Zero clients
A better endpoint for office workers
  |
Thin client endpoints lower costs and increase data security compared to traditional desktops because they don’t require fans, disk drives and multi-core CPUs. Creating a zero client by removing the operating system software from the thin client provides further cost and security benefits, and instant-on functionality that improves the user experience.
Introducing Wyse Xenith
The first Citrix Ready zero client, Wyse Xenith—with integrated Citrix Receiver functionality—offers an unparalleled desktop virtualization experience for office-based workers, while significantly reducing the cost of ownership. This zero client fundamentally changes the economics of endpoint ownership by reducing device management and security costs, and delivering a no compromise user experience. This lowers the barriers for mainstream adoption of desktop virtualization. Wyse Xenith is a single-purpose device that has no operating system, requires no local configuration or management, has no attack surface for malware, and keeps up with advances in Citrix HDX by updating its Citrix Receiver for Wyse Xenith engine automatically.
The best endpoint for Office workers using Citrix XenDesktop
Wyse Xenith is the only endpoint device to offer these benefits for XenDesktop:
- No compromise user experience – Citrix HDX built-in, no software to install on server
- Instant-on – Zero to working in under 10 seconds
- Plug-n-display – Works out of the box, auto-discovers preferred settings and Citrix server
- Dynamic – Auto-updates with new protocol advances
- Flexible – Works on LANs, WANs and Wi-Fi
- Scalable – Uses fewer server and network resources
- Secure – Immune to viruses and malware
- Green – Uses under 7 watts of power in full operation, saves $70 to $150 a year in energy per seat when replacing a 200 watt traditional desktop.
What makes it the next-generation zero client
Unique among endpoints, Wyse Xenith is a next-generation zero client, delivering advances in performance, simplicity and longevity unattainable by first generation zero clients:
SimplicityWyse Xenith delivers plug and display operation, automatically discovers its Citrix environment and desired configuration, and automatically updates its functionality, configuration, protocol feature set and network security model in seconds. It’s virtually malware immune, eliminating costs for traditional endpoint management and security. It needs no additional server software. | PerformanceWyse Xenith is stateless, delivering an instant-on, no compromise HDX experience, with rich media redirection that reduces the load on servers and networks for many content types. It has Citrix Receiver built-in, multi-display support, and supports 32 or 64-bit hosts and USB 2.0, including webcams. | LongevityUnlike other products, Wyse Xenith embraces the latest HDX functionality and network security advances as they are released, works over LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi connections, and accepts new protocol and network security advances, extending its productive life to eight years or more. |
