Working patterns are changing for the long term. While the new, post-pandemic norm of hybrid work may look different from organization to organization, all IT leaders are focused on a common goal: ensuring their workforce can be productive and their corporate assets secure, regardless of whether employees are in-office or remote.
Luckily the technology to support this fundamental shift is proven and readily available. Desktop virtualization solutions in combination with thin clients - endpoint computing devices that deliver the remote desktop to the user – streamline IT management of the hybrid work environment and improve security. Dell has a wide selection of secure, reliable, and cost-effective Wyse thin clients. Available with these thin clients is Dell’s new ThinOS 9.1, with built-in support for Teradici PCoIP® technology. Dell ThinOS 9.1 with PCoIP is available on Dell Wyse 3040 and 5070 Thin Clients, the 5470 Mobile Thin Client and the 5470 All-In-One Thin Client.
“In the 20 years since we rolled out the original ThinOS, we’ve continued to innovate to deliver faster time-to-value in virtual workspaces. ThinOS is now even easier to deploy with built-in support for PCoIP, delivering a secure and highly responsive computing experience on Dell thin clients powered by ThinOS 9.1.”
- Fred Waibel, Product Manager, Modern Computing Solutions Group, Dell Technologies
Dell and Teradici have a long-standing collaboration to support customers with powerful and flexible PCoIP client solutions. Thin clients enabled with PCoIP client software are deployment-ready for popular PCoIP host infrastructures, including VMware Horizon, Amazon WorkSpaces and Teradici CAS. Users can connect to virtual desktops or workstations hosted on AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or a wide range of on-premises environments--all with the performance and security of the PCoIP protocol.
Security and Simplified User Experience with Dell ThinOS and PCoIP
Dell ThinOS continues to make security a top priority, and claims the “world’s most secure thin client operating system*” with a closed architecture, unpublished APIs, encrypted data and files exclusively packaged by Dell. Additional security expansions include secure boot, device specific flash encryption and FIPS 140-2 compliance.Dell Thin Clients are now easier to deploy and manage with a new single multilingual PCoIP image (PCoIP is available with all new devices shipping with ThinOS 9.1 or devices upgraded from ThinOS 8.6 with PCoIP image.) The new modern desktop mode provides a simplified user experience for easy virtual workspace session management and device configuration.
