Thin Client madness – NComputing’s HDX SoC and Wyse Xenith 2 debut & analysis
May 20, 2012 – 9:27 am | No Comment

Wyse was showing off Xenith 2, which has been reworked with a System-on-Chip architecture. It’s not the HDX SoC, though, but it’s the same idea. If you recall the first Xenith, it was based on a Wyse C-Class device, had a bios and on-board firmware, which had zero client purists up in arms. Xenith 2 is totally stateless, and while they didn’t release pricing, we were told that we’d be amazed. Stay tuned in early June for that information. Until then, check out the video I shot with Wyse’s Jeff McNaught.

Thin ClientsComputing’s fist foray into third part thin clients is based on the HDX SoC that is the talk of thin clients at Synergy. Announced at Synergy in Barcelona last year, it was nice to see these devices at the following show. What we saw in Barcelona were prototype boards that were just a step or two away from breadboard designs.

It’s interesting to me that both of these companies have focused on HDX only, although with NComputing I understand that this is their first entry into the third party thin client market. For Wyse, though, they’ve had Xenith for 2 years now and they still only support HDX with it in spite of the fact that HP has the ability to deploy HDX, PCoIP and RemoteFX environments to all of their thin clients (including the ones based on the HDX SoC).
