This lack of investment and focus from Dell is very apparent with the latest release of Dell’s custom thin client , Wyse ThinOS – ThinOS 9. Dell “recreated” ThinOS into a new version that will be theoretically more adaptable but has less functionality and is arguably inferior to its predecessor, ThinOS 8. ThinOS 9 is lacking some key VDI and cloud technology integrations and is limited to only a small subset of Dell Wyse branded devices, namely the Wyse 3040, 5070, 5470 all-in-one, and 5470 mobile thin clients. Customers with other/older Wyse branded hardware must purchase these newer models if they want to benefit from future releases of Wyse ThinOS. At IGEL, we believe this is no way to treat your customers. WHY IGEL OS? 2. Move to the cloud with confidence.
