Citrix teams with Dell
Citrix has teamed with Dell to deliver a new VDI appliance that accelerates desktop virtualization deployments for the mass market. Leveraging the all-in-one Citrix VDI-in-a-Box software, Dell and Citrix have created a simple integrated hardware VDI appliance that is pre-certified to support defined numbers of desktops. Based on VDI-in-a-Box grid architecture running on Dell servers, the Dell DVS Simplified VDI appliance can be easily installed to create and rapidly scale a virtual desktop deployment in response to business needs.
Krishna Subramanian, Vice President, Marketing & Business Development, SMB Solutions, Citrix, said, "We are seeing tremendous customer and partner momentum with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box as SMBs and departments within enterprises seek to capitalize on the benefits of delivering IT services from the cloud by virtualizing desktops. Our relationship with Dell and the new integrated VDI appliance is aimed at making the transition to the cloud a no-brainer for our mutual customers, ultimately breaking down the barriers to VDI adoption for this very important customer segment through a repeatable, simple, affordable and predictable hardware VDI solution."
Steve Lalla, VP and GM, Dell's Mobility Products and Solutions, said, "Our customers look to Dell as a trusted companion to deploy desktop virtualization solutions that help them promote workforce mobility, business continuity and streamlined IT management. Our new DVS Simplified solution with Citrix VDI-in-a-Box addresses these issues so companies can focus on their core business objectives. Dell's DVS Simplified dramatically reduces VDI deployment complexity, with nothing to architect, configure or install - simply power it on and go. What's more, the solution enables businesses of all sizes to realize the benefits of central desktop management that were previously reserved only for the largest enterprises."
