Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) clients come in many forms. Indeed, one of the advantages of VDI is the ability to connect to a VDI instance from almost any device. However, at Penn the most common purpose-built VDI clients are those from Dell, including the OptiPlex 3000 desktop thin client, the Wyse 5070 desktop thin client, the Wyse 5470 all-in-one desktop thin client, and the Wyse 5470 notebook thin client.
If your School, Center, or department is considering a significant VDI client purchase, ISC strongly recommends a consultation to weigh pros and cons in today's rapidly changing environment (contact John Mulhern III in ISC, mulhernj@upenn.edu; 573-3567).
