Having the right endpoint strategy is crucial to maximize the benefits of a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) implementation, reducing complexity for IT teams and delivering the best experience to end users. Dell thin clients with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise offer a premium VDI experience, enhancing virtual workspaces with robust security, operational excellence and improved productivity. Whether end users share the same device during the day or access mission-critical records from multiple devices, Dell thin client solutions ensure a consistent and secure experience for workers in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, retail or government services.
Robust Security and Compliance
Dell thin clients with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise offer enhanced protection against modern security threats and minimize the time spent managing device remediation. Features like Unified Write Filter maintain system stability by preventing unauthorized changes that could disrupt the system, while Dell’s added-value software secures the desktop experience.
Dell thin clients come with built-in security features such as a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Windows 10 IoT Enterprise further enhances VDI-based security with features like BitLocker, Secure Boot and Windows Defender, ensuring protection against malware, viruses and unauthorized access.
For a shared device or single-purpose kiosk use cases, IT administrators can easily create a controlled user experience that limits distractions and potential tampering points, focusing the experience on the device’s dedicated purpose.
Streamlined IT Management
Robust, enterprise-class management options make managing a distributed fleet of devices more accessible. Dell’s Wyse Management Suite (WMS) enables centralized configuration and management of Dell thin clients from a private cloud, the Dell-managed public cloud or a combination of both. Alternatively, support from Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) allows for managing a mixed environment of Windows PCs and thin clients from a single console, simplifying administrative tasks.
Dell added-value applications are designed specifically for Dell thin clients to deliver reliability and security optimizations. Wyse Management Suite provides granular control, including centralized BIOS management, enabling remote recovery of corrupted units to quickly bring devices back online without physical intervention. Windows updates are easy to deploy with Unified Write Filter (UWF) servicing mode which is managed in WMS using the new configuration user interface. Systems deployment, embedded application management and write filter control can be performed intuitively with the Dell Application Control Center.
Our goal is to simplify IT operations, allowing organizations to focus on innovation. We offer modular, streamlined deployment of partner components and Dell applications with detailed documentation that includes best practices and troubleshooting tips to ensure optimized performance, reliability, and efficiency. These quarterly releases are available on our cloud repository to simplify and speed up updates with silent installation.
