PRESS RELEASE
Company introduces displays for the next generation of corporate desktops.
London, UK - March 26th, 2014 - ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solution products, today unveiled its new range of Zero Clients, designed to enhance the user experience for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) users. ViewSonic's new integrated PCoIP Zero Clients fortify the company's already strong range of desktop monitors.
"The need for smarter cloud connectivity has become vitally important with the changing computing landscape consumers and businesses face. ViewSonic has been leading the desktop transformation for over 25 years, and we're continuing that forward momentum with the launch of our new PCoIP Integrated Zero Client displays and standalone Zero Clients," said Stuart Frisby, Product Manager for ViewSonic Europe.
"VDI and the emerging Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) market is accelerating rapidly as more organizations look to simplify desktop management and increase security," said Andrew Gee, European Director at Teradici. "ViewSonic's new range of PCoIP Zero Clients offers organizations a rich user experience in VDI and DaaS environments, and adds to Teradici's growing portfolio of PCoIP end-point solutions."
VDI Technology
ViewSonic's Zero Client solutions enable users to access their virtual desktops on a central server via Teradici's PCoIP technology and helps a business fully transition to a VDI strategy. The new PCoIP Zero Clients give end-users direct access to their virtual desktops, without the need for a local CPU or storage, enhancing the VDI experience. The PCoIP protocol delivers an image of the desktop to the Zero Client via pixels with no data leaving the server, enhancing data security and simplifying IT management.
ViewSonic's new range of Zero Clients is suitable for a broad range of users from task workers to power users such as designers, investment traders, or users requiring multiple displays, maximum workspace, and higher productivity. ViewSonic delivers a full line of PCoIP Zero Clients designed to accommodate the needs of end-users in a number of use cases, and help organisations deliver enhanced VDI deployments.
Certified for VMware® Horizon ViewTM
ViewSonic's Zero Client devices are the perfect solution for companies that demand a high-performance desktop experience, with added security and manageability in VMware Horizon View environments. All of the benefits of a virtual desktop deployment can be realized with ViewSonic's Zero Clients. Offering simple and quick deployment, enhanced security with no local HDD, increased reliability, higher productivity and a cleaner desktop space, the SD-Z225 and SD-Z245 integrated zero client displays, respectively 22" and 24", are efficient and low-cost choices for virtualizing desktops.
