HP’s New Commercial PCs Solve Big IT Challenges

HP’s New Commercial PCs Solve Big IT Challenges

May 25, 2012

Released earlier this month, HP’s sleek new PCs for the enterprise are attractive, powerful and geared for Windows 8.

inShare2

REDMOND, Wash. — May 25, 2012 — In the ever-changing world of corporate IT, new challenges are always arising. From the “consumerization of IT” to managing a growing volume of data, today’s IT professionals must find a way to blend a huge array of new technologies while continually improving the efficiency and security of their organizations.

On May 9, one of the world’s top providers of enterprise technology, HP, released the largest new line of commercial products in its history, designed to address the issues facing IT both today and in the future. With more than 30 new business desktops, notebooks, workstations, printers and more, HP’s new lineup was created to help business leaders balance the onslaught of issues they’re facing today against the demands of their end users — while also offering a foundation for the future.

HP SpectreXT Pro

May 24, 2012

The HP SpectreXT Pro features an ultrastylish design with an all-metal chassis, slim bezel line and 13.3-inch display, measuring 14.5 mm thin and 3.07 pounds. This Windows PC is packed with feature-rich extras like Beats Audio™, backlit keyboard, HP CoolSense and TrueVision HD Webcam.

Jeffery Hoag, an HP R&D professional who serves as a liaison between partners, customers and HP’s own engineering teams, says the new lineup is designed to offer the sleek, lightweight designs that users are craving while also providing the business and reliability features IT departments demand.

“It’s offering products that are manageable by IT rather than consumer products that are entering into the workplace,” he says. “With this new product refresh, we’re making enterprise computers light and sleek and cool enough that users will adopt them, while ensuring they support all the local and remote security features and software that HP deploys across our enterprise and business products.”

The new lineup includes a set of Ultrabooks designed to balance business features and attractive design. The company also announced its smallest and lightest EliteBook business notebook yet, the 2170p, scheduled to come out later this year. HP is also refreshing its b-series and s-series notebooks, designed for small and medium-sized businesses, with stylish aluminum cases. On the desktop side, the company has redesigned its 8300, 6300 and 4300 series desktops, including the introduction of a new 4300 series all-in-one PC.

According to Hoag, besides offering that important blend of enterprise and consumer appeal, all the new products were designed and built with the future in mind. As the industry prepares for the new world of Windows 8, HP has worked closely with Microsoft to understand the upcoming OS and build its PCs accordingly.

HP’s work with Microsoft involves a close collaboration including a resident engineer at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond. But according to Jeff Erbstein, senior director of Microsoft’s Worldwide HP account team responsible for commercial products, HP spends an even greater amount of time grounding its design work in customer feedback.

“They do multiple customer councils,” he says. “Their product design people spend a lot of time with customers reviewing current products and concepts to make sure they contain features and benefits that enterprise customers are really looking for.”

According to Hoag, HP routinely brings in IT managers and key decision-makers from its enterprise customers to both critique and to look at needs and functions both short term and long term. Many of the customers HP consults are worldwide organizations, with all the associated challenges of deploying across the globe to tens of thousands of users, something that HP takes seriously.

Whether it’s with its largest enterprise customers or industry partners such as Microsoft, Hoag says HP’s collaborative approach to product design has resulted in a massive suite of new products that are state-of-the-art now, and ready to handle the next generation of technologies.

“We’re looking to move ahead of the legacy and move into the future,” he says. “This new product refresh is not only a huge launch for us, it’s also a huge leap forward.”

• Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) Enterprise simplifies desktop configuration and application delivery with Unidesk®
• Unidesk Optimizes DVS Enterprise deployments, reducing VDI storage capacity by up to 70 percent with Dell EqualLogic*
• University of Connecticut’s desktop virtualization initiative thriving with DVS Enterprise and Unidesk
• Dell DVS offers an end-to-end approach, bringing together best- practice ingredients from the datacenter to the end point

Dell is enhancing its Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) portfolio with the introduction of DVS Enterprise with Unidesk, helping to make it easier and more affordable for IT organizations with complex environments or diverse user needs to implement virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI).

DVS Enterprise, designed for organizations with demanding IT environments and diverse end-user requirements, will now be available with Unidesk’s innovative VDI management software. Unidesk integrates with technology from both Citrix and VMware to provide the vital management capabilities needed to simplify VDI implementations and help reduce overall total cost of ownership while enhancing the end-user experience. 

With DVS Enterprise and Unidesk, IT organizations in industries such as education, healthcare, state and local government, and financial services can achieve streamlined IT management and an uncompromised user experience made possible by Unidesk’s unique desktop layering technology, even if users require different applications or personalization. 

“Our goal with DVS Enterprise is to bring a robust and flexible end to end solution with enhanced levels of management and cost optimization” said Dell’s Steve Lalla, vice president and general manager of the company’s mobility solutions group. “With Unidesk layering technology added to DVS Enterprise, we make it easier and more affordable for IT to deploy and manage virtual desktops leveraging the DVS Integrated Solutions Stack infrastructure. We are now able to give each end user a personal and uncompromised persistent desktop experience every time they log in.” 

DVS Enterprise with Unidesk
DVS Enterprise, which combines the latest Dell PowerEdge 12th generation servers, Dell storage, Dell network components, broker and hypervisor software, services and end points including thin clients, now offers Unidesk as the desktop provisioning and management software component for Citrix® XenDesktop® or VMware View™.

The innovative Unidesk “layers” approach enables fully persistent and personalized desktops, supports worry-free user installed applications, and provides enterprise-class scalability and advanced management options. The ability to share common layers across many desktops can reduce VDI storage capacity requirements by up to 70 percent*.

“Our customers have validated how Unidesk layering technology simplifies VDI, expands use cases, and brings greater ROI to desktop virtualization implementations,” said Don Bulens, Unidesk CEO. “We’re thrilled that Dell has recognized these same value propositions, and has made Unidesk a part of DVS Enterprise. With Dell’s market presence and Unidesk’s software innovation, the many benefits of virtual desktops are finally available to all.”

“Desktop virtualization has become a disruptive force as many enterprises transition away from costly device-centric to more people-centric desktop and application delivery models,” said Chris Wolf, research vice president at Gartner. “Gartner has consistently heard from early adopters that virtual desktop deployments struggle to scale when traditional PC and application lifecycle methodologies are applied. To that end, IT decision makers should leverage modern application layering and delivery solutions in order to achieve the operating expense savings they expect, and the scalability they require.”

Customers Benefit from DVS Enterprise with Unidesk
The University of Connecticut recently deployed Dell’s DVS Enterprise solution with Unidesk in order to easily provision and manage virtual desktops for Master’s students and faculty at the School of Business.

“Dell DVS and Unidesk are a great fit for any organization looking to simplify virtual desktop deployments, deliver different types of applications, and implement VDI for a wide range of users and use cases,” said Jeremy Pollack, director of IT for the University of Connecticut School Of Business. “The combination of Dell and Unidesk has been instrumental to the success of our vPC desktop virtualization initiative from both IT operations and user acceptance perspectives.” 

Availability
Unidesk is available today through Dell direct. Additional integration enhancements and service offerings are expected to be available later this year.
