ISV-Certified Dell Precision Appliance For Wyse Targets Virtual Workstation Market

Dell is targeting a wide range of businesses with its new Precision Appliance for Wyse, which is designed to handle heavy graphics workloads. The virtual desktop offering is designed to support just about any kind of endpoint businesses need to use, including thin clients and laptops. Dell is touting the appliance at the first ISV certified virtual workstation appliance in the industry.

“How people work today is rapidly changing,” said Dell executive director Andy Rhodes in a statement. “Our customers are looking at ways to be more mobile and collaborative without sacrificing performance or user experience. The Dell Precision Appliance for Wyse combines our expertise in both high performance workstation capabilities and virtual desktop infrastructure to provide organizations that use the most demanding, graphics-rich applications with a compelling solution for flexible work environments."

The Precision Appliance for Wyse is designed for workstation-level graphics workloads and includes a Dell Precision Rack R7910 workstation with NVIDIA Quadro and GRID GPU technology, as well as VMware virtualization software and Teradici PCoIP remote workstation technology. Up to three users can access the appliance in dedicated GPU mode, but shared GPU mode bumps user support to as many as eight. Unlike the more complex Wyse Datacenter for Virtual Workstations, the Dell Precision Appliance for Wyse is targeted at businesses that are looking for little to no IT involvement when deploying.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine.  A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
