The AirWatch Acquisition by VMware

The recent acquisition of AirWatch by VMware is not surprising in light of the industry’s growing mobile work force. As more enterprises invest in mobile devices and development of new software applications for their workforce, their respective IT organizations must have a way to secure and manage their employee’s mobile devices.


Traditionally, it’s been the device manufacturers that have provided the software tools to manage hardware devices. But PC and thin client manufacturers never really focused on mobile devices. And maybe it’s good for the industry that they didn’t. Because they probably would have limited their software solution to only their hardware, just as they’ve done with thin clients. Why should a company be locked in to a single hardware manufacturer’s products simply because of a software management tool?


ViewSonic has always supported open systems, and was first to implement the Android™ OS in thin clients.


Android 2.2 first introduced support for enterprise applications by offering the Android Device Administration API. The Device Administration API provides device administration features at the system level. These APIs allow developers to create security-aware applications that are useful in enterprise settings, in which IT professionals require rich control over employee devices.


It’s these APIs that have allowed companies such as AirWatch, Good Technology, Zenprise, and others to develop mobile device management (MDM) solutions. But why can’t an IT organization use the same software tools used to manage 1,000s of mobile devices to also manage their desktop devices?


This was the objective behind the Citrix and ViewSonic partnership to integrate Citrix® Worx Home™ within ViewSonic’s new smart display, or next generation thin client. Our new smart displays provide an IT organization the level of security and manageability from Citrix that they have come to trust over the years.


It’s expected that Google will continue to expand the Device Administration API in future releases of the Android operating system. And that desktop virtualization companies will extend their MDM solutions beyond mobile devices and on to the desktop.


Open standards and cross platform solutions have proven in the past to benefit both PC industry suppliers and end-users. There’s no reason why it can’t do the same for the display virtualization industry and its end-users.

Citrix Announces Launch of XenApp 7.5 and XenDesktop 7.5


Citrix today announced the launch of XenApp 7.5 and XenDesktop 7.5, two new solutions that allow businesses to more easily leverage the elasticity of hybrid clouds. As a committed partner to Citrix, ViewSonic provides both traditional thin clients and innovative smart display clients that are fully certified to support both XenApp and XenDesktop.



XenApp dramatically reduces the costs and complexity of virtualizing Windows apps and delivering them to users on any mobile, desktop or thin client device.



XenDesktop brings hybrid cloud provisioning to enterprise desktop virtualization deployments, allowing customers to use Amazon Web Services (AWS) or any Citrix CloudPlatform™ by Apache CloudStack® cloud to flex, grow or transform their virtual desktop infrastructure. Unlike competing solutions, XenDesktop supports an “any cloud” strategy that does not lock customers into a proprietary cloud, but allows them to leverage any of the large public clouds on the market.



Together, XenApp and XenDesktop provide the only unified architecture for apps and desktop delivery, increasing IT flexibility and saving infrastructure and costs.



ViewSonic delivers traditional thin clients that are certified to support both XenApp and XenDesktop. The ViewSonic SC-T35 and SC-T45 thin clients are the perfect choice for Citrix VDI implementations. ViewSonic’s thin clients are ideal end point solutions for providing desktop virtualization in conjunction with existing infrastructure—they can be mounted to any VESA-ready monitor. In addition, the SC-T35 and SC-T45 support professional graphics applications and deliver a smoother virtual desktop, with excellent 2D/3D graphics rendering capabilities. The SC-T35 and SC-T45 are Citrix-optimized power houses in an ultra-compact 0.9lb form factor. When deployed for Citrix desktop virtualization, these thin clients deliver unparalleled power and efficiency.



In partnership with Citrix, ViewSonic also delivers innovative smart display clients that are fully compatible with XenApp and XenDesktop. Integrated with Citrix® Worx Home and leveraging Citrix XenMobile, the ViewSonic SD-A225 and SD-A245 smart display clients allow an IT organization the ability to use a single tool to fully provision and manage both their mobile and desktop devices in addition to allowing users to access enterprise-ready apps.

