On 3th of April Dell has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Wyse Technology in order to extend its desktop virtualization offerings.
Dell’s goal is to gain a strong position in VDI thin client market and this operation may lead to great changes in an area where HP has already done its move.
“Desktop virtualization can help organizations streamline IT management, improve productivity and security, and increase cost efficiency for discrete workloads or usage scenarios. The Wyse Technology desktop virtualization capability complements Dell’s strongest-ever device and computing solutions portfolio, and strengthens our position in offering customers among the broadest set of computing choices from the edge to the core to the cloud.”
Jeff Clarke, president, End User Computing Solutions
Dell Inc.
Wyse Technology product portfolio includes thin clients, zero clients and software for mobile cloud connectivity like PocketCloud.
