ViewSonic Corp. announced a major platform update to its SC-T25 Citrix
Ready workspace hub (previously known as Citrix HDX Ready Pi).
Effective March 31, 2018, ViewSonic will be offering the Citrix Ready
workspace hub update as a technical preview available for download on
ViewSonic.com. Added workspace hub features include: beacon-based
session roaming, QR code login, and Citrix Casting. Citrix Casting will
enable seamless and secure session roaming from a mobile device to any
display connected to the workspace hub. For the first time, with these
additional tools, a wide variety of new uses are supported in the
healthcare, finance, and enterprise markets.
The
new Citrix Ready workspace hub update means the already popular and
high- performing SC-T25 will deliver even more compelling enterprise
capabilities. Using secure login credentials presented in a phone or
mobile device, users can seamlessly connect to their virtual workspace,
simply based on proximity to an available ViewSonic SC-T25 workspace hub
device. This will eliminate the need for manual login and network
authentication, providing tremendous time-saving and productivity
advantages for healthcare clinicians, financial analysts, and general
knowledge workers in the enterprise space.
"With
the Citrix workspace hub update to the SC-T25, ViewSonic is able build
upon its high performing thin client solution to deliver a new level of
versatility for businesses and enterprises," said Erik Willey, product
marketing director at ViewSonic. "Our relationship with Citrix ensures
that ViewSonic can easily build upon the success of the SC-T25 and
transform it by adding a wide variety of new uses in different market
segments to create seamless working environments."
"Citrix
is pleased to be expanding on our long-term partnership with ViewSonic
with the launch of the first official Citrix workspace hub," said Chris
Fleck, VP & Technology Fellow at Citrix. "ViewSonic's SC-T25
(formerly HDX Pi) is the first Citrix Ready workspace hub device to
support all the latest workspace hub technologies, including beacon
based session roaming, QR code login, and Citrix Casting. In the coming
months Citrix will work closely with ViewSonic to enable full device
management capabilities of the Citrix Ready workspace hub under the
Citrix XenMobile MDM platform. This new purpose built solution will
deliver virtual workspaces with better security, reliability,
ease-of-use, and lowest possible TCO to vertical markets."
Having
partnered with industry leaders like the Raspberry Pi Foundation and
Citrix Systems, Inc, ViewSonic is able to deliver a powerful thin client
with an extremely attractive price point. Even more, last year
ViewSonic announced a partnership with Stratodesk to bring a host of
additional features, including NoTouch® OS and Center management
software which allows for simple provisioning and updating across
networks.
With
a slim and compact design and optional mounting plate, the ViewSonic
SC-T25 easily attaches to a VESA-compatible monitor. With an
eco-friendly design, the SC-T25 consumes less than 5W of power and uses
up to 90 percent less energy than standard PCs. The SC-T25 is the smart
choice for organizations looking to future-proof their virtual
workspace.
The
Citrix Ready workspace hub is a fully assembled thin client that
includes everything you need in a single, orderable package.
- HDX System-on-Chip
- Citrix Receiver optimized with GPU offloading
- Flash card with secure Linux operating system
- Stratodesk NoTouch® Enterprise Grade management software
The
ViewSonic SC-T25 Citrix workspace hub will be available March 31, 2018
for an ESP of $99.99 through the company's network of channel partners.
The Citrix workspace hub technical preview will be available for
