Wyse Launches XenDesktop Thin Client Hardware
Fresh on the heals of my post yesterday, I read this morning that Wyse has launched a new line of hardware targeted at hosting remote XenDesktop deployments. This is a great, inexpensive solution for enterprise deployments where quantity and supportability are paramount, such as call centers, hospitals, travel, etc. I like this model a lot, and can’t wait to see a full deployment of these devices hosting both XenDesktop streams as well as XenServer apps. Very cool.
I’m normally not a reminiscing kind of guy (we’ve all been places and done things), but this one unexpectedly took me back. My first x86 machine was a Wyse 8088 I used to learn DOS, connect to BBSs over a 300 baud Smartmodem, and play this awesome construction game that was a blatant rip-off of Donkey Kong. Ah, those were innocent, good times. Ok, that’s out of my system (no pun intended), so no more living in the past, I promise.
