Mobility and user collaboration are key enablers of productivity for organizations today. Physical workstations while powerful limit the ability of users to work anytime, anywhere and collaborate on a common data set. In this session, learn how Dell enables organizations to virtualize their workstation environment without compromising on a rich user experience or dealing with increased complexity. We’ll share how the Precision Appliance for Wyse and Wyse Datacenter for Virtual Workstations ISV-certified solutions enable organizations to rapidly and efficiently deploy a virtual workstation environment that provides greater user mobility and improved workforce collaboration while improving data security and workspace management.

3. IT challenges in today’s collaborative team environments
Valuable IP resides on every tower or mobile workstation
Each workstation and workspace needs to be individually managed
Scaling up or scaling down is inefficient and burdensome
Limited mobility and poor workflow as data needs to be shipped back & forth
4. The benefits of centralizing workstation resources
Valuable IP resides in the data center and not
at the endpoints
User workspaces can be managed centrally
freeing up valuable IT resources
New users can be added or removed easily,
and infrastructure resources can be used
more efficiently
Mobility is enhanced since applications and
data are centralized and can be accessed via a
variety of endpoints
