Thin client vendor Wyse Technology has announced a desktop device optimised for VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Wyse and VMware collaborated to make Wyse Thin OS – VDI Edition aware of key VDI-oriented technologies.
VMware’s Virtual Desktop Infrastructure enables businesses and
institutions to manage their desktops from the data centre by placing a
user’s desktop environment in a virtual machine, hosted on an industry
standard server, and accessed by a thin client on the user desktop. VDI
simplifies and centralises the execution of applications in the data
centre.
"VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure delivers value to our customers
through improved security and manageability. Since the announcement of
the VDI Alliance in April, we have been collaborating with several
partners to deliver virtual desktop offerings to the enterprise," said
Jerry Chen, director of enterprise desktop platforms and solutions,
VMware. "We are excited to work with Wyse within the VDI Alliance and
our Community Source programs to deliver their first VDI optimised
product offering which will enable our customers to quickly adopt and
deploy VDI within their environments."
Wyse is also a participant in the VMware Community Source program, a
collaborative development effort that provides open technology access
to the source code and APIs for VMware ESX Server.
"Wyse is very excited that our work with VMware has already resulted in
a VDI-enabled thin desktop operating system -- a tremendous new
offering for our enterprise customers," said Ricardo Antuna, vice
president of business line management, Wyse Technology. "In the future,
by working through VMware’s Community Source program, we will
incorporate into the VDI architecture innovative features, such as
multi-media, USB peripheral support and new thin client devices."
