The Dell Appliance for Wyse – Citrix is one of the easiest ways for smaller organizations to purchase, deploy, scale and manage Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, formerly XenDesktop today. It allows organizations to start small with as few as 50 users and expand easily to as many as 5,000 users. It is also an ideal platform for larger organizations to conduct a Citrix-based VDI proof-of-concept (PoC) or pilot environment prior to embarking on a larger-scale deployment. The VDI appliance provides organizations with a ‘quick start tool’ to enable people with basic IT admin and end-user support skills to rapidly configure the appliance and deploy desktops in a Citrix environment in as little as two hours, while also supporting scaling of the entire installation. With this refreshed solution, businesses and schools can now install an infrastructure that starts small and easily scales with lower complexity, while still being managed by existing IT generalist staff.
