Dell Unveils its Lightest, Smallest and Most Power-Efficient
Entry-level Thin Client – Wyse 3040

Singapore – Mar. 30, 2017 –
Dell announces its lightest, smallest and most power-efficient thin clienti that offers superb performance and
manageability for task and basic productivity users. Compatible with Citrix,
Microsoft and VMware virtual workspace environments, the Wyse 3040 thin client
provides a cost-effective endpoint solution that is highly secure, yet easy to
deploy and manage. It is the industry’s first entry-level Intel x86-based
quad-core thin client[i],
delivering robust connectivity options and a choice of Wyse ThinOS or ThinLinux
operating systems.

Today’s workforce requires access to highly efficient, powerful
systems and tools that enable them to innovate, collaborate and share
information in a secure environment. In fact, more than 70 percent of
millennials feel that advanced technology is crucial to a collaborative,
productive and efficient work environment, according to the Dell
Future Ready Workforce Study. The
Wyse 3040 thin client is an affordable, efficient and easy to manage endpoint
solution that allows IT managers to keep costs low while
supporting basic productivity and light multitasking. It is ideal for customers
across a range of industries, including highly-regulated sectors such as
retail, finance, healthcare and education.

“Our customers are looking for that ideal blend of security, performance,
energy efficiency and price,” said Steve Lalla, Senior VP, Commercial Client
Software & Solutions, Dell. “The new Wyse 3040 thin client – the smallest
and most efficient thin client – exceeds expectations of what an entry-level
thin client can do.”

With a new slim line form factor starting at just 0.24kg
(0.53lbs)[ii],
the Wyse 3040 is the first entry-level thin client to feature an Intel Atom X5
1.44GHz quad-core processor that supports up to 2GB DDR3 RAM and 8GB flash.
Designed for efficiency, the Wyse 3040 delivers 30 percent better performance
than previous generations[iii],
making it ideal for light multimedia use and local application activity. With
its small size, it’s also easy to mount on the back of a monitor for a clean,
de-cluttered workspace. Additional features include:

The Wyse 3040 thin client is compatible with all of the major
virtualization software brokers including Citrix XenDesktop, Microsoft RDS and
VMware Horizon. In addition to the already supported Citrix HDX, Microsoft RDP
and PCoIP protocols, Wyse 3040 will also support VMware Blast Extreme remote
protocol starting June 2017.
