HDX SoC

SoC?  


Short for "System-on-Chip", is a "new" initiative which should drive the VDI implementations to a larger scale.

The next gen HDX devices where presented at this years Synergy, but where also mentioned last year at Barcelona - why did it take so long? Yes, i'm a very impatient person when it comes to new technology - I want hand's on now!

SoC annoncement from Citrix

The price tag for VDI is one of the foremost reasons why companies don't dive into Desktop virtualization..

Mark Templeton thinks that if we can drive the price down on the end point, the overall cost of implementing VDI would be lower and he is right - but only to a certain degree. Of course, we should not neglect the cost of managing end points but.... what about storage, licenses etc.? Why don't Citrix lower there price tag on XenDesktop?

As people get more mobile, use more devices and have higher demands to the apps, deploying a thin client solution can and will only fit within some part of the company. Do people only use one device today to get to there apps and be productive? I think not!

So it get's complicated and expensive - and again customers hesitate on VDI.

DVS Simplified

One thing Dell has done, is making a solution that simplifies implementing VDI - Dell DVS Simplified


Read more about it here: DVS Simplified

It has been made available since May 3 - Check it out, it is really that simple. And if you combine it with a (Soon to become a Dell company) Wyse SoC client, the Xenith 2 - you will not find it cheaper and more simple anywhere. Read the press release here: Wyse Xenith 2 press release

SoC is exiting and I can't wait to get my hand's on a device to see it's performance - stay tuned here for an review!

  1. If you need to lose fat, and have also been explained to which you are required a new "lifestyle change", that's very similar to a new lifestyle word within Diet regime Prison. Exactly why may a number of people eat whatever they really want, and the like add pounds, apparently with their, just by thinking about that?Kyani

  2. Most of the people have your misconception The idea tree maintenance can be quite similar effortless gardening work. However, ones fact is usually It tree upkeep jobs include many technical aspects, properly beyond your own reach of an common man.Træfældning
