HDX technology in Citrix XenDesktop™ delivers a high-definition user experience of virtual desktops and applications. The Citrix HDX Ready designation is reserved for thin client devices like the TC5X that have been verified to work with HDX technology in both XenDesktop and Citrix XenApp™.

“Devon IT continues to advance the capabilities of virtual desktop computing with the TC5X thin client,” said John Fanelli, vice president, community and solutions marketing at Citrix.  “Coupled with HDX technology in XenDesktop, the TC5X provides an excellent experience for demanding users who require multi-monitor support, high-definition video and use high throughput devices such as VOIP headsets.  Working together XenDesktop and the Citrix HDX Ready TC5X deliver a high-definition user experience and expand the ability of companies and organizations to offer virtual desktops to a wide variety of users.”

“HDX technology in XenDesktop is again delivering optimal  user experience for virtual desktops, and this time playing a vital role in the adoption of alternatives to PC computing models,” says Stephane Verdy, Devon IT’s CTO. “HDX allows seamless multimedia, plug-and-play access to USB and other peripherals, high-performance graphics, VOIP, and other key media imperative for business functionality. We are proud that our technology has grown with Citrix and that the TC5X can advance side-by-side with XenDesktop to enhance the experience for thin client users.”

The TC5 was the first thin client generally available with the powerful Intel® Atom™ n270 1.6GHz dual threaded processor capable of dual-DVI displays with a minimum desktop footprint. The TC5X is Energy Star Certified, with very low power consumption, and is now available with the updated Windows Embedded Standard 2009 OS with support for XenApp and XenDesktop.

The TC10 zero client has no application OS, CPU, or processor and provides a rich user experience using the PC-over-IP® (PCoIP®) protocol, ideal for virtual desktop environments as well as hardware accelerated remote workstations. With an integrated  Teradici PCoIP processor,  the TC10 allows users at enterprises and small-scale companies to manage desktops centrally  and allows delivery of images and applications that rival PC performance directly from the data center.

“The hurdles for widespread adoption of virtual desktop computing solutions have undoubtedly been anchored in performance,” says Stephane Verdy, CTO for Devon IT. “Powerful new zero client solutions like the TC10 deliver high-end user experiences that rival traditional desktop PCs, eradicating the performance obstacle but also drastically improving the utility for IT personnel. The cost, management, and security benefits of managing virtual desktops centrally have proven to be very attractive to companies of all sizes, and we believe adding rich media and performance with Zero Client computing fills a growing segment in virtual desktop deployment.”

“Devon has been a long term partner of Teradici and their innovative design of the TC10 zero client provides a highly secure and low maintenance method of accessing virtual desktops with full media capability,” said Randy Groves, CTO at Teradici Corporation. “The new release of VMware View™ 4 with the PCoIP protocol is a compelling solution and makes the Devon TC10 a good fit for a much broader audience.”

The TC10 zero client solution offers tremendous flexibility and management benefits for both IT administrators and users. Centralized client management, storage, and processing from a secure data center can drastically improve IT efficiency and reduce associated costs, all while giving users real-time, secure access to corporate applications and files. Virtual computing also gives users a personal, PC-like experience, even though data can be accessed from any similar device. And the minimal footprint of the TC10 eliminates the need to equip even remote users with a complex client device, which can reduce deployment costs.

According to Gartner Inc., the worldwide hosted virtual desktop (HVD) market is expected to reach 49 million units by 2013, up from over 500,000 units in 2009. Worldwide HVD revenue is expected to grow from about $1.5 billion in 2009, which is less than one percent of the worldwide professional PC market, to $65.7 billion in 2013, equal to over 40% of the worldwide professional PC market. U.S.-based Devon IT works with over 100 European distributors and resellers, including TDIST, a leading provider of IT products to the value added reseller channel.

“The European thin client market has always been larger than that of the United States, and our precipitous sales growth in the region sparked the need for expansion,” says Adrian Hedges, general manager of European operations for Devon IT. “We’ve seen an uptake in virtual desktop deployment worldwide, fueled by VMware’s View software, and tremendous interest in centrally managing desktops. Our Intel Atom processor-based TC5 thin client and thin client management software fit perfectly with virtualization software, and we are poised to increase our global presence in the booming virtual desktop market.”

“It is no secret that users are increasingly deploying virtualization and wireless technologies across Europe, and that this trend will continue indefinitely,” says Steve Hawes, Marketing Director for TDIST. “Companies like Devon IT have introduced advanced thin client hardware and software technologies to the marketplace and have destroyed performance and cost barriers formally prohibiting widespread adoption of hosted virtual desktops. We expect Devon IT to continue its exceptional growth into the European market, and are proud to expand revenue opportunities for resellers with Devon IT.”

The TC10 is among the first thin clients to run Teradici’s patented PCoIP® protocol on hardware-to-hardware and hardware-to-software displays after becoming the first thin client ever to run PCoIP in 2007. PCoIP enables customers operating remotely to deploy rich functionality and full multimedia user experiences. VMware View 4, the industry’s only purpose-built desktop virtualization solution, has enabled new quality, cost and scale standards and helped users eliminate critical functionality barriers that previously restricted customer adoption.

“We are excited about the expanded capabilities for VMware View™ 4 with Teradici’s PCoIP® display protocol,” said Raj Mallempati, director, product marketing, Desktop Business Unit, VMware. “This powerful solution requires high-powered thin clients like the TC10 to work effectively. We are pleased that the TC10 fits these requirements after passing specific VMware integration and interoperability criteria.”

“The collaboration between Teradici and Devon IT continues to deliver innovative PCoIP solutions to enterprises looking to maximize their VDI investment,” said Dan Cordingley, president and CEO, Teradici Corporation. “With comprehensive security, optimal desktop reliability, and low total cost of ownership, the TC10 zero client provides VMware View 4.0 customers with a reliable and future-proof solution.”

“VMware View™ 4 has no doubt raised the bar for delivering high-quality, PC-like desktop experiences to users of all intensity levels, from task workers to CAD engineers and financial traders,” says Stephane Verdy, CTO for Devon IT. “We have worked with innovators like VMware and Teradici for years, and we are ecstatic that we can once again provide customers with the most powerful PCoIP-based thin client in the world.”
