Overview
Introduction
1.1 Introduction
Desktop virtualization provides a new perspective to reconsider the design and implementation of an IT
infrastructure. In a desktop virtualization infrastructure, a station is no longer a cumbersome desktop, but simply
an endpoint device for users to access delivery services from the server(s).
With the introduction of the desktop virtualization technologies, you can considerably benet from:
• On-demand applications/desktops
• Centralized management of work environments
• Drastically reduced endpoint software/hardware issues
• Simplied system maintenance and improved system security
• More scalability with low-cost endpoint devices
1.2 Features
The key features of Atrust mt188L mobile thin clients are:
3
• Built-in Wireless 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and Ethernet network interface
• Support for a wide range of desktop virtualization solutions from industry-leading companies:
⪧ Microsoft® Remote Desktop
⪧ Citrix® XenApp™, XenDesktop®, and VDI-in-a-Box™
⪧ VMware® View™ and Horizon View™
• Support for high-denition technologies
⪧ Microsoft® RemoteFX®
⪧ Citrix® HDX™
⪧ VMware® View™ PCoIP®
• Simple click-access to various applications/desktops
• Built-in Atrust Client Setup as the local client management console
