Dell Wyse D Class Cloud Client Family Empowers Customers with Enhanced Enterprise Grade Features

Dell Wyse announced the release of its new Dell Wyse D class mid-range cloud client family, comprised of thin clients and cloud PCs, which blends superb system performance, excellent multimedia capabilities and energy efficiency in a compact desktop device.  The new offerings provide a comprehensive solution that suits the needs of demanding users, while providing systems administrators with ultimate control over their application environments. The Dell Wyse D class reflects the needs of changing virtual desktop environments and delivers efficient high performance and versatility.  It also serves as an ideal mid-range desktop client within Dell’s wide-ranging end-to-end Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) lineup consisting of servers, storage, networking, and services that extend from the datacenter to the end user.

Compact and efficient yet very powerful, the new D class is especially proficient in delivering high-quality graphics, as evidenced by the standard Passmark Performance Test 7.0 benchmark suite. These standard desktop performance tests reveal that the D class provides up to a 43% higher 2D graphics performance score over the comparable HP t510 mid-range thin client, and a up to a 76% higher score for 3D graphics performance.

The new D class cloud client family combines features that provide users with uncompromised access to line-of-business information from virtualized environments from Citrix, Dell, Microsoft, and VMware. Organizations can tailor and personalize application profiles as they wish, while users benefit from a wide array of I/O interface options for enhanced multimedia support to get the most from audio, video and graphics intensive content.  The D class is based on the same high performance technology as Dell Wyse’s state-of-the-art Z class cloud client family.

Its compact 170 (H) x 185 (D) x 40 (W) mm dimensions signal yet another example of Dell Wyse’s position as an industry leader in the design of small yet powerful platforms. The streamlined design means that Dell Wyse cloud clients can be used in a wider variety of scenarios.

Organizations often choose virtualized desktops to improve security and energy efficiency while easing management and maintenance burdens on IT staffs. While providing greater flexibility to the end-user, the Dell Wyse D class cloud clients provide mid-market and large organizations flexible networking, peripheral connectivity, OS and storage options, yet are easy for IT teams to manage. Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 a/b/g/n single or dual band wireless and Bluetooth connectivity suit virtually all local access scenarios.