What to Look for in a Hospitality TV


While the televisions in hotel rooms, restaurants, and sports bars appear similar to traditional home televisions, a commercial-grade TV has much more functionality. Televisions utilized in hospitality environments require features that not only need to meet the needs of those that will ultimately watch and enjoy them, but they also need to meet the needs of the venue that installs and maintains them. To that end, hospitality venues will benefit from an entertainment solution that provides the following:



  • Durability: With up to 15 hours of continuous usage per day, as well as LED backlights with lifespans of over 30,000 hours, a commercial-grade display can withstand repeated, long-term use, thus lowering the total cost of ownership.

  • Built-in HDTV tuner: Commercial-grade TVs are built with an ATSC/NTSC HDTV tuner and Full HD 1080p resolution to deliver high-definition TV programming for an enhanced guest experience. The built-in tuner offers viewers more content choices by delivering a wider range of HDTV channels, including channels for business, sports, education, movies, etc.

  • Multi-device control: Televisions with an RS232 port and IR pass-through offer local control for set-top boxes and other connected devices directly with the TV’s remote control, rather than requiring multiple controls for each device.

  • Programmable hospitality settings: With programmable settings, multiple televisions can be easily and simultaneously setup to have the same customized features such as channel default, parental controls, audio levels, etc.

  • USB playback and cloning features: Not only can photos and music be uploaded to the television via a USB drive, but the same photos and music can be conveniently duplicated across multiple televisions via the primary television.

  • Versatile connectivity: With a wide selection of inputs, such as HDMI, USB and VGA, as well as composite and component inputs, a variety of digital equipment can be plugged into the TV and provide more flexible installation options.

  • With these necessary hospitality-specific features, it’s easy to see why a restaurant manager or hotel IT manager can’t simply go to a big-box electronics shop and purchase the televisions needed for their specific needs.


    With over 25 years as an award-winning display technology leader, ViewSonic® delivers the latest in innovative hospitality TV technology to meet the needs of any hospitality environment. Designed with a variety of customizable hospitality settings for multi-screen environments, our full line of commercial-grade TVs delivers a premium, easy-to-manage entertainment solution for hotels, cruise ships, restaurants, bars, and other hospitality venues.

The devices are optimized for all of the major remote networking protocols, including Microsoft® RDP with RemoteFX™, Citrix® ICA/HDX, and PCoIP® for VMware. The built-in 22” or 24” LED screen allows typical power consumption below 26 or 30 Watts, respectively, for a smaller ECO footprint. The SD-T225 and SD-T245 also provide feature-rich connectivity options, with four side-mounted USB ports for easy peripheral connection, and a DVI output for driving a dual monitor desktop.

Virtualizing Desktops for Higher Education: A ViewSonic Case Study

 

sc-z55_desktop_hiresColleges and universities today face several challenges supporting students, faculty, and staff with current technology. For example, the increasing demand for connecting a wider variety of BYOD devices places strain on understaffed IT resources. In addition, growing student bodies necessitate the deployment of more desktops, yet schools have limited amounts of IT funds. Many campuses also have needs for increased security, as well as a lower energy footprint.

How then, can education institutions meet these challenges while ensuring their campuses have the IT support needed to be productive and successful? In the case of Florida Atlantic University, they recently turned to a virtualized desktop infrastructure by outfitting computer labs and faculty offices with ViewSonic® SC-Z55 zero clients. Engineered to support VMware Horizon View, the SC-Z55 was fully compatible with FAU’s existing IT infrastructure, and was a perfect fit for both the university’s budget and green policies. Equipped with ViewSonic’s SC-Z55 zero clients, FAU began to immediately reap the many benefits of a VDI solution including the following:

  • New computer labs were up and running within days rather than weeks, and single workstations were repurposed or upgraded in only hours.

  • Centralized security, maintenance and management of computing resources save time and money for greatly reduced TCO.

  • Computer labs are cooler and quieter with lower electricity cost, and the mountable design of the SC-Z55 frees up valuable desk space.


To learn how FAU utilized ViewSonic’s SC-Z55 zero clients to virtualize desktops, read the full case study here.
