Dell has announced a new, redesigned mobile thin client portfolio for those who need to be on the move, but also require critical intellectual property (IP) and data to be protected – even against zero-day, advanced persistent threats. Ideal for a range of industries including finance, healthcare, government, manufacturing, and energy and exploration industries, the new thin clients enable organizations to empower their mobile workforce to securely access cloud applications and data remotely, while ensuring the security, manageability and centralized control provided by a virtual desktop environment. The Dell Latitude E7270 and Latitude 3460 mobile thin clients integrate the expert manageability, performance and security of Wyse thin clients, based on 20 years of innovation in VDI, with the enterprise-class heritage of Dell’s award-winning Latitude portfolio to deliver a superior user experience.
Steve Lalla, Vice-President, Commercial Client Software and Solutions, Dell Inc., said, “At Dell, we have the ability to take our years of expertise as the leaders in VDI, and layer in the design and heritage of our Latitude PCs that are used by millions of people every day, to deliver mobile thin clients that combine the best of both worlds for the benefit of our customers. When you add our services, security and relationships with leading broker providers, we provide the end-to-end value that our customers are looking for from a technology partner today.”
The two new mobile thin clients leverage the thoughtful design and user experience of the Latitude portfolio with a durable, enterprise-class chassis designed to meet the demands of today’s mobile worker. Based on Windows Embedded Standard 7 64-bit for a familiar local Windows experience, the devices power the most demanding use cases from all-day computing to graphics-intensive applications. They are built with a robust feature set including Intel dual core processors with integrated graphics, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, and an extended battery life to enable full productivity in a variety of settings throughout the day. Both mobile thin clients offer a wide range of connectivity options and ports, including USB 3.0, HDMI, gigabit Ethernet, and WLAN and Bluetooth options.
The Dell Latitude E7270 mobile thin client is designed for those who require superior computing power and ultimate portability with the centralized control and security inherent to thin clients. To best meet the exacting needs of power users, the E7270 is the most powerful mobile thin client available today, starting at only 2.77 pounds with a 4-cell battery and with an Intel 6th-Generation Core i5 processor. Users will enjoy all-day productivity with a 12.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) anti-glare display.
The Latitude 3460 mobile thin client has been designed to address a broad range of typical use cases by giving employees an enterprise-class mobile experience, with the utmost security and manageability benefits of a virtual desktop environment. It offers high performance with an Intel Celeron 3215U processor and a 14-inch HD (1366 x 768) anti-glare display.
The Latitude E7270 and Latitude 3460 mobile thin clients support all VDI protocols, and can connect to all of the major brokers including Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware Horizon based on the organization’s VDI strategy and needs. The mobile thin clients are easy to deploy and manage with flexible configuration and management via Wyse Device Manager to deliver over-the-air configuration and policy management, or via Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. IT managers can easily scale administration from just a few to tens of thousands of mobile thin clients as their business grows.
The Latitude E7270 and the Latitude 3460 mobile thin clients will be available in India and select countries around the world starting October 4, 2016.
