell partner and Vice President, Identity and Access Management at Caradigm, Ralf Klein said, “Dell and Caradigm have a shared goal to build solutions that enable clinicians to spend more time with their patients. Incorporating Caradigm’s single sign-on and context management solutions with Dell’s virus immune Wyse ThinOS operating system provides our healthcare customers the fastest and most secure way to access critical patient information through thin client endpoints across a patient care facility.”

Dell has also released the latest version of its Wyse ThinOS operating system, ThinOS 8.1, the virus immune thin client operating system that delivers the latest high-performance desktop and application virtualization protocols, including VMware Horizon. Specifically designed for Wyse thin clients, from entry level to the high end, ThinOS 8.1 has expanded security features, better connectivity and even enhanced support for healthcare.

Dell has also released the latest version of its Wyse Cloud Client Manager, CCM release 8, a cloud-based management platform that manages thin clients, mobile devices, and Enterprise Mobility Manager (EMM) workspaces from a single console.

With its greater control, efficient location delivery and deeper platform integration, the CCM release 8 has taking cloud-based thin client management to the next level by expanding the availability of CCM to thin clients and Dell remains the only provider to offer integrated cloud and mobile device management options for thin clients from a single, cloud-based offering.
