As the face of technology changes rapidly, Microsolve endeavours to make sure that our clients are always well ahead of the curve when it comes to new products, devices and services that will make your workplaces run smoother, faster and more efficient. This is why its exciting to announce that the latest Zero Client Technology from Wyse.

Wyse Xenith™ will make it easier for our clients to deploy a workstation that goes from the box to working in applications in only a few minutes. All while maintaining a high definition quality of graphic performance, protection from viruses and malware without the need to end user anti-virus programs and the ease and simplicity that come with running business off a Wyse and Citrix cloud environment.

The new Wyse Xenith™ zero client with Citrix HDX takes the concept of thin clients to an entirely new level.  Its groundbreaking design requires no local configuration or management, has virtually no attack surface for malware, auto-discovers XenDesktop right out of the box, and launches a full Windows desktop in seconds.  For the first time, IT decision-makers will not have to make tradeoffs in endpoint simplicity, security and end user performance.

"Desktop virtualisation gives customers new ways of empowering workers that are orders of magnitude simpler, more flexible and more secure than traditionally managed  desktops," said Mark Templeton, CEO of Citrix.  "When it comes to delivering virtual desktops to office workers, the combination of Citrix XenDesktop and the new Wyse Xenith™ zero client deliver a level of performance and value that we believe is going to blow a lot of people away."

"Desktop virtualisation and cloud computing will render the old PC hardware model obsolete," according to Tarkan Maner, CEO at Wyse.  "With the introduction of the Wyse Xenith™ zero client, the first adaptable, no-compromise, Citrix HDX-fluent zero client, we've realised a vision to deliver the benefits of high-performance virtual computing without the limitations associated with PC computing."

Customers who have seen previews of the new Wyse Xenith™ in advance of its debut have had high praise for the new solution.

"Our security concerns have been addressed as the Wyse Xenith™ is designed to be virus immune.  My end users can plug in their peripherals and watch rich Flash videos with amazing performance.  Best of all is that Wyse Xenith™ is completely plug-and-play," according to Adrienne DiPrima, Manager, Strategic Technologies Technical Support at Miami-Dade County.  "All they have to do is plug in the cables, and it automatically finds and attaches to my XenDesktop environment.  Wyse's Xenith™ has resolved our security and performance issues to a degree I never thought possible."

"Every IT person and CIO has security on the top of their list of concerns while every end user cares most about functionality and a fantastic user experience," added Albert Alvarez, Desktop Virtualisation Technical Lead at Miami-Dade County and an early user of Wyse Xenith™.  "With the release of Wyse Xenith™, Wyse has answered the concerns of end-users, IT support staff and the CIO with a single device."

"Customers moving to desktop virtualisation solutions such as Citrix XenDesktop have started to recognise the benefits of client devices with no embedded operating system," according to Bob O'Donnell, Program VP, Clients and Displays at IDC.  "These types of products enable nearly instant boot times and significantly ease the process of bringing virtual clients into the enterprise."

"Every day barriers to desktop virtualisation adoption decrease," according to Adam Bari, Managing Director at IPM, and member of the M7 Global Partner network.  "Security and performance are by far the top concerns of our customers but Wyse has eliminated those issues in one fell swoop with the introduction of Wyse Xenith™."

Wyse Xenith™ zero client benefits:

• Zero configuration. Because there is no operating system, Wyse Xenith™ does not need to be configured prior to use or updated with the latest operating system patches.
  
  
• Zero delays. Because there is no operating system, boot time is instantaneous so users are never waiting for access to their desktop.
  
  
• Zero viruses. Malware is designed to attack operating systems and applications. Since Wyse Xenith™ has no operating system, the attack surface for malware is virtually eliminated.
  
  
• Zero compromises in user experience. Wyse Xenith™ has native support for Citrix HDX. This means that users will receive a high definition user experience each time they access their virtual desktop.
  
  
• Simple Plug-n-Display with Citrix HDX. Out-of-the-box, Wyse Xenith™ will work with XenDesktop, delivering an HDX experience. This is all done natively, with no configuration necessary via the new engine technology in Wyse Xenith™.

The Wyse Xenith™ is the first zero client to be certified as Citrix Ready. For customers standardising on Citrix XenDesktop, this breakthrough client solution raises the bar in user experience for office workers, including voice, data, video and Flash, while reducing TCO by eliminating management tasks, eliminating security risks and slashing energy costs.  A unique future-proof feature of Wyse Xenith™ is its ability to accept new Citrix HDX features as they are released by Citrix and Wyse.
