Dell has recently released 2 new models, the Dell Wyse 5470 Thin Client Laptop and a 24″ All in One thin client!

The big news here is it’s the first thin client laptop Dell has released that runs Wyse ThinOS. The thin laptop also comes in Windows 10 IoT along with the ThinLinux platform. We’ve had Windows and Linux based thin laptops in the past but we’ve always had demand for a ThinOS version so it’s finally here!

The other Dell Wyse first is a ThinOS based 24″ All in One which we seen lots of interest in the healthcare space and other verticals interested in AIO’s. This replaces the previous 21.5″ ThinOS and the 24″ Teradici based options we had.

New Updates! Cisco Jabber & Microsoft Skype for Business Enhancements for Wyse ThinOS

chrismessier Blog, Citrix, Microsoft, VMware Horizon, Wyse ThinOS , , , ,

Cisco Jabber & Microsoft Skype for Business, and other unified communications solutions, are some of the solutions often requested in virtual desktop deployments. Citrix & VMware have both made some key advancements on the server side, i.e. Citrix HDX RealTime Optimization Pack (RTME) & VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business.

Most of the client side solutions to ‘offload’ some of this processing has been focused on using Windows, or Windows Embedded, based endpoints. The request of many customers is to simplify & secure the endpoint as much as possible, which can lead to using a non-Windows based endpoint and running Windows 10/7 in the data center.

Dell Wyse just released Wyse ThinOS 8.6 which includes support for Cisco Jabber Softphone for VDI for Citrix and Skype for Business on VMware Horizon.

You can see more on these announcements here and some technical details in the Wyse ThinOS 8.6 release notes here.

Enjoy!
