Dell 5000 Series Thin Client - ThinOS
High-Performance Virtual Desktop

Overview:

The Wyse 5000 series thin client is a highly efficient and powerful endpoint platform for Citrix, Microsoft, VMware, and Wyse vWorkspace virtual desktop environments. It is available as a zero client, a diskless cloud desktop or a thin client with Windows Embedded Standard, Wyse-enhanced enterprise Linux, or virus-immune Wyse ThinOS. With its extremely compact size and high performance, it’s a versatile virtual desktop endpoint or cloud desktop when used with Wyse WSM software.

High-performance multimedia

Need to deploy a dependable platform to display, manipulate and work with high-definition multimedia, voice and video in a virtualized environment? With a choice of powerful, energy-saving dual or quad core AMD G Series APUs in a compact chassis with dual-HD monitor support, the 5000 series thin client delivers stunning performance and display capabilities across 2D, 3D and HD video applications. As such, it supports a broad and diverse range of user, application and operating requirements.

Highly scalable, easy to operate and manage

IT administrators won’t need to visit or touch cloud clients to manage them. The 5000 series thin client can be managed remotely with Wyse Device Manager (WDM). WDM lowers the total cost of ownership for large deployments and offers remote enterprise-wide management that scales as you grow from just a few to tens of thousands of cloud clients.

Environmentally conscious computing without compromise

When it comes to energy efficiency, the 5000 series outperforms other, more power-hungry desktop alternatives. Its silent diskless and fanless design helps reduce power usage to just a fraction of that used in traditional desktops. Dell is committed to helping you implement a computing strategy with a lower environmental impact — one that offers an efficient and productive computing experience by significantly reducing energy usage and heat generation.

Features:

Designed to allow your users to flourish within ever changing and demanding desktop environments, the new Dell Wyse D class offers you new dimensions in computing performance, high definition multimedia and operational flexibility in a compact affordable form.

The D class' compact frame hosts an array of display, peripheral and network connectivity plus further flexible networking, storage and I/O options; everything in fact to offer you the ideal cloud client for Citrix, Microsoft and VMware VDI environments.

Dell Wyse Device Manager supports the D class with scalable enterprise-wide management. From fast 'day one' out-of-the-box deployment, to patching and updates and on to granular desktop device management – all with secure end-to-end encrypted communications.

When it comes to energy efficiency the D class is designed to out-perform other more power hungry desktop alternatives, including other thin clients in its class. Its silent, disk and fan-less design contributes considerably to lowering an organization's carbon footprint through power usage and emissions.

Presenting high performance on your desktop

Need to deploy a dependable platform to display, manipulate and work with high definition multimedia, voice and video in a virtualized environment? The D class' hardware acceleration engine and dual monitor support offers your users outstanding performance and display capabilities across 2D, 3D and HD video applications.

High performance processor family.
Driving the D class' high speed and performance are two powerful, energy saving processors that offer you a strong all around platform on which to support an increasingly diverse range of user, application and operating requirements: the AMD G-Series dual core T48E 1.4 GHz processor and quad core AMD G-Series SOC 1.5GHz.

Connectivity

Dell Wyse D50D, D90DW, D90D7 and D90Q7 thin clients and D00D cloud PC.

Mounting options

The Dell Wyse D class can be placed vertically on desktops or mounted to walls.

Energy Conscientious

That's Dell Wyse EarthSmart computing.
With Dell Wyse D class and through our EarthSmart Computing initiative we are committed to helping organizations implement an energy efficient computing strategy – one that offers a more efficient and productive computing experience for your users with a positive effect on energy wastage, heat and carbon emissions.

Energy efficient.
D class cloud clients use 9 watts of power in typical use*. In comparison, a typical PC could use between 70 and 150 watts. Even in sleep mode D class units draw just 2 watts while being fully remotely managed. Then, when you include additional power requirements in the data center, a cloud computing deployment can offer significant power savings. Dell Wyse has implemented an ISO 14001-based environmental management system and WEEE recycling processes, and all Dell Wyse products meet stringent ROHS requirements.

* Average power usage with device connected to 1 keyboard with 1 PS/2 mouse and 1 monitor: Under 9 watts

User experience optimization - Dell Wyse TCX Suite

Dell Wyse TCX delivers an optimal user experience in one software suite.

The TCX suite enriches the user experience by removing the limitations previously associated with thin clients. It enhances, not replaces, key protocols like ICA/HDX and RDP by adding key features to help make each more valuable.

Multi-display
Ensures application windows and dialog boxes are multi-monitor aware when using more than one monitor.

USB Virtualization
Enables plug and play peripheral support for virtual desktop environments.

• Redirect and use local USB devices in virtual desktops.
• Deploy virtual desktops to knowledge workers with special device access needs.
• Enable a broad set of USB peripherals including webcams and headsets.

Multimedia acceleration
Streamlines the delivery of video and audio content to the local client for a rich user experience within a thin client computing architecture.

• Accelerates Mpeg1, Mpeg2, WMV, Mpeg4 Part 2, AC3, AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA media types.
• Collaborative Processing Architecture enhances server scalability, and network utilization by off-loading multimedia rendering to the client.

Flash redirection
Flash redirection helps thin client users to experience excellent Flash video performance. Flash redirection allows web-based Flash video content to be fetched directly by the Dell Wyse thin client from the source where it is played locally. Users get outstanding Flash video performance while the VDI host system runs more efficiently.

Bi-directional sound
Enables bi-directional audio in virtual desktop environments, enabling solutions such as VOIP, digital dictation or voice recognition to be deployed.

Virtualization software - Dell Wyse Virtual Desktop Accelerator

Removing the barriers of network latency.

Dell Wyse Virtual Desktop Accelerator (VDA) enables virtualized desktop and thin computing environments to be deployed to areas where network latency has, to date, presented operational barriers. Now, with VDA, more users can receive the full benefits of Dell cloud client computing – with outstanding PC experience over virtualized desktops.

VDA is a software-only solution for Dell Wyse thin clients and supported PCs that delivers exceptional user experience for the allocated network bandwidth by neutralizing the effects of network latency and packet loss. Making 'thin' suitable for more remote-site, branch, or field-based users.

VDA works with instead of replacing existing RDP and ICA protocols, and is designed to offer significant acceleration over certain capacity-constrained WAN links.
