Why have you not tested an IGEL solution? IGEL has the best Remote Management software, plus it is FREE with free lifetime support, and does not use PXE. They are VMware certified, finalists in Citrix Solution Provider 2008, have a TC card that can turn an old PC into a thin client, and the only Linux with VDM appliance. Plus, they have free demos!!

I have a conference call with Dell later today to see what they are offering. My co-worker pointed me to this page on their site which has the specs of their Optiplex thin client – http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/sitelets/solutions/virtualization/fcs_optiplex_fx160?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=biz. I don’t think its using the Teradici chipset, but its appears to be their own product.

I talked with Dell’s representatives at VMworld and they indicated that they’d be releasing some new models of their own. They are currently selling Wyse products. I also talked with the Teradici representatives and they told me that Dell would be utilizing their chipset in their upcoming thin client product.

Isn’t Dell selling also wyse terminals? We are a Dell partner in the Netherlands and they only could deliver Wyse terminals.
